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!

    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.

    Redemption Branding

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
