There's a sense of history about today - much like it was with the final round of 1987 when many of us travelled to Footscray and watched Melbourne's famous victory. Back then, we depended on Hawthorn

I was there that day as 9 yo Jack.  Still one of my favorite footy memories and pretty hard to beat from that perspective.   What great day of drama. Standing up the back of the hill, up aga

If by some miracle we do win, then you can call me out.

 

Believe me, its a million times harder watching it live when you see the efforts of those off screen.

No no, not calling you out at all. Agree that we have been woeful all day (up until a few minutes ago)

Every point and goal is important in this final quarter. We have so much to play for. Maybe we even win it. Wouldn't that be nice?

We need a massive effort last quarter.

I think that Pedders' act sparked us somewhat.

How often has that happened? Heart and soul player. One of our only true leaders over the age of 24.

    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

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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded.
