OK, I'll start:

Kangas'll have the tusk ahead of them...

 

Wonder if the North game will be in Hobart and the Cup comes at the same time?

You may very well be on the money but I was under the impression no club will be travelling in week 1 in order to mitigate the risk of COVID.

Will it be a full-length game or a trunkated version?

There's only one way to beat North Melbourne

one bite at a time.

A really mammoth tusk. Or, if you will, a woolly mammoth tusk.

You're all dodging around something.

You know, that mammal in the room?

ivory-ly agree


Off season chat is SO much better when we are not reigning premiers.

At least there is actual speculation as to what the season ahead may bring.

There's lots of speculation on other threads, Faulty! But the cockiness of supremacy always threatens - as is the case here - to lead to frivolity.

For my part, I apologise.

Nah. Just joking.

Can't blame anyone for enjoying the moment, except for the 20 year olds who have no idea what "wait and hope" means.

My boy, who is 16, had to front up at primary school week after week in multiple seasons when we won 2-4 games and cop it from everyone in the school (except from the one other kid who was a dees supporter). 

I reckon even the 20 year olds would understand what wait and hope means and equally deserve to enjoy the moment.

Hawthorn and Collingwood is at Morwell on February 25. Guessing the rest will be announced soon.


I've heard a rumour that for the Melb v North scratch match we'll be playing for the Ben Brown Trophy which will look just like this but with the third finger upright, rather than the second.

That's the official Practice game not the second one that 2 Clubs are nominated to get together and sort out Tomes anDates. 
We play Carlton at Marvel in our Official Clash the date has been publicised by the AFL previously.

Wrong. Hawthorn play Richmond in Devonport in the official games on March 5.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
