    Just a note on training

    They have a grappling/wrestling/tackling coach, he used to appear maybe one session a week if that

    He is there every session at the moment, obviously another area of weakness they have identified

    Just an interesting fact I learnt yesterday

    The AFL now has 1400 yes 1400 accredited 'journalists' on its books

    It has long been known within us media types that AFL journalists outnumber all other journalist types in Oz.  It’s an indictment in the media landscape.  Proper investigative journalism is thwarted by big media to allow the powers that be escape accountability.

    so 2 journos for every listed player (18 x 44 = 792).......no wonder media is overflowing with carp

    They hand out 1400 media passes so they can revoke them if they don't like the coverage.

    But the amount of full time journos covering the game is probably declining. Channel 7 and AFL media give it a fair go, but otherwise I'm sure the age and the HS don't cover the game like they used to.

    Houses still standing in the background of that last pic. Obviously not training hard enough.

    They are Collingwood houses..... ours have already been converted to parkland to train on.

    I think there's no coincidence that our strong run at the end of 18 started around the time AVB got going.

    I'd like to see Dusty try the "don't argue" on AVB on ANZAC Eve.

    Did you notice if Petty was training with the forwards or backs mate?

    To cover the play of 720 players, almost  2 " journalists" ( I use that term loosely ) for every player.

    Do they pay a fee to be accredited ? Is the only reason I could see for having that many.

    He is in rehab at the moment, supposedly out of there in 1 or 2 weeks

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
