The comments about Isaac Smith regretting going to Jee-long instead of Melbourne didn't age well.

2022 ... premiership medal ... Norm Smith medal.

He was absolutely brilliant in the 2022 GF and he would’ve been such an asset for us on the non Langdon wing last year.

Our club picking up Lever rather than this tool showcases why we will get a premiership before those muppets

Doesn't the club have a wine sponsor? Surely a prize is in order because this post has aged superbly.

(Tool in question was Stringer)

The capital they were getting was in the 100's of millions and company was valued in the same range. I would suggest he has sold a few of those shares along the way when they were flying and he is still very well off after a 1 mill fine ... just me guessing

The knocks on Joel as a player are a bit unwarranted IMHO.  Yeah, he wasn't any superstar, but I generally thought he was a pretty honest player who had a fair dinkum crack.  Can't comment too much on the honesty side of his business dealings, but it almost seems like ASIC etc going after a soft target.  Just my perception based on bits and pieces of reporting over the years, but I think some of the multinationals and even the Trumps, Zuckerbergs and Musks of this world probably regularly deal in more deceptive behaviour with intent, but are just better armed with expensive lawyers, better at covering their tracks and perhaps more cunning and better liars.

Am I the only who has no idea what this means? At the time of writing, two people have "Liked" the comment, so it must mean something to someone.

What occurred at Nant was outside of ASIC’s charter.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
