Thanks Ben for all your hard work. The amount of content that you provided for both the men's and women's team was incredible.

    Whilst there’s room for it - fixture announcements, contract extensions etc - I like that our socials haven’t descended in to a mess of bad memes and attempted edgy content. 

    Our media content reflects our brand and the interviews with players reflect a level of trust and respect. Kudos to Ben.

    There was a new person taking photos out on the field at training and their outfit alone made me a little nervous. But I don’t want to judge prematurely. 

    Teams give so little to traditional media these days (and I don’t blame them), which means the in house media are really important for how we connect with the team.

    A quiet word in their ear, one of you track watchers? A link to a Benny highlight* reel, perhaps? (* noting, never limelight)

    No word yet on 'Bursty'? Person? Place? Club?

    Damn! Thanks for all your work Gibby, as a nuffy living overseas I followed the club vicariously through you. Gonna be missed.

    Nice little thankyou to Ben at the end of Kate H's interview with him at the B&F, on the Club site.

    She speaks a truth.

    Thanks so much for your work Gibbo, you came at a time when this area needed a lift and less BS needed to be asked in interviews with our players. All the best with your next step.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
