No worries, Curnow will sort out our issues up forward. 🤝

Ed making a comeback after retirement. Nice, I wish him all the best even if he is more of a midfield tagger than a forward.

    Wc forward ok but midfield speed also would be nice.

    It's pretty sad to say, but I'm actually a bit thankful he won't be there just out of fear of a fan, downing a few too many chardonnays and getting a bit 'passionate' towards Christian and maybe whoever he takes to the night.

     

    Yeah too right....

    The interview with Trac the club just put out is really lovely, I have to say. Doesn’t stop me being still a tad angry with him but it’s diminishing!

    No, ironically I look a bit like Champ!

    Great to hear he can crank up his training and he is so motivated to be right for day 1 of preseason

    This may seem rather left field. But seeing that the Houston idea seems almost totally lost, I wonder whether the recruiting department could look at lining up a meeting between Houston and Trac.  Seeing Trac's recent interview where he talks about the positives from the last few weeks-the healthy robust discussions and how he is really committed and energised regarding next year.

    Talking with Houston about how he would look forward to playing with him and what Houston could offer the Dees and vice versa. It might clear the air and clear out some of the concerns Houston may have had. At the very least, there seems nothing to lose by trying this.

    Almost as good as when you bailed up Blake Howes for 20 minutes only to later find out it was Daniel Turner…

    I think the damage has already been done. You cannot walk back the absolute [censored] storm we had in the last few months. It didn’t play out well for us, nor Trac. 

    The best thing we can hope for is Houston stays out, we redeem ourselves and try again for slightly less of an asking price in 12 months.

    Great to see Christian Petracca smiling.

    His interview seemed very honest and sincere in what he said.

    I could never stay mad at the man who helped us end our 57 year Premiership drought in 2021 and won a Norm Smith Medal.

    I wish Christian Petracca a wonderful time on his holidays in Europe and hope he enjoys himself at the Redbull Elite Fitness Centre.

    Fingers crossed Christian Petracca has an excellent year in 2025. Would love to see him in the future win more Premiership Medallions for the Melbourne Demons and possibly a Brownlow Medal too!

    I reckon the Houston trade went cold for a number of reasons - but the club was probably expecting to part with pick 10-14 as its first round pick. When that came in significantly over the last 4 weeks of the season the price became unreasonable. There’s a huge difference between ‘first round’ and top 5.

    If he does move it’ll be interesting to watch what the eventual cost is.

    Not sure when the B&F is, but surely you’d think Tracc might think it important to spend that night with his teammates - to get some brownie points at least. Surely he could head OS after that night.

    Yes there is - we might waste a high draft pick on a mature/aging HBF.

    But not as good as the time we introduced ourselves to Tom Scully at the 2009 draft party at the MCG:

    Not a peep from the media yet re the completion of feasibility but one straight away that Trac will miss the BNF.

    Channel 7 news gave plenty to the feasibility story.

    They really made sure to tick all the boxes:

    Can’t wait for next year ✅ 

    Disappointing to miss finals ✅ 

    All great mates and life long friends ✅ 

    Setting myself for a big 2025 with the MFC ✅ 

    Big smile because I’m genuinely happy ✅ 

    I’ve seen less contrived interviews with Macho Man Randy Savage, but who cares. He’s stuck with us (for now), he’s a jet and is driven to give his all for his own sake, regardless of whether he’s completely happy at the club. Let’s hope we make amends in 2025 in every way and he is still happy to be there.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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.
