I still can’t believe Norf fans exist. Like I know they do, and each one of them is a [censored], but like why?

Uhm because they’ve had a lot more success than Melb in our lifetimes? Good on them for sticking by the club.

    We would not be trading Brayden Preuss if we weren't extremely confident Luke Jackson was going to extend his contract. 

    Not traded yet and he is deciding to leave, so no correlation to Jackson’s intentions.

    Good get Cards. Four flags in 45 years for a club with limited resources is a marvellous effort.

    Truth is given North’s relative success it actually shows that having success is one piece of the puzzle, being able to capitalise on it is another. Given their 90s they should be a powerhouse. 

    Since 2000 they haven’t had anything to ride home about and been sitting comfortably in mediocrity ever since, unwilling to ever bottom out properly (no choice now). I’m not saying we’ve been any better because we haven’t.

    Truth is, they've one one flag every 11 years on average for 45 years. In the period, that record is only bettered by Carlscum, and Horethorn.

    We’d be close to that over 60 years... ?

    I'm not arguing their onfield success hasn't been good, of course I'm bloody envious. But many of us bemoan the fact that during the AFL's transition from semi-professional into elite sport we were garbage meant that we missed out on the opportunity to be a bigger and better club. North had that but are still in the position they are where they're fighting to survive, I'm just pointing out that they failed to capitalise when they had their chance, they should be a powerhouse with that success but they aren't.

    Disagree, bad business for the MFC to give him our blessing to assess his options, and allow him to select a desired new home and then block it at the last minute. i think the club would have a reason to be confident of Jacksons intentions to stick around before those steps were taken. even if it were verbal.

    Personally i thought they did have a chance to become a powerhouse club if they re-located. unfortunately sentiment prevented that from happening but it did feel there was an opportunity missed there in my view.

    We won on average a flag every 9 years since the start of WW2.

    Would be very surprised if he wasn't pushed.

    So Demonlanders.  What is Ben Brown worth? 
     

    Brown for MFC 2020 Pick 25* (ie. Hawks 2nd rounder) ?

    or 

    Brown & NMFC 2021 3rd round pick for
    MFC 2020 Pick Pick 25* ?

    I would say Brown for pick 25 would get it done, and get it done early.

    North might push for something extra though.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
