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.

    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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
