Brown is officially cooked. Apparently his knee is flaring again. Such a shame. A second KPF has to be our priority in the draft/trade period

Makes sense with Petty being shifted Pre season to the Forward line.

Seen the writing on the wall.

Both a tactical and a necessity at the end of the day.

Sad news.

But we can never forget, BBB was a DEMON PREMIERSHIP FF ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

When you say "officially", do you mean the club, or you, saying that?

Agree with another key forward in the draft/trade period and have been posting it for a while now.

If BBB retires and maybe even Tom Mac as well, we should be looking to bring in a mature key forward and draft another one as well.

Have to go into the market.

So the only change for Monday is Hibberd in for Bowey. If Hibberd hasn't got up it could be Disco playing, that's why he may not be named in the team, just guessing.

Just seen that Disco has been named injured. Hibbo definitely in.

It’s been reported on. He is listed as injured. In his latest Instagram post he is wearing a bandage on his knee. It’s the midpoint of the season and he has played a couple of senior games. But yeah, I just made the whole thing up. Not like he had this dodgy knee for a while or anything

I realise i'll be mocked here for saying this, but what about offering Jesse Hogan a two year contract? I understand he's out of contract at end of season. Surely this would be worth the risk? He seems like he's been more switched on over the last few seasons and improved his discipline.

Jesse might be more 'switched on' than you think if he is still living with Mumford!

that should have happened 2 years ago in my view

BB and T MAc always high risk and should have been covered

I wasn’t accusing you of making it up, I just asked if the club said it, or it was your opinion, that his injury was career ending.

There is a difference as you will agree.

It wasn’t an attack on you.

Well I suppose the club thought they would be good for another short period and they drafted JVR and Jefferson as the ones to take over. They also brought in Schache to replace Weid. I am certain we will draft or trade another key forward, or both, this year.

Have watched him play a fair bit this year and while he has kicked a few goals, he drops a lot of marks, has no recovery now, applies no forward pressure, sulks a lot and admonishes team mates.

That doesn’t fit our culture, so I can’t see us considering him.

from all reports we talked to him before he went to gw$

after the conversation and the requests that we made to make to his lifestyle it was a resounding 'no' from our football department

This still feels so, so wrong.

I agree, I’ve watched a couple of GWS games and his body language is still that off a sulky teenager. He also has virtually no second efforts. Such a shame, he absolutely has the build and talent, just seems like he can’t get out of that unproductive headspace.


Looking to sept going to be hard to succeed without either of bb or TMac. Jvr has been brilliant in his first season but is 19. Relying on him, petty with Maxy and Grundy chipping in won’t get it done. Hope im wrong.

We badly need to pick up an experienced KPF in trade week. not many around though.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
