I wonder if AMW could get a chance against the Swans with Kozzie out.

Even though they are a bit different, it could depend on whether McAdam is fit.

McAdam is no chance given he’s still doing laps at training. Similarly Spargo seems ruled out 

If Oliver is ineligible as it seems he will be then Kynan Brown has to be the favourite to start given he’s in the 23, but after that AMW is in with a chance if he’s fit and healthy.

    No backhand. Andy’s interviews are brilliant. As are the track reports. 

    No, I meant the dees social is a low bar.

    Andy goes alright.

    We don't know what areas the club has cut resources and funding from but it seems that social media and comms likely has taken a hit. Losing Ben Gibson was huge and I don't believe they have adequately replaced him. In this day and age club comms and social media is huge in order to engage the whole supporter base. I think they are trying to engage the youth market and I don't know how successful they are with that as that content is not my cup of tea. Perhaps the kids love that stuff and it is important to engage that area of the market but in terms of real information about the footy side of things other clubs are far superior in that regard.

    The Dee's should be a little smarter. Demonland (DL) has a fair few 'readers' and posters. The Dee's should use DL to compliment (not relace just assist reach members/suppporters) for their communication and a little marketing.
    For example seats should be made available for DL updates at practice games. TheRE should be some access to players and staff for interviews during the year and after some games. Plenty of other things could be arranged.

    Its almost like a business who has access to a fair sized growing Data base nearby and does not use it. A good business would not let this happen. If the Dee's want an edge here it is - right under their noses.

    It would not be hard for the MFC to join forces and build Demonland in a real Dee's Army.

    My opinion only.

    Lets face it red hot suppoerters cant get enough Dee's information

    Why do you say ineligible? Has there been an announcement that I have missed?

    No announcement, but a report during last nights game suggested the long term view is still the main priority. Everything from the club has suggested a slow approach

    Kolt being noted as one of our best three is a big boost. Seems to be a lot of focus on Windsor (rightfully so) at the moment so this is a timely reminder of his skillset

    Rotations aside appear to have eased off on the pedal last quarter.

    Curious with ABs retirement if that impacts the Kolt plan this year.

    Not sure we’ll get more answers but aside from injuries and best players I would love to know:

    - How much did T Mc, Jeffo and Kolt play, surely at least one of them is on the extended bench tonight for late cover 

    - Fullarton? Minutes and form?

    Anyway, seems a strong hit out by Casey given they weren’t loaded with senior talent. No doubt Clarry helped!

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
