had a friend who worked there for years

they've done a pretty job of engaging the pacific islander base, as @No. 31 said

but for the most part they're completely anonymous in melbourne from an engagement and junior development perspective

rugby australia has a lot to answer for - how that sport has squandered its success in the 90s and 00s is extraordinary

    99.9% of Victorians wouldn't be able to name a single Rebels player, let alone be interested in attending games. 

    The way that team has been promoted is abysmal. Hopefully it frees up sponsorship dollars for the MFC.

    Yes, there was absolutely no promotion at all. Rugby Australia are to blame for all of this. 
    Letting it out on the eve of a Finals Campaign 

    Shameful, hope it goes to Court

    Watching the Rebs last ever H&A match in Fiji on Stan Sports. The Rebels giving it a good crack with the score 19-19 against Fijian Drua.

    Carn the Rebs!

    They needed someone like Cam Pedo to come in and shake things up. But thinking outside the dodecagon, any of their guys be any good a full forward?

    I used to know Wallaby players' names; now I don't even know or care when, where and on what channel games are on. Hurry up and merge League and Yawnion.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
