Would the love be so ardent if we had lost all 4 games and Oliver decided not to re-sign. 

Sorry Old Fart but it is amazing to read the accolades and love after a few wins. They better keep winning. 

Ernest, I was a fervent supporter throughout our 'glory years' and my love for the Club has not diminished one iota during our extensive periods in the 'wilderness'.  I fully understand your pragmatism, but I intend to ride the current 'ripple (not wave) of success' for however long it lasts.  They have been too few and far between for me to give up now!.

I have never been 100% convinced that Oliver has the team-first mentality to take us to a premiership. My mind has changed. To go all-in and sign so early in a season when we promise something but haven't delivered yet shows he not only wants us to get there but is willing to bet his career on it. Lovely.

I know Clarry, not super close but enough to know him

I can’t ever see him leaving this club, he loves the club and loves the boys and I can’t see that ever changing

Beautifully stated my friend. 

Love the passion and we should all ride the ripple for as long as it lasts.

A mate texted saying that clarry had resigned and i was ready to watch clayton highlights with a bucket of ice cream. 

Glad it was just a grammatical error, so happy he's sticking around. 

Go Dees!

Fantastic news, great stuff from Clarry. Getting big names early will help to stave off any media speculation and the boys can focus on what happens on the field. 

You’re a gem Clarry!!!!

Has been spoken too, i am lead to believe 

No idea how the conversation went

What are you intimating here? That we're going to replace Pert already with Brian Cook? What's the thinking?

Wasn't Cook interviewed the other week saying he's stepping away from the Cats at the end of the year and retiring

Yep, December this year he’s leaving Geelong after announcing his retirement less than two weeks ago. 
I’d find it odd if he’d committed to a role at the MFC.

So... when does the MFCSS kick in about him leaving as a free agent at the end of 2023 kick in?

In 2023.

But if he’s taking 3 premiership medallions with him, he has my blessing.

    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
