Thanks John

i have seen Rohan talking about this on Twitter. 
2 voices that are not really suited for radio, but they do understand the game better than most

Where does Fine reside now?

He used to be at The Village Belle Hotel, probably more than he should have been. 
Is he back on Radio?

He's not..but he should be. Whether you agreed or disagreed with him, it was listenable. The post-game tripe SEN has on now is gobsmackingly bad.

Woeful and Damien Whoever, following, is mindnumbing. I listened a couple of weeks ago then again Thursday night  (yes, mistake)and the callers, devoid of any knowlege or charisma, were a congo -line of loud-mouthed halfwits. And they don't get cut off. A license to bore me specifically, given I surely must have been the only listener. Then there's an ad for a funeral company. If ever there was a sign to stop listening, that was it.

Adelaide season officially over.

Will be interesting to see if the Adelaide media and followers give them a pass due to the bubble.

Freo and WCE just scraping out of the Qld bubble.

If we had not given them the win in Round 1 WC would be on very shaky ground. I can now see them winning the next 4 or 5 in Perth

considering how the Media said saints so good , what happened today ?

Andrew Brayshaw played a very good game. Helped drag Freo up to win. Would have been a very handy addition if we’d had the chance to grab him.  At 20, he’s still developing but showing signs of a top class mid.

Ratts will be a good Coach, don’t slash your wrists over my comments 

Goodwin has stagnated for 18 months

I actually fully agree; I've seriously respected Ratten ever since he got the best out of our midfield waaaaaay back in a past era, and with a Carlton-supporting brother I'm very aware of how much he got out of a Blue's unit that was not as good as (ahem) Malthouse convinced the Blue's board it was.

I would have preferred Ratten as the Roos successor and I think St Kilda are over-achieving with him at the helm at the moment.  Although, I must confess I have long believed St Kilda has been right on the edge of being a total basket case and that Richardson did well to get even the couple of respectable seasons out of him that he did.

Stagnated for 18 months is about as neat a summary of Goodwin/Melbourne as you can get.

I hope I didn't come across as mocking the original comment - I was just having a laugh and enjoying the spectacle of what a fickle and unpredictable game our game can be, at it's best.

I wasn’t sure Goffy tbh

I hope Simon gets his act together, but if we lose the next two games, i think he is in real trouble. 
 

do i think he will make it?

Genuinely not sure. The Players effort is still there...

today is massive for him and although it's cliche it is one week at a time 

good to see that he's made some changes to the side and sees some of the things we miss - it's more so the people around him that might not be good enough. Goody can be a great coach Mon - Fri, but come game day and when the heat is on you want to be surrounded by those who see the game and can make in game adjustments. 

win this game, put it in the book then move on to next week.

I think there's a glitch on the AFL site.  I keep opening the 'live games' tab and the Giants v Power game comes up.

At least as a courtesy to the rest of us they could rename it 'currently occurring' because 'live' implies some kind of pulse and volition.

Meanwhile, only two other games to wait on and we're a good chance of being the highest scoring team of the round.  If the results of those two games go right we'll be out of the bottom four despite having a game in hand.

I've got it on TV while I get sunday-stuff done at home, just heard the commentators say at half time 'every score this game has been from a turnover'.

If that is 1st vs 7th, we're definitely in with a shot this year!

Swans tigers - heeney clearly gets hit in the head after his kicked, should’ve been downfield and a report. 

BT - doesn’t look like he got his in the head.

My god these muppets are so so stupid. They get paid to be so so stupid and completely miss obvious things.

Is it just me or is anyone else sick of the following line from the commentators:

”How good is it to have a crowd here today”.

Way to keep reminding Victorians that they a) Can’t go to the footy and b) Can’t do anything.

    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
