    This. Except in a much nicer way, and not disparaging birds of any kind.

    Better to let Grundy and BB do the ruck, give Gawn a break, he's tried.

    You do mean “tired” right?

    I think it was around long before that since my grandad used to say it and he’d be like 1000 years old were he alive today. 😁

    ‘Trying’ in this instance being an adjective or a verb?

    Interested to see how Joel Smith goes about it tonight.

    Hope he clunks a few and can apply some tackling pressure when it goes to ground.

    We need to find our system and method tonight going forward.

    Taking the mickey by the way @WalkingCivilWar would never question El Capitano.

    Lets go with adjective for those playing at home.

    You must be a kid. Common in old Hollywood movies and early American TV.


    Time for Max to take this game by the scruff of the kneck! Just been going since he's been back & we really do need him at his best. 

    For me, he's our barometer tonight & If he gets going & starts clunking them around the ground like we know he can, then it'll go along way to setting up this game in our favour. 

    If Carlton deny us marking the footy, we'll be in trouble.

    No just your grandad! But don't worry, one of mine would have been 125 y.o a few days ago.

    Not sure what to do about this game whether to start drinking early or later and finish with a flourish

    Coffee ban? Why? WHY??????

    Yeah nah, good luck with that Layz. Wish I could do the same. I would except there’d likely be a spike in random homicides in the western suburbs. 

    I'm running a marathon today and feel it's analogous to our season. Currently in the early winter slump, going ok but slightly out of sorts, I hope by the time I cross the finish line (5pm-ish) there will be some beers lined up at the golf club and I can celebrate in style and watch the Dees tonight.

    We're just grinding out the marathon at the moment. Each km marker (game) is merely a snapshot at the present time as to how the team was feeling... it's not a predictor of the end result. There is going to be a lot of hurt and joy both on an individual and team level over the next 12 rounds... and then the next season begins.

    The saying has been around since the 1800s and was a sarcastic response to Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

    Well Polly wants a cracker because this is either a ‘BBB is done’ situation or ‘he can only play 10 AFL games a year’ situation. 

    I don’t understand it and I am worried more for JVR who is running about trying to play to where they are kicking it and looks so lost from time to time. Gawn and Grundy play like they ‘chip in’ to the forwards as a favour and we don’t have someone to the tough work now that TMac is out. 

    Unless we suddenly move the ball better - get ready for more frustration and as many I50s as points…

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
