    1. Spent two weeks in Taiwan and, among other things, did a presentation about Australia to a bunch of kids studying English in a public high school

    2. Drove from Sydney to Melbourne via the coastal route down the Princes Highway and spent a couple of weeks catching up with friends.

    3. Took my son to Tokyo for a couple of weeks and wandered around taking photographs and eating.

    Uncle @Bitter but optimistic I'm sure you could show these normies a thing or two on how to spend an off season.

    1) Ran a full marathon (in October) and a half last week

    2) Read both the Great Gatsby and the Brothers Karamazov

    3) Started a biological course offered by MIT which I had to drop out from due to work

    1. Welcomed a beautiful baby girl (our first) into the world.
    (Seems there might have been a few new additions for Demonlanders over the pre/post season?)

    2. Avoided work at all costs and managed to get away with it (so far).

    3. Made a real effort but struggled to enjoy the cricket this Summer.

    Tricky one but I’m pretty sure people who watch snooker don’t get laid. So I reckon you didn’t watch snooker.

    very impressed that you all timed it so well for the births to be in the off season. Can only imagine the logistics involved!

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
