So the new successful structure is 2 ruckmen and a tall forward line. 

And thank god. I hope this "real footy" thing takes off instead of pressure madness because I love the way West Coast play. They smacked us last week too, so to see them win takes the edge off a bit.

The last 3 premierships have been won by a Clarkson protege.  The previous 3 by Clarkson himself. 

Not only is Clarkson a master coach he is a master at training coaches.  Reckon he wore a wry smile on the siren.

They had a shot McGuires face after the game. It was wonderful. After hearing him go on all week about the filth I was glad at the result.

We're going to just have to break that run then ;)

How's the Collingwood cheer squad feeling right now about that banner...

Actually genuinely feel sorry for them with that, no bigger day that it could’ve gone wrong for them.

Was always on the cards given the way they play. Still didn’t stop me paying out on eagles supporters during the first quarter. 

The Eagles were tiring too, around that same time.

They were 5 goals up. That's some Collywobbles...

First quarter quick blitz, then it settled down. 

Meth Coke were garbage in the first 20 minutes

And now delisted. ?

Probably one of the footy department's few missteps over the last few years. Still, the same draft they brilliantly traded up to secure Oliver before Parish, so these things work out in the end. 

How do you figure that.  We got it right.

Who has the last laugh? Kennedy or Judd?

We got the trade up to get Oliver right but Howe for Kennedy wrong. That’s what he’s saying.

The Pies seem to have this history of getting great deals from us, can we please turn one back around on the them!

Anyway for now the tears of the Collingwood players will do nicely!

Deserved winners, were the team who held their form most consistently through the year. Makes getting some extra marking power over the off season a smart move for the Dees. 

Yes, thought their overall marking power was the difference

Really thought I'd be ambivalent today but soon as the pies got ahead my hatred for them kicked in.

I really hoped they'd lose a close one and it all came true.

That eagles team song is an abomination.

Hope we get to sing a real song next year.

Yes. That song is awful

Hopefully those who doubt we need a Steven May will have seen Kennedy’s influence in the GF and understand why we need a true gorilla-minder in our back six.

I know what hes saying... what I'm saying is, to change a culture out, to build a fresh one,,,  a club has to cut strings with many experienced players... to change things.

I put Howe in that basket.  No slight on Howe...  but it was a plus for us, to show balls to start making hard decisions.  The club had to grow its own balls, instead of leaning on the MCG, and all that stuff.

 

It had to again when we rid ourselves of the less committed types, who weren't goers... to the displeasure of many supporters.  But we did, and look at the new-way we attack the contests, in this 2018 year.

... it's a breath of fresh air in the lungs of a stuffy old Mfclub.

Bucks is the only part of the Filth I like.

He's a class act 'chook'...pity he has to coach Coliingwood.

Taking the time to console the cheer squad members before the game is the measure of the man.

    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
