Agree that this is grossly overused.

Some of these ???touched endlessly looking at the fingers and so often inconclusive.

In which case, use umpires call and stick with the on field decision. If there isn't enough evidence to overturn it, then it should stay as is

The president has said Richo has the boards' full support.

Usually means the decision has already been made and they are planning the execution.

It would be more believable if the prez came out and said, we can't sack him coz it would be too expensive.

Which might be right, he's contracted through the end of 2020. So this and two more seasons. Ouch.

Nothing says "AFL applying worlds best practice" like looking at grainy blurred lo res footage and using it to overturn a decision made by an actual human 2m from the event that they're reviewing.

In tandem with good development and a good culture. If players aren't coached properly, they don't win games every week and they certainly don't win the ultimate prize. 

Humanity has a real issue with viewing everything as black and white (I am still guilty of this, but am trying to change). It is never that simple. 

I know other things are needed, but my post was that List Management/Recruiting is the most important aspect.

You need the socks before you can pull them up.

Agreed. Ours was totally wrong 180 degrees 10 years ago

Any decent team would have put Adelaide away by now, they’re very ordinary. 

Who’s more bogan, Walker or Ballantyne?

Dockers are all over the Crows, they just have woeful disposal most of the time. The long bomb into their 50 is killing them.

Go Freo

Honestly, is Jenkins the biggest pretender of all time? 800k a year? Omg

Must be something about wearing #4 on your back

He’s such a putz. Just stands in the goalsquare looking for the easy goal. I wouldn’t want him on our list even if he was on rookie wages.

    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
