If he can get MFC over the line every week for his old mate Goody, he's my kind of guy........

Perfect match. I never listen to them anyway. Can never forgive him for what he did to the game.

Apparently MMM have Dank doing the medical reports from boundary side.

They tried to get Bomber Thompson, but he was too busy sniffing the boundary line

The wish of the AFL and broadcasters to have Hird involved in the game is obvious to all. 

Yes, I know forgiveness is an important aspect of our lives and part of the moral underpinning of society, however it's a bit rich when you welcome back someone that has been involved in activity that has deliberately broken the governing rules of sport and its moral code. "Cheating" is as bad as it gets. 

However, if Wayne Carey can return to the game as a respected commentator after his activities, anything is possible.

I suppose, it just highlights that commercial interests are paramount. Sadly, it is also proof that the ethical and moral standards of footy and all sports have declined.

I actually can't believe he would want to step back into the game in any form.  if the media played it low key it would be one thing but they'll intro him as the superstar blah blah

he set the bombers back almost 10 years so ill always thank him for that

Glassing a woman in the face is a badge of honour in the AFL boys club.

It's a wee bit like having Lance Armstrong come and do international commentary on the  Le Tour de France.  not on.

... sorry about the pee in a bottle irony.

You’d think he’d want to stay clear of all things AFL including the football media after what he went through (including an attempted suicide). Massive narcissist.

I supppse the unrepentant narcissist sees it as one step on the way back to coaching. 

Yes, forgiveness is important but repentance must come first.  And I do t mean saying “sorry ..... that I was caught”.

    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

    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
