Ha.

They didn't even fit in a joke about snow, Range Rovers or cheese platters.

The Hun are showing some restraint! Who'd have thunk it?

Jake Niall on The Age's real footy podcast made a crack about Dees fans trading in their snow passes for a trip to WA and got shouted down very quickly by both Caro and (I think) Sam McClure.

    I fully retract my comment now. And wonder if I need to check in at the optometrist. Or if Mark Knight is just a shiffy cartoonist.

    The Hun are still complete muppets. 😆

    What is “shiffy” in American? 😁

    There was so much to unpack in that last two minutes, and unpack it we have. But I just wanted to make another point: how cool, calm and collected was Max in that final play?! First that mark, he made it look effortless. If you just saw that mark, not in the context of the moment, you wouldn’t think so much was at stake. His demeanour didn’t change one iota. Then a few steps into his run up the siren sounds, he stops, glances up at the shot clock, walking backwards to recommence his run up. He was so composed, so focussed, so calm. Unbelievably chill. What a legend!

    I’m sure I’m not the only one who hasn’t come down from the clouds, yet. (Not planning to anytime soon, either. 😊)

    An attempt to get around the censorship of the foul language I occasionally use. 😎

    Also, is American a language that has just been recognized? Or are you referring to American spelling or dialect?

    So, only one change to the composition of the eight (although not the order) whether teams play each other once or some teams are played twice. To my mind, this is sufficient evidence that the annual concern about the draw not being even isn't really warranted.

    Unless you’re Richmond or St Kilda. GWS are pretty happy with the draw though.

    At the end of the H & W season there only 2 teams (dogs and lions) with a greater percentage. A very tidy result for the Dees.

    Wow. You would decide Policy using a single year’s data. Worthy of the AFL.

    It was really funny listening to Gus and Max on their podcast about what went through their minds in the last 30 seconds or so of the game WCW. Worth a listen IMO.

    I just wanted to say what I loved most about post match with the great win against Geelong in Geelong (a very difficult challenge!) was the singing of the Club song of "It's a Grand Old Flag" with Mark "Choco" Williams involved.

    Did anyone else see that? He really song our song with great gusto! It was absolutely fantastic! The players love Mark "Choco" Williams and having him at the Club has been fantastic for the players, coaches and supporters alike!

    I am going to say that Mark "Choco" Williams is the recruit of the year for the Melbourne Demons! He may be an eccentric old fella but he loves football and is an incredible football person.

    Let's hope the Demons can keep him at the Club for many more years!

    It was his birthday apparently....

    I knew when I made that comment that I was being foolish for the exact reason you identified. You are quite right to have picked me up on it. I've allowed myself to be captured by my own confirmation bias!

    Now that I've admitted my error, I guess I won't be able to get a job with the AFL.

    I haven’t turned my mind to Saturday night yet still enjoying the after glow of that unbelievable last quarter and in particular that last 27 seconds. I have had a lot of issues in the way that our games have been called  this year but come the man come the moment and Hamish Mc called it in an inspirational way that will go down in history as one of the most significant plays of all time. Loved it.💕💕

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
