That’s if I get there! But I’m sure this worldwide catastrophe outage will be sorted by Sunday morning. We’ve got members flying out tonight who are at the airport amongst the bedlam. And many more due to fly out early tomorrow morning. 😑

    Sure was unfortunately. The buzz in the Melbourne section pre game was something that I have rarely witnessed. Bloody devastating we were just totally gassed and had nothing left to give. 
     

    Enjoy, hope your winning streak continues.

    Laurie stiff as. 

    But Billings could still provide something for us. It may have come down to a senior body over a young fella

    Billings running out of chances though

    I am registered as an in-flight emotional support camel for tax purposes, so there is some pressure on to keep up appearances.

    To be fair, I've never done a pacific crossing and I'm also putting off a Europe trip until there's an available stopover location which isn't a major slave market or Perth.

    This reminds me about ships not taking in ballast water in Adelaide? (I think they have since lowered their standards)

    I was looking into going to Europe by boat - of course that was pre-Covid - so that’s another option. 
    Probably get to meet real pirates as well!

     

    Good luck to Billings but has been absolute crud at senior level for the most part so far.

    Surely last chance at senior level with any AFL club this week?  Does he even care?  Doesn't play like it.

    Goody proved the afl world wrong with not playing a genuine ruck last week but Jackson & Darcy will have a field day, It’s obvious Fullerton can’t ruck in Goodwin  eyes, very weird 

    He can’t ruck and that’s not just in Goodwin’s eyes.


    Roo will go with Darcy, the two big bodies , and Petty should be able to body Jackson and defend him when he goes forward or drop off him and leave TMac to him.

    Have you seen the weather forecast? It’s going to be wet. Darcy will be a liability out there.

    Billings back in. Hmmmm Hasn’t shown really anything when he has played. Lucky to be back in. Skills poor. Goalkicking poor. Tackling non existent.

    Laurie contracted though to end 2026 for some reason. Looks to slow and uncontested for AFL midfield role and we have plenty of small forwards already.  He’s a VFL standard player. 
     

    Tholstrup is the future.  He’s going to be very very good.

    It’s all about the energy we bring and I reckon the kids have got a taste for it.

    We have plenty of run now with AMW, Mc Vee, Windsor, The Kolt, Langdon back to his best, Kozzie Nibbler and the brilliance of Melksham not to mention the coming of age of Roo , what a month he has had!

    After all the talk of a wet weather game, the forecast is 0-3mm. Doesn’t exactly scream a wet weather slog of a game.

    And I’m not sure we’d benefit from back to back wet games heading into GWS off the back of a 6 day break from Perth.


    Is Fullarton become a permanent emergency especially for interstate matches ? He and the Dees can look on the bright side of life, we will have a fresh player at our disposal. Perhaps the word disposal will have a stronger meaning for Tom year's end . i.e delisted.

    He has another year on his contract.

    Surprised with Billings, from VFL form thought Laurie was more deserving 

    Bowey must be on extremely thin ice

    Geez I get sick of correcting youse spelling. 

    It's spelled Halloween.

    Would've preferred Laurie to be the in.

    He's young, we've given him a contract extension, there must be something there Goodwin believes in.

    Let's see it

    • 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?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
