    I believe his challenge will be dealing with some sledging

    I'd be surprised...

    In most cases these days personal stuff would be a no go zone unless you're a certain Brisbaner.

    Viney, but I think they have told him to curtail his whack-'em mold

    For sure Big kev.He's well spoken with wonderful hair but he will certainly give you something to remember the game by. And probably smile while he does it. All round class is our Jack. Love his work.

    Yes seemed he had a point to prove. I hope they remember it's a marathon of a season though and don't blow their load before September again.

    Would you rather Viney tap him on the backside every time he gets a kick?

    Has to be one of the silliest comments on demonland. Nothing but respect to JJ, he busted his balls for us.

    Not sure why we are the underdogs in this one, Sydney aren't that great a side and are missing a lot of first choice mids especially if Adams is out as well now....the SCG doesnt hold any fears for us we should be able to come away with the W

    We're coming in on the betting market, it's nearly now even odds for both teams, have a feeling well be slight favourites by Wednesday.

    Oliver to play per Sam Edmund on SEN this morning. The club has apparently been impressed with his attitude, training standards, investment in his teammates etc...

    I think there is now enough noise to suggest that he'll be playing.

    I reckon this bloke would have sorted him out nicely (and a reminder about how many sleeps to go to the start of the season).

    Loved Jacko, followed him from end to end every quarter, possibly the most offbeat and entertaining Dee of all time.

    That said… his bark was infinitely more frightening than his bite

    That is, his bite as an enforcer/thug. His bite as a forward was consistently underrated.

    Have had opposition supporters saying they have inside info he won’t play all year.

    I have been replying all summer without any inside info, that he will play first round if his fitness is ok and Medical people have no issue.

    Hopefully he plays and has a great season and sticks it up the whole AFL media and opposition.

    Well we had dancing with your sister game against Richmond and then dancing with your aunt against the blues, now the season starts and I will be interested in watching how the forward lines works this year get this right and the season will look after itself.

    All big ticks for clarry.

    But also a massive tick for the club, how it has handled this situation, and yes its culture.

    And a massive cross for the media and the media model.

    Slam us for months with all the preseason from hell and salacious innuendo bulltish. Drive a narrative not supported by the facts. All's fair in clicks and war.

    And then don't balance that with any retractions or contrary stories and information.

    Sure, when clarry gets back and we are travellimg ok there will be a few token redemption stories, good for clicks.

    But they won't come close to balancing out all the slanderous, false narrative rubbish the media has thrown at the club for the last five months.

    By the by, Sammy is one of the few footy journalists I respect. He has been a lone voice of balance and non hyperbole. Good on him.

    So Clarry comes in for Pickett and no doubt pushes Tracc and Sparrow forward more. Nice little 5 man rotation with Salem and Viney.

    I still think Woey’s versatility makes him the right choice for sub.

    Only selection decisions left might be what to do with the struggling talls at each end but I’m guessing status quo unless Fullarton or T Mc really look the goods at training and in the invisible vfl game last week.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
