Storm are the best club in Aus. They are constantly successful in a state that is not for their code. Most years they lose great players and they do not miss a beat.

Think of who they have lost in the last 10 years and how well they have remained.

Great onfield success but have not really developed a following in Melbourne....almost no media coverage

Understandable perhaps but a lesson for the AFL

interesting article here on the role of ANZ Stadium in NRL.......seems that no one likes it

They have a big following in Melbourne.

And all the salary cap breaches.

Pleasure to hear Gus Gould having to praise the Storm...it must really be hurting him.

I'm surprised he didn't trot out the 'bleak city' jibe.  He's done that before.

I flew up to the grand final and it was so nice to sit there and watch your team win a premiership.  They are a phenomenal team. Bellamy is the best sporting coach in Australia. 

Hopefully one day i can celebrate a demons victory

He's probably right then.

Anyone associated with the NSW Blues would know bleak when they saw it.

A big storm fan. Go to quite a few games. They have a serious "no nonsense" approach. And they are fortunate to have sensational leadership.  

Cameron Smith - probably the best captain in any code in Australia.

    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
