Carlton beat us in the 2023 semi.

North beat in the 1998 prelim.

Hawthorn beat us in the 1988 GF.

But we beat them all when it counted in this monumental 2018 tournament.

    Three years later, we took the big one out for the men and a year later, for the women.

    Time for some more …

    Few fresh-faced there! Look at Baker's mop!

    Not as stupid as it sounds. The mistake was to introduce it first at the elite level with absolutely weird promotion.

    Rugby 7's and touch football (NRL) are good examples of game adaptations. Futsal and indoor cricket are other instances.

    Build from a community/school base is the way to start IMO

    Gil: Ok, AFLX.. how are we going to promote this?

    intern: First, we need two dudes in women’s bathers from the 1950’s but with the chest area cut out. And then, we get one of the dudes to stand on the head of the other guy and get him to squat down.

    At the time everyone was making it a joke, well how did we go that year, I always thought it was a positive title to win, and showed that this team is a really good team.

    • 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.
