On the highway with Uncle Bitter. White knuckle driving at its best. Mad Max-esque. If you see two empty seats in the throng of the Hill Stand you'll know we crashed and burned

So another game day in an exciting season. I am sure we all do different things on game day and I am wondering what others do.  This is my game day. A game in Canberra, so a lot of supporter

Bloody hell salem off injured. Can this guy not get a break. 

I reckon he broke his leg, so yes. 

This season has had as many downs as ups. Injuries being the biggest pain point.

Spoke too soon. What an awful goal to give up.

Looked like Sale broke his leg. He's had a horrible run with injuries and illness. Hope he is ok.

The intensity and effort today has been rubbish again after the first 10 minutes. Our decision making is just so poor. We run in a wave of 3 players, and instead of running it the whole way and using handballs, someone just bombs it long and we turn it over. Happens over and over and the coaches don't seem to be able to get them to do anything else the past 2 months.

That sealing goal against Collingwood on QB seems a while ago now..

I'll always love him for it. Right now though, I think even he wouldn't be surprised to see himself playing for casey.

What's with Mummy lining up Gawn in the third electing to bump rather than tackle collecting him in the head with his shoulder and the umpire calling play on? Should have been a free kick and 50 metre

Unfortuntely the dud coach doesnt reflect back on the past so we cant draw inspiration from that.

The big difference that's on show today is skill. We have too many players who even if they can get their hands on it, are unreliable or just not smart with their disposals. It has been great to bring in tough nuts and scrappers, but the likes of Harmes, ANB, Melksham and even Viney, are just not damaging enough, or damaging at all, with ball in hand.

This then results in turnovers, and away they go.

What is really sad is this club has been dishing up this sort of rubbish for all my 47 years. Till that changes we are pretenders.

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    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
