A Reverse Bradbury?

Should have been well aware of what I was getting myself into. However, following Melbourne has given me untold resilience.

    I tell myself that I'm a great dad by bestowing upon my kids hard life lessons by forcing them to barrack for the Dees but I'm probably going to hell. Flame on.

    Back in the day my old man was looking after some business people from the US head office of his firm. It was suggested he take them to see this wonderful game ... it's football, but "Australian" rules!

    The Oz office lined it all up. And of course it was at the icy wasteland known as VFL park. A nondescript game between Footscray and South Melbourne. Or some other uninteresting combination, I can't remember.

    He got back home late that night and told us what went down. They all ended up as guests of Allen Aylett. In a corporate box of course, you ask? No, the poor buggers were outside exposed to the elements on the wooden seats. Not being forewarned about the supernatural weather at VFL park, they were not dressed for it either.

    They spent 3 or 4 hours shivering their [censored] off, bewildered and huddling together for warmth, waiting for the earliest possible opportunity to get away with Aylett in their ear the whole time on the finer points of a game they couldn't care less about and probably ended up hating.

    They would have had a better and more cultural experience standing on empty beer cans and wading through rivers of urine at Victoria Park or the Western Oval.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
