Well deserved. I was sitting in the table with his parents and they were in tears.

The web stream keeps freezing - anyone else having dramas?

Yes. And I have a fast fibre as well.

Typical for anything in terms of video that comes through AFL.

You mean when our mids kick blind high bombs on his head and force him to compete with three opponents from a standing start rather than opening their eyes and trying to find a free target or give him something to lead to? 

no, don't mean that at all smart a&*#e!

I said a few years ago that I really wanted Nathan Jones to stop winning B&Fs, not because I didn't like him, but because if he kept doing it, it would be an indication that the club had not advanced.  I'm absolutely thrilled that he's no longer the run-away winner every year and we're seeing the young guys stepping up to lead the club.

Gus didnt get in the top 5, wow.

fantastic second half of the year, but missed a few early and did hit top form until later in the year. Hopefully it drives him to even greater heights next year!

How did Jones get 4th? Surely there have been more higher contributors then Jones then 3 players this year...

Jones sets an example by playing the way the coaches want the team to play.  Some of the things that really annoy me about his play are team rules that he is making a point of following, like his habit of snatching the loose ball and playing on when a teammate gets a free kick.

Surely bombing the ball into the 50 time and time again is not part of the team play. Or jogging 20m off contests.

Was anyone else frustrated watching Collingwood kick to Mason Cox during the prelim? I was frustrated the whole time, 'why don't they kick it like that to Hogan' with a few expletives thrown in. 

Maybe we should follow the Colonwood morons who chant “USA USA” and chant “WA WA WA” 

Makes about as much sense ... in fact more sense.

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. 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
