I haven't seen any images on social media or in the mainstream media of any mad monday demons celebrations so perhaps they were cautioned not to put it out there.

Well at least they had the decency to keep it low key and in house. 

How bad does it look from Gold Coast parading around like there celebrating a terrific season. Absolutely embarrassing, they don't give a rats toss bag up there.

    Saw on ch7 news tonight they had wacky wednesday where they had to dress up as cricketer's. Why does everyone have to dress up now. I know it's a bit of fun but can't they just go somewhere and dress normally? 

    Geelong was the club that did the dress ups really well and now everyone is trying to copy. 

    Anyway Im sure Maxy kept him self nice ahead of tonights AA awards.

    Bit of fun / team bonding after a long year, probably much needed.

    Dressing up as Aussie cricketers?

    Sharing the skills and feelings of snatching defeat from the very jaws of victory?

    How MFC.

    honestly... I'd take just a plan B with our coaching form this year. 

    If you we're a plan you would be Plan 0

    The idea of dressing up was a deliberate plan to divert players from using Mad Monday purely as an exercise in getting heavily inebriated with all the risks to the club that such behaviour entails. And, largely, it's worked.

    If I were a footballer, I'd hate the very idea of a Mad Monday. But I'm not a footballer; I haven't had to watch what I eat and drink for the best part of 10 months and I don't have a perenially sore body to go with it. And I see Kane Cornes doesn't like it...so I'm very happy for our players to have a Mad Monday or Wacky Wednesday if that's what they want. Irrespective of the result of the season they've earned the right.

    Anyone who says the boys don't deserve a mad Monday are a-holes of the highest order. 

    Yes, we didn't get many results this year - but these blokes work incredibly hard all year, and to say they don't deserve to blow off some steam at the end of the year and have a laugh is reserved only for those who think the worlds revolves around them. 

    You've never had a bad year in your career? Maybe you should exclude yourself from the end of year party when the boss puts his corporate credit card on the bar when you do.

    Let it out boys, have fun, big summer ahead.

    Nothing wrong with the players meeting up and having a few quite beers after a long season they are entitled to that.

    Pleasing to hear without all the cross dressing antics and instgram pics splattered across every social media platform.

    Max was running laps of New York 2 years ago during his break which led to his amazing 2018.

    Him cycling around Europe might do equally as good.

    No Jumbo. We the Members need a break and regroup. 

    The Players can start with Burgess on Sunday morning as far as i am concerned. 

    2019 was completely wasted 

    Zurich and Jaguar must be thrilled

    Great points.

    Some harsh truths need to be shared with the players.

    Was going to add some thoughts but needed to be separated from previous response.

    These are young blokes who have been insulated from a lot of reality. That's fine, but they need to aware of their fortunate position, the challenges included and their responsibilities.

    They are a young and talented group who have shown that they can play outstanding passages. They must now sustain their efforts, reward their supporters including sponsors and realise their potential.

    They must play as a group and give 100% all the time, aware that they will be replaced by someone in the squad who will replace them if they do or can not. This should not be seen as threatening but a fact to insure their own success.

    Its a challenge for the coach to use the whole squad and come up with structures or patterns that use all the squad at appropriate times. Training should be at a tempo and intensity so that the structures and patterns are instinctive in every player.  

    I would like to see a retention of "chaos ball" but add "churn" where players constantly revolve around both creating space and covering opponents. Not matched against a specific player Or defending space but creating confusion in opponents by moving to and covering opportunities. This should be instinctive and can only work by knowing your teammates  capabilities intimately. Know who is faster or slower than their opponent, who will kick it short or long, who will handpass , who will turn, be flexible through knowledge of each other, support each other and reap team results.

    Thats all for now.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
