The venue itself is a great place to watch a match, the crowd is a different story, but this time you get to be the smug premiership winning wnker supporter, how good.

I agree its a great venue Cards albeit a tad blustery and hard to watch if there's a westerly blowing.  Most of the game played on the Middleborough Road wing/flanks if there is one.

So are you suggesting we put on all our 'premiers' gear and go!??  I can hear the banter now.... "so you've won one in how bloody long and you now reckon you're hot [censored] huh!?" 😄

Feel for Smith.  He can't take a trick.  Another medium term injury.  8-10 weeks is huge.

Smith out for 8-10 weeks, unlucky lad. Had a few too many drinks at the game on Saturday and not sure how it happened.  Can someone clarify?

Was in the third quarter on the members' wing. He was pushing for a spoil/mark, from memory, landed a bit awkwardly and then reached down for his ankle. That was that, I think.

Thanks just saw it in the Video Link above. Feel for Joel, out of contract at the end of the season too - poor fella

I preferred Joel Smith over Tomlinson as he is quicker and can handle guys on the lead better. Probably makes Jayden Hunt more important because we need someone who can rebound.

Smith can't take a trick, his body doesn't seem to be capable of playing consistent AFL football. He is always injured. Poor guy.

I wonder what is going on with Hibbo. Is he done with that calf do we think?

Hibbo looked really good in the practice match against North Jaded, calf injuries seem tricky. Initially it was two weeks and now we’re almost a third of the way through and he’s still struggling with it. Would love to see him back out there even if it’s with Casey.

It seems to me calf injuries are very tricky when the player in question is over 30. Having said that, I suspect a fully fit Hibberd would struggle to break into this side at the moment anyway.

He's played four games in a row once (Rounds 15-18 in 2020).

That is the one and only time he has strung more than three games in a row together. He's managed three a few times, including Rounds 1-3 this year.

I’d say you initially thought you’d keep it to just one or two tins, but then got caught up in a round system with your mates. By half-time there was really no turning back plus - look out - Jono’s just pulled out a cheeky hip flask of Jamesons, fellas…

    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

    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
