    Great news. Now someone get Oscar twenty pies and five snot blocks. Looking at that picture, he couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding

    and he looks a lot more than 2cm taller. wonder if he has put on a height spurt this year which has slowed him from filling out. looks a good 6cm in pic

    Great news.

    Tom is a top 5 defender.

    Oscar, has some areas to improve, but last 2 weeks has really started to show some glimpses.

    According to Tom in the Burgs article, he never talked to any other clubs or assessed any other offers.

    Can we please stop assuming that a long negotiation equals player leaving now? Not every player is Tom Scully. 

    Nasher - Who do you think your audience is? We are a paranoid bunch by definition, we hang out in a online chat room. BTW Happy about the signings

    I'm not though; I generally assume things will work out if the actual machinations are invisible to me. Yes, Scully blindsided me as a result, but I still believe that was an exception rather than the rule.

    Thank god that's out of the way. We've now locked away all our young talent! The only one left is making sure Hogan re-signs before the end of next year.

    With less pressure on the back line as we get better we may see less brain fades from TMac and more of him doing what he does best and just shutting off opposition attacks.

    Good news.  Both have been good the last few weeks. Hope they both don't have the post signing bad game this week.

    a slightly tongue in cheek comment, however I do believe if pleading for common sense on this site worked there would not be a need for a filter option. More seriously, we are a destination club now, and I thank PJ for that and the recruiting team, year after year where they have been proved correct, our 2014/15 drafts demonstrating real insight, especially the use of the points system or whatever it is called.

    Great news. Keep the defensive group together. 

    Within 2 years we should be smashing the 8. If that's the case neither will leave

    now let's get Hurley and funk Essendrug right off

    How good has Jack W been since his contract extension.

    Who else but Hogan whose thread is now at 44 pages and if I remember correctly is not the first on the subject.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
