Loved the big smile on Tracc.

That is not made up and he appears very invested.

That win was very important for the younger guys too, as it gives a sense of belief and they can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Wholeheartedly agree. The pure joy on Trac's face in that changeroom before the team song was so heart warming.

As put in post elsewhere. I think he's in the wrong role. Slide Goody sideways.. Get a better strategic coach. Win win

Reckon Goody would do extremely well as GM of football - that’s all about relationships.

How do you know Ardu wants to stay in Melbourne? Certainly great and helpful if true.

Because she's said so. She's established a fashion company in Melbourne, and wants to continue pursuing it in Melbourne.

This is very encouraging. If his wife wants to stay that has to be a huge factor in his decision.

Can also confirm I know as fact that she wants to remain in Melbourne.

One thing is a certainty, and that’s laughing at Freo for eternity.

The St Kilda of Perth.

I went to Freo once and can confirm fashion died there.

Not that this is the only reason, but let's not forget that leaving to go somewhere just because mates are there is silly.

If your friend jumped off a cliff would you?


Very encouraging if his partner wants to stay. That's usually the main motivation for wanting to head home. I firmly believed he was out the door last season and if Bolton hadn't gone to Freo then we would've traded him for all of their firsts.

Letting him spend a lot of extra time in WA is really good from the club tbh.

I found this article surprisingly moving. Far more substantive than the usual stage managed “I love the club and want to stay” unconvincing reassurances.

The description of Kozzie being both homesick and wanting to stay was illuminating. This complexity is usually ignored by the media in pursuit of a simplistic and dramatic narrative.

Kudus to the journalist, Kozzie, his dad and the club.

Thats a strange analogy.

That's cool, Kat! What is the name of the company?

About six months ago Ardu told me that her and Koz are not leaving Melbourne.

About two months ago Ardu told me that her and Koz are not leaving Melbourne.

Two weeks ago in Perth (before our match) Ardu and I were talking and Bellanie reached out and started playing with my shiny red and blue nails. Ardu said she’s getting to know me and that it’s cool that I’m getting to see Bellanie grow up.

Now, I certainly ain’t fixin’ on moving outta Melbz so I can only assume Ardu means I’ll see Bellanie grow up in Melbourne. 😁

Ardu’s sister who is also her best friend now lives in Melbourne “not even 10 minutes away.” She spends a lot of time with the little family.

Kozzie’s sister moved to Melbourne earlier this year. She too is super close to Ardu

It is starting to feel like what the club has been putting out on a few fronts is more genuine than in the past. It just may turn out that dropping those first 5 games, weathering the storm and negative focus has bought the group closer together rather than further apart. Adversity can swing both ways. The win against Brisbane must feel so good within the 4 walls. The fact the club got Koz’s Dad to do what must be one of our best indigenous guernsey’s (although I’ve generally been impressed with all of them) and we’ve gone away as a group for a big win must really solidify the group. Long may it continue and long may Kysaiah Klem Paul Kropinyeri-Pickett remain a Demon.

Ardu stated in her staff entry post at the Victorian Koorie Youth Council that she's lived in Melbourne for 10 years, that was in 2022, so she's spent more than half her life living in Melbourne. She may originally be from Darwin, but if she's spend much of her life here, she's a local :)

A GM of football is responsible for managing the football department budget, and for managing the performance of the football department staff (coaches, fitness staff, recruitment, etc).

Relationships are important for all roles, including the GM of football. But it isn't just about being a great bloke everyone loves.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
