Great to see

I hope someone is looking after our oral and now visual history.

Every player from the 2021 premiership side should have their story of the day recorded plus the coaches of course. Like archives they can restrict their publication for say ten years but imagine a detailed interview with Norm Smith and Ron from 1964... not to mention a follow up in 1966

    I loved this. Great idea for a series. Look forward to the next eps.

    How lucky are we to have this man as our captain. The best captain in the AFL hands down.
    Not just a genuine superstar, but the most empathetic, down to earth, relatable and likable character in the game. You would just love to play with him and for him.

    I’d love this. Especially grand final day video recordings of the bench and coaches box. Lock it away for a decade or two (or three) and release it in full. Would be incredible to see how the whole process works whilst watching the game.

    Wow.  That was just so well done.  We are so fortunate to have had these two as captains and of course as players.

    That was a strange - video listening to a recount of an injury. I get the focus was mindset but still it was strange to talk about that specific moment and not something else that the average joe can relate to.

    On the day Kozzi signs on, another stunning example of our ‘culture’. Authentic and brilliant from Max and Garry.

    Okay, in 2021 the players were isolated and in a bubble and they managed to win the big one.  They did it. They all deserved it, the players, the footy department. A few lucky supporters got over there to see it happen.

    The plan for the following year was that the players wanted to do it again back at the G for their family, friends and fans back home. Admirable, but for various reasons, did not manage to pull it off.

    Change in plans. Forget the fans. Big Max wants to do it for his dad and family. I want the players to see this clip and to do it for Max. What an incredible inspirational leader.  With the right mindset they can beat anyone.

    Everyone else will just come along for the ride. All aboard!

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
