The Demons' good publicity wagon keeps rolling on... Neitz and Melbourne look to fire up in 2007.

Great story about the skipper as he nears his 3ooth game.

Yes, I'm fully aware that good PR doesn't necessarily translate into premierships but there's been a good feel about almost everything that's been aired or published in the media during the pre-season. Lots of positive articles about the stability and strenght of the club, its leadership and the players and we seem to be gaining the respect of the football world. No political scraps, few injuries, no discontented players or supporters. I hope the good news keeps coming when we start playing real games.

    After looking at the article picture for the 1st time with the guy on the left in a yellow suit then the 4 on the right with a standed firemans jacket i thaught oh it's nieta and the vice captains in that order (which would have ade sence) and being a bit blurry it even looked a bit that way. Not until i had read the caption did I realise it was Brock in the yellow suit and the rest of the leadership group... maybe the age is getting a bit ahread of it's self... where was it writen Nieta said ""Two years. I said last year I'd have two more and that would be it, so I'm sticking with that again this year," he said. "I might still be saying that when I'm 40.""? oh thats right the same article... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Great story about the goals Neitz and the team have for the coming year

    Although we are get exposure to the public, which is good for our profile, I hope that will all the expectation does not come back and bite us, and we play badly this year. But its highly unlikely.

    Bring on season 2007 now, cant wait for it to start :)

    Yes lot's of positive media at this time of year (for all clubs except Carlton) but I think we're pushing the Bohdan Bab?????? line a bit too much. Granted we need to be fitter than we have in the past but if I read another MFC article talking about his training regime! Thankfully this one didn't mention it.

    I'm going into the 07 season with NO expectations as I have been gutted in the past. I reckon they will finish the year 5th...some room if they do well...some more room if they blunder!

    Has anyone mentioned Aaron Davey signing on for another three years?

    That's really the type of news I want to read about the club and not another puff piece about how one of our players is training the house down, having the best preseason yet and looking like an Adonis.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
