Steve has this view that if you're not attacking the club then you must be defending it. If you're not ranting and raving, you must be happy with how things are. I'm surprised anyone even bothers replying to him anymore tbh.

Please kill my account and block my internet address.  Thanks and go dees.

@steve_f

I don't think  @Nasher was referring to you.  I think he was referring to 'stevethemanjordan'

Would be sad to see you go, having been a member since 2005.

Looking forward our best players and the ones who will be guns are mainly under 23:

Oliver, Viney, Hogan, Petracca, Hunt

Even the next group other than Jones only just over 25

Gawn, Hibberd, Jetta, Jones

Compare to supposedly young Carlton best players

Cripps (young) Murphy, Kreuzer, Gibbs

Tigers

Dusty, Cotchin, Riewoldt, Rance

Geelong

Selwood, Dangerfield, Hawkins, Taylor

Port

Boak, Gray, Wines(23), 

There is hope.

We need to become ruthless and I think Goodwin getting a few more solid players in over the draft will be able to instil this into the Demons.

Don't get too worked up over this stuff. It's pointless now. Move on and focus on next year.

Just as we have said after almost every disappointing season for the last half century

Get over it! The result is fact now...

This will be a springboard to sustained success...

I think Jones and Lewis have responded well to the week and season that was...

The club needs to be ruthless in trade and drafting. Player development needs to step up. 

Possibly gain Lever (need to concrete our back 6). Outside running/goal kicking midfielders required (I believe Melksham can develop into a very good one). A ruck/forward who is deficult to match up on (trade in Mason Cox).

Do we trade our 2018 1st Round pick this season? 

will be??  certainly should be.  IF they really want it to happen and wouldn't just like it to.

Such an un-Melbournian trait though.

Challenge for Goodwin is to get this very basic fact through to an all too comfortable playing group

I'm worried that we didn't get a single Rising Star nomination in 2017.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
