The freehold land on which the Daily Planet is located was sold last year. I have a feeling that the award winning brothel is soon going to go the way of the Gatwick.

Don't tell me Scott Cam and the Block are going to be doing a "reality" show there.

Happy with Hogan for May + Kolo trade

Agree. Two for one normally wins out particularly of the class of May and KK. Let's forget about Hogan and look forward to our team performing each week with all giving 110%

GOT Pick 6 and Pick 23 — GAVE AWAY Jesse Hogan and Pick 65

GOT Steven May and Kade Kolodjashnij — GAVE AWAY Pick 6

27. Melbourne - Thomas Sparrow, midfielder (South Adelaide) which was pick 23 before a downgrade.

Therefore May, KK and Sparrow for Jesse and 65.  All 3 could be in our best 22 some time this year.

Remember this guy?

 

“The 2015 NAB AFL Rising Star has impressed during recent match simulation, particularly when working his opponent up the ground and doubling back to find space”

If he relies on this method to kick goals at Freo he is in for a tough year.

Used to be a contested marking beast in his first year or so. Remember the day he towelled up Rance? What happened to that aspect of his game? Was he found out or did he lose his mojo?

For some reason I haven't understood, he lost his timing, seemed to go to early, confused the hell out of me watching. He certainly did the work leading.

He stopped leading to the ball carrier and always wanted the ball sat on his head.

I recon it also had a fair bit to do with this crap game style that so many teams have adopted of putting every player into the 50m arc, choking up the ground to the max and double/tripple teaming key forwards.  Not enough clean one on one footy these days to allow many contested marks. 

Hopefully 6-6-6 (the Demonic rule) provides a bit more space and opportunity for Tommy, Joel Smith, Weid, Trac, Hannan and Max/Preuss (the Greuss) to dominate our forward 50 this year, whilst Maysy, Frosty, Hibbo, Jetta, Freitch and Oscar can limit our oppositions opertunities and totally control our back 50 this year.

Simply roll someone across into this space.  If they bring their opponent, you make an overcrowded choke point.  Or you play someone who can run with him and give him no time when he gets it.  He struggles from 45+ (with a couple of exceptions), so push him right out and give him no space in 0-35m.

He has turned into a small forward crumber.

    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

    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
