Iā€™m convinced Dodoro has compromising photos of someone high up at the Bombers. The bloke has Teflon shoulders

    Let's pray that DoDrito never learns to milk a draft using the same elasticity with double pike, triple twist and tight tuck he applies to the shenanigans in the Essenscum boardroom.

    If he can survive working at Essendon then anything is possible, It's a good move for him.

    I loved what Josh Mahoney bought to our club and was disappointed that he ventured to Essendon, I am so happy for Josh that he has been picked up by the AFL he will help make it a much smarter and fairer footy place and I like the changes Ā that Ross Dillon is making within the AFL.Ā

    I'm sure we all know who you mean. But it begs the question...is Ross any relation to Andrew Dillon?

    Many years ago now, I was a member the mfc, year after year. Joined after a passionate public plea from Jimmy. Then one year after having some financial struggles I was slow to renew. A cold call from Josh Mahoney himself seemed full of genuine spirit and desire to retain each member as every bit of help would have the club turn the corner soon. Whilst I was low on funds I had just found work and agreed that on the next payday I could make it work and would sign on again for what would have been a 10th year. He said he was excited to have me back and would personally call me that Friday to get me signed up once more. A decade has since passed. Iā€™m beginning to think he has forgotten me.Ā

    being hated by the peptide's people would surely have to be a badge of honour and a good guy endorsement

    Just because they claim to be rebuilding but also didn't have a single player in the 22-under-22 team doesn't mean there is anything wrong with their drafting and development. Just ask dodo.

    Escape is survival! Basically Essendon club politics is a Resident Evil spin-off.

    Just quit the AFL as GM Football Performance. City Hall not big enough for all the egos - including those incoming - perhaps?

    I thought there'd be more discussion of this here.

    Glancing at his responsibilities, which include vague portfolios touching umpiring, mystery operations, ball-tracking technology and other things, you'd have to say his time at the palace hasn't been a success. I do wonder to what extent it is his own failures and to what extent he was simply handed the [censored] bags to carry.

    If there's any possibility he'll get cranky and spill on all the trash going on at AFLHQ, I'd be keen. Could Demonland invite him for the 'great historic podcast which brings down the regime'?

    First lets get him back as Football Manager...he's very good in the role.

    Ha ha ha this didnā€™t age well did it, everything from AFL has stunk it up. Where are all these people going, itā€™s like deck chairs on the Titanic???

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didnā€™t just beat Gold Coast ā€” they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry SharpĀ 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lionsā€™ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Letā€™s be honest, last weekā€™s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper ā€” second versus seventeenth ā€” football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
