Excellent Cale Morton interview with Ben Gibson, well worth a look/listen: I saw it on YouTube. Fascinating insight into the down years a decade or more ago. Morton certainly comes across as a pretty smart bloke!

    Cale was also on the Sunday footy show (I think) a few weeks ago and came across really well then as well. Been in a very good paddock by the looks and seems like a smart young man.

    Good listen. I thought Gibby was going to ask him point blank if it was true that Gawn spewed on Tom Scully in China but they didn’t go into a lot of detail on that front..

    Gawn has probably qualified for an autobiography when he retires, and I'm hanging out for big vom revelations.

    Yeah finally managed to put on a bit of weight which is nice. Another preseason and he'll be ready to roll.

    Surely a job for Demonblog publishing.. 

    it just struck me how if you’d asked 1000 people in 2010 which of Max & Scully would be the 6x all Australian, 2x B&F winner, premiership-winning captain of an AFL club and which one would be none of those things approximately 0 of those people would’ve picked Max. Absolutely absurd how things turned around.

    If Max is up it we can go minimum 500 pages.

    And Dusty would have been handy before $cully or Trengove, who even at his fittest still looked a tad slow. The Dusty and Max draft would have been epic.

    There hasn't been a footy biography for real sickos since The Red Fox. Time to go again.

    We had 4 picks within the first 20 and six overall at that draft. Max was taken as our fifth pick behind Scully, Trengove, Gisberts and Tapscott. Imagine if you had a crystal ball and we had selected:
    Martin, Cunnington, Fyfe, Gawn (of course), Duncan and picked up Dylan Grimes with pick #1 in the pre-season draft.  We'd have won six premierships with that list, although in second thoughts we probably would have debuted them all on Queens Birthday and scarred them for life.

    They would have been Melbournised and delisted within 3 years

    I’d say take my money now but you’re gonna need to wait til he retires to get all the good gear, hopefully 2030ish

    The only thing Scully had going for him was his elite fitness, was never going to be a great player, Dustin Martin was always a better player then Scully, but back then how you ran was put far to high as a  Quilty

    D****d Autocorrect!

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
