word from a reliable source is a demon player will retire later this week

my guess is the only senior player that can't and won't get a game again soon is the biz, so it's probably him

sad news if it's true

    This place is full of rumours today.

    I'd say that Pickett is the one, if there is any sort of truth to the rumour.

    I hope not, but he seems to fit the bill.

    Bizzell is still fit and out on the track, so he could still technically play. Doesn't seem the type to retire mid-season.

    That makes the most likely sense ( if one plays this game..lol ).. also Hollywood would want to maximise his wages...as indeed would any sane person. Just strikes me that something else is going on thats troubling ol' Byron and have nothing more than observations of his season so far to base that on. I'm not th eonly one to sense he's not 100% here this year. Hope it all works out for the Byronator. Love to see him continue in the red and blue. On a good day he brings something to this game no one else really does.

    Its like Chinese whispers inst it :-(

    Just heard on SEN news Pickett has been suspended for 1 week (I think) for drinking Saturday night and not attending the game on Sunday.

    "The Melbourne Football Club regrets to advise that Byron Pickett has been suspended from the Club for one week, after failing to attend the Melbourne versus Western Bulldogs game on Sunday 13 May 2007. Not only did Byron not attend the game where he was selected as an emergency, but he has also admitted to drinking alcohol the night before the match."

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • 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.
