It's amazing what can happen when  a team plays for each other, supports each other and believe in each other.  This is what Melbourne sides had under Northey and Daniher.  That, I hope, will be the n

Hate to sound like a broken record but to all those who excused our last two games on the basis that we were young or tired.... have a look at what a "TEAM" can do. They had every right after the

Hawkins is everything Hogan could become.

Hawkins did take a few years before things really clicked.

I bet Lewis' sly punch behind the play in Q1 will once again be overlooked.

God Hawthorn are annoying to watch. They play such uncontested footy. When it's tough in packs they can't handle it. It's a pity teams can't keep the intensity up for a whole game against them like we did or they'd come unstuck. Hate watching their players whinge for frees even though they get a dream run with the umps.

Hope Geelong can reset at half time and tighten up their defense to stop those over the top [censored] goals. Cmon Geelong!

Well we know geelongs tactics. Just annoy the crap out of Mitchell. It feels like Hawthorn are much further ahead than what the scoreboard says. They got on top of the cats there. Dangers fumbled the ball a few times and done some poor kicks. Could have done that 2 weeks ago. 

Anyway a great 2nd half coming up.

Luke Hodge and Joel Selwood seem to spend more time talking to the umpires than any other captains in the league....

You can't expect to receive preferential treatment if you don't network. It's social relations 101.

I'm sick to the death of seeing both these teams in the finals. Part of me doesn't care who wins as along as they hurt each other. But even for Hawthorn, I have never seen so much whinging for free kicks, gesturing at the umpire, squealing and moaning. Hodge, Lewis and Mitchell - just shut up and play footy. 

Having said that, it is not the most enjoyable game to watch.  A lot of pressure and fumbling but not much clean footy.

Hopefully sniper Mitchell gets cleaned up in the second half. Such a whinging piece of [censored] that bloke. And he never, NEVER stands up in the big finals games. He's got the worst finals record I can remember from any "superstar" footballer in my lifetime.

Fitzy missed a couple of chances.

Would have loved him to kick them but want his stinking team to get pumped!

It's like that, I desperately want Hawthorn to get done over, I'm loving Chip spudding it up but I'm barracking for Fitzy.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.

    LAST DANCE by The Oracle

    Forget the wishful thinking from Magpie fans who think their team can perform yet another miracle and somehow snatch a place in the 2024 finals series when their team takes on the Demons at the MCG on Friday night. It ain’t gunna happen. They can whistle Dixie through their non-existent front teeth but the fact of the matter is that both teams have run their race. The game is a dead rubber — for each of them, this will be the last dance of the season.  And given the history between the two

    RED FACED by Whispering Jack

    The wind and the hot unseasonable temperatures together with lights turned on mid game at People First Stadium conspired to leave many Suns players and supporters red faced and gasping for air as the Demons proved a number of points on their way to a nine goal triumph on Saturday afternoon in the Carrara sunshine. Melbourne is the only non-Queensland team to taste victory at this venue in 2024. This surely leaves a number of journalists and media mavens red faced after they rushed to pass
