I opened facebook today and saw a post from Fox Footy (below) plugging the Fox Footy Channel. Nothing earth shattering here but I felt a little bit of pride at seeing a Melbourne player/jumper as the image to sell it. In the past decade we would not have seen a Dees jumper to sell anything. Are we slowly becoming relevant again? Is the social media intern at Fox Footy a Dees supporter? Is someone going to get fired for not putting a Richmond, Essendon or Collingwood mug up there. Jack sells.

Having thought about this for a minute and I don't know if this is entirely possible and it might even be impossible for any of us to test this out but there is the slight possibilities that the Facebook algorithm knowing that I'm a Demon tragic placed a Viney placeholder image on there in order to sell just to me and for all I know my colleague in the next office is writing on a Hawks message board complaining that they used that old photo of Cyril again and perhaps they should update it.

Shhh. I think the Facebook bots are listening in on my thoughts.

Nope. This is your Facebook algorithm, mate.

That said, if we're sitting pretty inside the 8 towards the back end of the season, I reckon a few more people will get into us. That's always the sign of relevance for me.

Explains why the picture I've got with mine is of Stormy Daniels.

Regardless of whether or not Facebook are stalking us, I do feel we’re becoming more relevant, the football public rate our list and are expecting big things from us this season. Second is the first loser. 

Shake 'n' Bake baby.

When we get to this level of relevance I'll be happy

Unbelievable stat that the dees lost only six games at the MCG in seven seasons between 1954 - 1960.

Whatever the pros and cons of the parking ban in Yarra Park, at least we are in 2 of the 5 blockbuster games at the G during H&A where the parking ban applies. A green shoot of relevance, I guess.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
