    Why didn't you do a global word replace,  Brisbane<-Melbourne, Hodge<-Lewis, Fages<-Goody, Neale<-May, Lyons<-KK...

    I’m happy the hype has shifted towards team performance and away from our next draft pick,

    Footy is footy. It will talk for itself.

    Expectations ? Well, surely they're high and not without merit.

    Personally...no flag this year or next....I'd be devastated!!! ?????

    In reality... disappointed. It's about as palpable as ever

    Go Dees

    Perhaps you are not familiar with some of DV8's finer work...

    For more information, see his thread on Don Pyke's death stare and how he could alleviate his stress by, and I paraphrase here, 'smoking a few cones'.

    You are going to be disappointed this year bb. However 2020 is when we will take the competition by the scruff of the neck and shake lose a flag.

    • 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.
