I haven't heard any other group of supporters talk up Hunter like they did.

 

Not even our supporters ☹️
 

Anyways I think it’s psychological. They probably wouldn’t talk him up so much were he not suspended this week. They’re trying to convince themselves that he’s a way bigger out for us than he is, and therefore there’s one less ‘superstar’ to worry about. Delusional [censored]-ers

    Last week he absolutely was in our best players but personally I don’t think he is critical to our team. I really hope we see Rivers, Bowey or Salem given time on the wing this weekend.

    I assume it's Neil Erasmus. Pick 10 in the 2021 draft. Listed as 190cm but he's just a kid, Trac would destroy him.

    I also wish luck to anyone trying to rough up Steven May...

    Must be the Griffin Logue of this year's game.

    I think they're stupid.

    Plus they have bigger things to worry about like the name of their home base.

    More fun facts about Fred Fanning:

    -  His 97 goals that year were the highest of any Melbourne player before or since.

    -  The game where he kicked 18 was the last game of the season in 1947.

    -  His next game was for Hamilton in the Western District League where he was offered a coaching position for an amount of money four times his VFL pay and Melbourne couldn't/wouldn't match it.

    -  He kicked 22 goals in one of his games for Hamilton.

    My old man played with him for Hamilton (and against him later when Fanning moved to Coleraine).

    Said he was very tough but not as good a footballer as Bill Barham who was father of Bill and Jamie who both played a few games for Melbourne and also Ricky Barham who played alright for Collingwood for many years.

    Country football would have put Michael Christian about 5 weeks behind in writing up suspensions if today's rules were in place.

    Needed Chocko’s advice on technique?

    I wonder if Fanning was any good at handball?

    It's a real suburb and it kinda suits that's where they train.

     

    ...It's actually pronounced with a silent ck, except for the purposes of this forum, in which case, I'm happy to forget that.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • 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.
