Didn't hear him if he was on but I can imagine what he would have said based on the interviews of every other football person I've heard during this pre-season and previous ones. Yeah, doing real well, fitter than ever, confident about the coming season, can't wait for the action to start, we're a real chance and training's been the best this pre-season since I came to the club. And the signature tune... "everybody's training the house down!

What do u expect at this time of the year there meant to be talking up the team not saying "we're not training hard enough" or " I think we could repeat the dissapointing end as last year" There here to give us false hope and give us the impression we are gonna tear every1 up!! (especially carlton)

 

I heard it, don't remember too much, I'll see how I go

He doesn't read the papers, watch TV, etc, not really into the hype about him being the next captain (but he didn't say he didn't want to do it either). Outside footy he wants to do a plumbing apprenticeship, 'cos he was no good sitting at a desk at school. He had to give up an an apprenticeship opportunity because of footy. The 3AW guys said he probably won't need to worry about it too much.

He said he is not into talking, just doing. He thinks Demons should be be having a crack at Top 4 this year, seemed fairly bullish on this. He menitioned Batram, Bate, Jones as good up and comers and also Dunn who is working really hard. Also mentioned Rick Petterd as looking the goods.

Afterwards they were talking about him (Gerard and Dwayne) like he was the best thing since sliced bread, close to all-Australian last year and a big chance this year. They said he could be the best Dees palyer in the past 40 years - that's a big wrap.

They asked about his love life and he said he was shopping around a bit which I thought was good form.

They talked about the Pilates they do in 50 degrees and how hard it is. Suggested they could try this on Sunday at the family day as it will be super HOT. He is looking foirwad to playing footy now as training has been a slog.

That's about all I can remember. I'm sure there was more but it was more than 24 hours ago and my short term memory is shot.

Outside footy he wants to do a plumbing apprenticeship, 'cos he was no good sitting at a desk at school. He had to give up an an apprenticeship opportunity because of footy.

That's another thing I like about him - the willingness to make enormous sacrifices for his footy team ;).

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
