Just watched this segment for the second time. Melbourne was not mentioned again. It's as though these [censored] have as much amnesia about the Demons as the French have about their German ancestry, witness Charlemagne, alias Carl Der Grosse.

360 talked about gawn. OTC talked about mfc having a collection of high level talent. Petracca. Viney, Oliver, brawshaw and Hogan could be premiership worthy if Hogan stays. Jbrown would offer 15mil over 10 if he was freo. Best under 21 yo player.

Sacre Blue, you aren't the grand handstander, the bane of Ron Barasssi's life, the thumper of Robbie, the alleged locker room thief at St Kilda, the victim who finally retaliated at the merciless Hawthorn snipers and caused poor Leigh to assault Bews?

Yeah, yeah, I was watching a recording, commented prematurely - see above

What's there to mention?  We're only 4-3, havent beaten anyone of genuine quality yet, still inconsistent at best, hell even Carlton have put together longer winning streaks.

we will get the praise when there is something to praise. We're improving but still a bloody long way to go.

I like being the underdog. Like a horse race, I am wary of a favourite. Naturally if we keep winning we are going to go into matches as favourites more often than not, but happy with a low profile and slow emergence. As for the football media , I do not give a toss. They are imbeciles and best not listened to anytime anywhere. They are completely fickle and most of the time dumb. They talk off the top of their head and rarely have opinions that matter.  We certainly do not need others to talk us up.

More than happy with no mention -   sign we have improved and no longer headline news when we win -   keeps the players feet on the ground too.

We beat North. The scoreboard just didn't ultimately reflect that.

Have to agree. I've grown to dislike him over time due to his perceived arrogance, but he actually makes the show watchable again. The Hutchison/Barrett combo was deplorable, Lloyd is average and Caro talks little about the actual football. 

Unlike Hutchison and Barrett, Judd's analysis was reasoned and without hyperbole.

Dermie on SEN earlier today was right into the Dees.  Interestingly, he posed a hypothetical question to the other hosts, if the bottom ten teams were to hold a mini comp right now, who would wind up in the grand final.  Instant universal response was Dees and Saints.  They all agreed that those two sides are a cut above the rest as far as the bottom ten go.

Had my dees scarf on at work yesterday and a passer by struck up some conversation with me. Said the dees are one of his favourite teams to watch when his team (Geelong) isn't playing. Exciting brand of footy when it works. 

 

If the media aren't noticing us, other fans are!

Frankly who cares what the paid mouthpieces are saying. It's like a child saying look at me, look at me. Craving some kind of respect.

We have beaten no-one (well , maybe GWS) and I'd be far happier for us to stay out of the media and the limelight and let our performances do the talking. We are coming from a long way back in terms of respect. Let's not be arrogant tossers because as we have shown this season, we can put in a shocker every few weeks.

Let this team develop winning habits and good training standards without fanfare.

    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

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
