Can anybody name the other Grand Final Coach who never played without looking it up?  (I couldn't)

    I hope his goggles fog up and he trips over himself, falls flat on his face, breaks his nose and never plays again.

    Another year and we don't have to wonder where our post match celebrations will be held.

    Can Collingwood still use Victoria Park and how about the Lions at Brusnswick Street Oval. Olympic Park does not have the same feel.

    I see the Pies are trying a fan site at Olympic Park. These have never really worked in the past. A pity.... I wonder what would attract people.

    I thought our post premiership day at the MCG was well done but I hope the next one is even better

    Some returned tickets from the MCC ballot become available tomorrow. I'm not bothering. 

    FWIW, I was again attacked by a freakin magpie while riding today. That's 4 times in the past month.

    Death to magpies!!

    Joyce and Hafey both played VFL footy.  It's a great trivia question!

    so hard not to google it. certainly a cracking question 

    it’s actually surprising there’s aren’t more coaches that’s haven’t played at the highest level. Jose Mourinho types

    The last one I can remember is Wayne Brittain at Carlton.

    edit:  Add Brendan McCartney and Neil Craig (who did play 300+ SANFL games).

    I didn’t know Chris Fagan never played VFL/AFL. Now I’m wondering why I oftentimes heard Brendon Bolton being criticised as a coach because of the fact that he never played at the highest level. I’ve never heard this sort of talk about Fagan.

    And there's another one!  Forgot all about him, even though he coached as recently as 2019.

    Dammit, this still hurts. We absolutely should be playing this weekend. Anyway. Go Brisbane, I guess. Purely because the alternative doesn’t bear thinking.

    Cox getting a medal will mean the nausea going into effect.

    Maynard getting a medal will mean a churning feeling in the stomach.

    Howe getting a medal will mean chunks and bile all over the tv.

    Seat secured. Like many fellow Demonlanders I will be booing Bruzzy at every opportunity.

    I'll watch it, but the TV will be turned off if the unthinkable becomes inevitable.

    Won't be watching. Not sure why anyone on here would. Picking up a new car then watching our 2021 finals. Will be a great day.

    What car @Clintosaurus? Take a video of picking it up and put it on Demonland, I’d rather watch that than the GF.

    No, but I could always stream one of Bob Ross’ painting sessions

    Had to look him up. Nice Catoggioid hair!

    However, I had the drying phase in mind. Warm day, but I reckon there'd still be 4 quarters plus presentations worth.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
