Hore is a pretty handy mature aged intercept marking defender , will give us good coverage for the likes of Lever who is still 5 weeks away.

I know that's his reputation, but it didn't stand out to me that much in his JLT performances to me.

This will cost the teams with selfish players. Teams with team orientated players will benefit. 

Commentators on Thursday and Friday were noting that players on the ground were ignoring the bench to stay on the ground. I'm not sure if this was 100% accurate but if so it's not great from those individuals. 

I wouldn’t call it selfish, if a player is involved with the play on the ground he isn’t going to pull out and run off the ground. 

It’s just a reminder of what our game was like before Sheedy bought in his rotations in the early 90’s

All players must go hard when it is their turn. 

The Coach will now be very careful who he pulls to the bench late in every quarter, because there is a very high chance that they won’t get back on again

Remember when players took a 10 minute “rest” in the forward pocket...?

for when players don't follow coaches instructions.  The coach could have a big red button in the coaches box they could hit - would make great TV!

Roy and HG talked about it during the 2000 Olympics

When horses were walking sideways during the dressage events, it was all to do with how much voltage and current was being pumped into their nervous system!!

I reckon that old Barassi would have loved an electric shock button.  Might have saved his blood pressure and a few phone head pieces.

Think we might struggle to hit 40,000?

Last time we played 'em at the 'G we got just over 27k there.  Hopefully we can do a little better this time around.  It is Port after all though, that's always going to keep the numbers down a little.

In Bali for this one, surrounded by bogans with Bintang in hand at 10.30am, so really no different from when I’m in the MCC.

Cmon Demons!

    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
