Lifetime ban for these two for touching hands. Hope they sanitised afterwards ?

Lever is so well spoken. Future captain written all over him. Hard to believe how young he still is.

Good interview, but i put that down to the fact that Jake is such a good media performer. The stand out part for me is from 9:20 mins in where he said we didnt play the Melbourne way in round 1. You couldnt possibly be less accurate. The problem was we played EXACTLY the "Melbourne way". Win from the bounce and bomb it long . The whole league knows that is what we do. With the incredible quality of West Cokes backline that was never going to work. In fact it failed practically every match last year as well.

The "Melbourne way" he talks about is not the way we play.

Change or keep losing matches we shouldn't.

Let's be positive and assume that he meant there is a new Melbourne way but we slipped into old habits and din't play the Melb way.

Just a question , Sue, if we didn't play the way that we are supposed to, what was different that happened after Qtr time? 

Because we actually kept with them, didn't we, for the rest of the game score wise, which unfortunately i didn't see?

Uhm he did talk about the “connection” to forwards so they know the “Melbourne way” they want to play (won the contest and connect to the forwards) but they played the “Melbourne way” they have played for so many years besides 1 under Goodwin.

    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
