Hughesy sprays the Dees

I got a few good laughs out of it... it's just standard comedy roast fare and all good harmless fun. Makes for a good break from the usual training regime which can't be a bad thing.

Funniest thing I've seen on footy for a long time. Good to break the routine for the boys. Let's just take it as it was meant to be received. Do we have to over analyse everything?

Hogan sitting in the back.

Confirmed signed with Freo.

Think it was the late Dean Bailey that summed it up well one day by saying (impersonating the annoying voice of the man in question), "Hughesy, makes me wanna spewsy".

Can't stand Hughes, so it was never going to be a segment I raved about.

As was Jones.... not leading from the front as any good captain should. Sack him!

I thought it was amusing. Was good to see the lads having a laugh and refreshing that the jokes weren't just focused on how rubbish we've been.

For what it's worth, he's a top bloke in person.

Actually I joked about that Hardtack, sat at the back from day one at the Club, same with Hogan, opposite with Tommy Mc always at the front

Not a big fan of Hughesy but that was very interesting.

Look at the problem he had - we stink and he was supposed to get some laughs at the players' expense.

So he said nothing about how we play and instead ripped into appearances and odd bits of behaviour - good line about Gawn - so I reckon it was cleverly crafted to avoid giving offence about what really matters, our performance as a footy club.

Should have kept it in house, where it belonged. I like good standup, but that was a Sportsman's Night.

He's going to do every club over the course of the season.

There was very little in there that was news to keen followers of the club, it's not like he divulged stories of our players breaking the law or up to huge antics like the glory days of sportsman nights.

We should be thankful we got some press by Hughesy doing ours first.

1.I refuse to watch the "Footy Show"

2. It amazes me that Hughes has a following. He is a remarkably unfunny comedian.

Yeah its school boy stuff...hughesy character can be annoying but there are a lot worse.... would you prefer Charlie Pickering instead?

Err .. well ... excuse my blissful ignorance but I have no clue who the said Charlie Pickering is. And ..PLEASE, since I have happily lived my life without knowing of this gentleman, do not bother informing me and thereby cluttering my already diminished grey matter with further useless information.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
