Can't wait for Robbo to interview him in his typically ebullient way!

So Max, remember that day down at Kardinia Park (2005) where I booted seven goals on you including a bag in the last quarter, to lead the Dees to a famous come-from -behind victory?

Egan had a shot on the siren too from memory.

And Max will say, "hey, Robbo, remember those two premiership medallions I won after you were delisted by Melbourne?" ;)

He's going to have special responsibility for rookies ... to be known as Rooke's Rookies.

And, presumably, he will work with them in the Rookery...

Rooke is working on the defensive  switch with King.Seems like a tactical move.

I was proper stoked with getting Rooke until I read this page.

Thought I'd be enlightened with a look.

But, I was SOOO  mistook!

So, I curled up and had a sook..."

They wanted Enright, but might have someone just as good.  Let's hope so.

In my view the coaching panel is the equal of any.  Coaching is 90% during the week and 10% gameday.  Goodwin was effectively coach last year in my view and it was most certainly his gameplan.

I quite like that we've made a few changes, bought in a lot of guys who have premiership experience, but i think in the assistant coaching ranks it's important to make changes semi-regularly because sometimes a fresh set of eyes can make a difference, Egan, Rooke and Chaplin will definitely help in this regard.

I'm looking forward to watching an interview with Rooke. Burgo was quick off the mark when Chaplin was announced but we're yet to see anything with Rooke and Egan.

    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

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
