I certianly wouldn't be flying down to tassie for round 23.

    To suggest we are tanking is ludicrous, I believe Goody refers to it as ‘strategically losing’.

    The erroneous supposition is he understands  strategy !! Just saying ;)

    I would have said no re tanking until 6:30 last night, now I'm not sure. We are truly awful, but there is no accounting for those selections.

    Shortest Selection Stats. Melbourne have selected one of the shortest sides ever to contest an AFL game in recent times. They have named their three shortest players in Charlie Spargo , Jay Kennedy-Harris and newcomer Kyle Chandler all 173cm on the bench - believed to be the first time a club has ever named its three shortest players there. The average height of the Melbourne team is just 184.8cm.

    Who ever would have thought that O Mac being dropped would bring with it calls that we are tanking?  On Demonland of all places!!

    Other than Preuss (and I can't really understand why he wasn't picked to back up Max) who do we have available other than that bench.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
