I like that Roosy identifies as a Melbourne supporter still. I heard him say it to Iron Mike and he still says it.

I assume when his 'boys' pass through the club, he will go back to being a Swan and I wouldn't begrudge him that.

I'm 100% behind Roos - think he is on the money. I would love to see us spending more money in the areas of injury prevention and management. However, you cant spend what you dont have -so our big danger would be a horror run of injuries. I look forward to us growing our memberships and average crowds then things will change - then we are less in the hands of injuries.

Paul Roos help to build a strong foundation for us to be successful in the near future and for that l forever thank him. Hope your a Demon supporter for life.

Who cares? So was Barassi. But I'd listen to them, both, any day ahead of what we get in the media today.

I'm not picky when it comes to commentators, i'm more focused on the game and the commentary is background noise.

I hate to break it to you but I'll be at the game too (without my equipment). Although I could stream live from my phone but I'd be too nervous. Perhaps I'll do the last quarter when we're 48 points up at 3/4 quarter time. Oops we've blown lead like that in the past.

Yep. There’s hardly any commentators left. Most of them have turned into “Special Comments” and it’s terrible listening.

Adam Papalia and Brenton Speed seem a tad refreshing, those two actually call the game.

When she was 5, my niece 'wrote a book' about going to the football with me. 

The only thing I say in the book is "Oh no, oh no, oh no" over and over again on every page, which is pretty much what you'd get if I was calling the game.

I'd be out of breath from pacing back and forth. Being a Melbourne fan is not good for the ticker despite the added exercise from the pacing. 

Can't we just destroy teams every week so I can enjoy the game. Is that too much to ask.

No expletives? No complaining at umpiring decision? No justification for Demons players getting all the votes 3,2,1 win, loss ( which obviously we will never have to consider) or draw? Maybe when the opposition do get a touch we have our own catch cry  "Oh no, oh no, oh no"

Yeah - if my son had to write a book about our time at the footy, it would probably be called “Oh, that’s bull$h!t!!”

Paul (and all those other scribes), please don't talk us up.

Broken expectations have almost killed me over recent seasons.

If we make finals fine, anything short of that, forget it.

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
