    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.

    On the subject of agro, was it just me but did Maxy look like he'd taken one of his get annoyed pills in the practice game?

    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.

    Love to see it. Sounds like it'll be the first 22 from the Carlton game with Oliver replacing Kozzie?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
