Given none of our supporter base can get JVR'S pronunciation correct and yell Roo when he get's it, i'm nor sure why the same people are upset when our president calls trac pertracka.

 

 

Hahaha, neither can our match day announcer - Robbo says it wrong every single week

Clazz to request trade due to concerns about Dees culture I'm hearing

Clarry reckons a strong club would have traded him 12 months ago

Groucho Oliver?

    I'm really over people pointing fingers at the usual suspects: the media (those good folks just doing their job), the umpires (come on, we all know they’re perfect), the AFL (because they’re totally innocent), the Filth (Collingwood, obviously), the Club, ex-club legends, the *cul-cha*, Pork-barrel Park, the Government (they're always blamed for everything), injuries, the fitness team (surely they’re saints), the admin chaos . . . oh, and did I mention the umpires (again)?

    Here's where we *really* need to be focusing our attention for where the real vilians are hiding - in plain view.

        1.    Judas Iscariot – The original backstabber, pre-Facebook drama.
        2.    The person in the grassy knoll – Still dodging accusations like a pro.
        3.    Lindy Chamberlain – Blamed for a dingo’s diet plan.
        4.    Richard Nixon – The guy who made tape recordings go out of style.
        5.    Macbeth – Just couldn’t resist the whole “stab the king” trend.
        6.    Marie Antoinette – Accused of not sharing her cake recipe.
        7.    Bernie Madoff – A financial wizard, but not in a Harry Potter way.
        8.    King Henry VIII – Bad at marriages, good at decapitations.
        9.   George Pell – Accused of lots, cleared of some, still dodgy headlines.
        10.  Voldemort – Definitely allergic to love, and noses.

    Unfortunately I could see us losing to Collingwood again which sets off all the emotions of "here we go again".

    I think the AFL will go after another Round 1 attendance record and putting Hawks vs. Pies on a Friday night would be a good start.

    After all this trade [censored], Melbourne vs. Geelong at the MCG, Saturday 2.10, is what i'd like to see.

    this is funny! as if we are playing geelong at the MCG this year! weve had our once a decade game at the g, its GMHBA from now until 2032.

    I just wish they'd give us the double up Collingwood game in round 1 instead of in the later rounds. The kind of game where we can make a very big statement by coming out firing straight up !

    I see what you are saying, but everything that can go wrong when playing Collingwood goes wrong. We even lose a player to suspension when the oppo's captain slips over in the wet and of course we pay the price. Please play them once next year.

    Give us a West Coast at the G in round 1, Sunday 1pm on a a beautiful March afternoon in front of 35K as we quietly build into a season of redemption. Happy to sit out opening round.

    35,000! That would be a win if it happened.

    We’ve had the Dogs at the G in Round 1 three years in a row. Might happen again?

    If you can't say anything that's not difficult, don't say anything at all.

    For crying out loud champ, people are allowed to hold their club accountable. And very ordinary to call others ‘maggots’ on here as well.

    While the media clearly loves stirring the pot about us (I really do hate Sam McClure), there is too much noise for one to stick their head in the sand and think “yeah, everything’s rosy over at Melbourne HQ”.

    Whether you like it or not, the fact that all of this information has been leaked out to the media, points to an inability of the club to prevent information leakage. 

    That’s an issue of the club and certain people privy to information who won’t keep their damn mouths shut.

    We got 32K in round 17 against West Coast off some patchy form. Wouldn't be impossible to get an extra 3K in the same time slot given the opening game always generates excitement.

    Or perhaps everyone that was on the fence about attending that game attended, as compared to the later GWS and Port games where many people erred on the side of staying home.

    If we get the Dogs for the fourth year in a row for round 1, then clearly it's high on our request list.

    Always attack an opponent's strengths, not weaknesses. No-one expects you to attack the strongest part of the fort. Take life by its little bunny ears and get in its face, because that my friend is LIVING!

    If the team at Sleepy Hollow had Derksen they would be requesting pick 5 plus a future first rounder. They are in danger of becoming the new Essendon.

    IIRC kids went free to this year’s WC game. Although we do tend to get bigger crowds earlier in the year with the better weather and the optimism.

    Thanks Andrew Mackie for clearing the air…!!!!!

    I believed our President at the B&F when he said we will start Round 1 at the G with Gawn, Viney, Oliver and Petracca. Go Figger.❤️💙💕

    Lamb was pretty careful with his wording as to how we got into such a hot mess but he was definitive about where Oliver will be playing next season.

    The AFL owes us for keeping the AFL in the news during otherwise dull weeks.  Sadly, the reward will probably be getting to play Geelong twice at GMBH next year.

    Whatever the review raises Green and co need to address the circus club has become … the last 12mths is a joke with the going ons of Oliver, Trac and constant noise enough is enough, either keep these players or trade them!

     

    So it's over.

    No trade.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
