Had a good yarn to Lewis at the Sorrento pub last night, with a mutual friend. Tried not to bother him at too much length about footy but he's EXTREMELY excited about starting with the club and

Lewis was my neighbour until a few years ago.  A top fella, who has an extremely sharp football brain.  Even in our darkest hours, he insisted that I stick fat as he was sure there were good times to

This is a big tick for Goodwin as well (Do we buy a case of something for our recruiting department? I think they have kicked this one over the wheat silo) Could not be more stoked or surprised - and if Lewis comes to the MFC then anyone can, we are a #destinationclub.

Wow and we didn't even give up any picks? Just downgraded our 3rd and 4th rounders? Mahoney is a genius.

Amazing really, I think the smoke and mirrors is to confuse some Hawthorn supporters into thinking they got two picks. Great trading by Mahoney and the FD. Two small downgrades - Wow!

I'm assuming that the players we are going to pick with those picks will be available regardless of pick 48 or pick 57 and pick 66 or pick 68.

Great win by the Dees.

What a great PR exercise for us and a terrible one for the Hawks!  if they had worked with Lewis to find a trade they would have gotten a pick in the 30's at least

Unbelievable deal!

Less than 6 months until round one!   Hurrraahhh!   **cough

Confusing all hell out of significant proportion of their membership base...

Finally a mad Demon supporter (and Demon supporting Family) has made it in via trade - awesome change from Judd, Buddy etc.....

So he grew up supporting the MFC?

I love his use of the word that I have put in bold below.

"I looked at every Club in the competition and after going through every list, Melbourne was the one that stood out – if I wasn’t going to be at Hawthorn. It was clear to me that I wanted to play for the Melbourne Football Club.

“I then met with Goody, Josh and Todd early last week and following that, it really solidified my thoughts about joining Melbourne.

“I believe in what the Club is building. There is some outstanding young talent at the Club and that is an area I can certainly play a role in – mentoring and developing those players both in an on-field and off-field sense. 

“I’m really looking forward to this new challenge. We have a lot of work to do but from what I know, and from what I have seen firsthand, the players seem up for the fight and I can’t wait to get to work at the Club."

I shall add to the chorus.  Great news.  Really rate this guy.  Have enjoyed watching him on AFL 360.  Hope he continues on there next year - in his new livery, of course!

Go Dees!

This is a brilliant move.

We absolutely lack mature leadership. This takes so much pressure off Jones, and Bernie who I think is on his last legs. 

It means we have someone who can mentor our young players, and show them what it takes to be part of a premiership club, while also being a big body to support our developing mids and help push them when things are not going our way during games.

I strongly believe that Goodwin has his eyes firmly set on making finals next year.

All those things I said about him being an arrogant thug were obviously only meant 

in jest ?

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    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.
