Definitely beat them 2017. I was back in Australia and watched a bit on TV. First i'd ever heard of big freeze and celebrities going down slides into a pool of ice. Its the MCG  not Disneyland. Its for charity i believe .

I suspect that for five of those years at least we were the higher ranked team.

Oh well .. let's see what this year brings

We have 2-8 record on the Holiday Monday against Collingwood in the last 10. It's starting to get humiliating.

We've won 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2016, 2017.

There is a myth going around that we also won the Queens Birthday game in 2000 where Farmer kicked 9 but that occurred on the Saturday of the QBDAY weekend.

Fantastic news with Oliver.

This.

He and Clarry make us so much better.

Somehow I don't think he will make it. Still listed as 2-3 weeks, but I guess we do have 10 days between games so it's possible. He does tend to take longer to recover from injuries in general.

Clarry is a magical healing unicorn.

Statistically speaking with every loss, we get closer to a win.. that is all the logic I can count on now because every other insight tells me we are going to lose another one this year.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
