This video is really worth watching. Mali is the designer of this season’s Narrm guernsey and she tells the story of her beloved little brother’s second chance at life which is the inspiration for her design. I watched this vid when it was put on the website about a fortnight ago and today I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Mali and her little brother KC who were at Gosch’s. Regardless of how you feel about the guernsey design, you’ll love it once you’ve heard their story.

    Please be the year we square the win/loss ledger for Narrm. Also if we could go back to more goals than points, would also be much appreciated.

    1-3 under Narrm.

    The one win came against North in 2022.

    The under Naarm sounds a bit like the Chappeli incident.

    Except Chappelli (Ian) wasn't involved.  It was Chappell (G.) instructing Chappell (T.).

    I was at that game.  It ranks with the Adam Goodes saga as the most disgraceful thing I've seen in sport.

    I went to the 2016 Australia Day T20 match between Australia and India and a Cairns basketball match not so long ago. Everyone was well behaved, but as far as sports go, it all felt pretty disgraceful.

    Excited to see two new clubs have adopted their First Nations names!  We've now got Euro-Yroke (St Kilda) and Waalitj Marawar (Weagles).

    Proud of the club for starting off this approach ❤💙

    Such a lovely story, I hope the club keeps this design for a few years. Or gets Mali to do a series.

    There has been a disturbing recent trend on social media with our indigenous members of our community having their identity questioned from the ignorant overseas. Won’t go into more because it isn’t relevant to my next point but I am really proud of the club that they do this and that we just make it a part of this storied club.

    The best time to start a tradition is ten years ago, the second best time is today.

    I think that’s the saying…

    I agree rpfc. Mali is an extremely talented artist and her whole family is mad, mad, mad Melbourne. A ton of love went into that design. 

    Mali and KC were interviewed on 360 last night. It was striking how grateful they were to share their story, in particular KC at the end of the interview was so sincere in his thanks to Gerard and Robbo. I saw this for myself on Monday at Gosch’s. I told Mali that when I watched the video how bloody relieved I was to get to the end to discover KC made it through and is now thriving. She said, “Can you do something for me… can you please tell him that?” She called him over (I didn’t realise he was there) and I did just that. What can I say… this kid must hear things like this all the time but he appreciated every word I said. I actually teared up while talking to him and he reached out to hold my hand! What 17yo kid does that??? Massive hugs and gushing about the Dees ensued and it’s a meeting I’ll never forget.

    I’m gonna make a hobby out of hearing the commentators trying to pronounce ‘Waalitj Marawar’ 😅

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
