Amazing what an academy and father son picks get you !!! 


Still smart recruiting. No second rate scrubbers.  Neale. Cameron. Daniher. Dunkley.  Take note !!!

Absolutely Oscar McInErnery's energy in the medal presentation.

Pure goofy, loving joy.

Suspect that has been a big part of keeping the team upbeat during some rough early times.

Apparently he was very upbeat all week & didn't moan about his injury or missing out

 

Absolutely putrid grand final. Game was worse than the pre-game.

Polar opposite to Mills

That was my second life lesson, don’t whine, feel sorry for yourself or give time being negative about something that you can’t change. The Big O’s excitement during and after the game (especially for his replacement) was beautiful.

They just won the flag from 5th.

Let that settle 

And the only other team to win from outside the 4 beat …. $ydney

11 players played every game. Consistency helps. 

But they also had the depth to cover for McInerney, Coleman and McCarthy (plus Gardiner and Doedee).

Fantastic list management and fitness. Not a coincidence.

For Sydney, when the going got tough they fell apart and you’d think the scars of 2022 has something to do with that. Their tall forwards are barely better than ours and they couldn’t compete aerially against Brisbane’s defence.

All the more reason to believe that if we get some of sh*t together in terms of game plan (Bassett) is a nice inclusion, then we are right in the thick of it.

Last 2 premiers aren’t absolutely dominant like we were and other great teams before us. Brisbane are still far from invincible in spite of a flag.

Personally, enjoyed Swans get smashed... again 🥰

It's a bad movie on repeat for Sydney.

The Buffalo Bills lost 4 straight superbowls in the 90s, by the time the last one came along the loss seemed a forgone conclusion. Are Sydney too traumatised with this group?

Well the only logical conclusion from this is that our boys need to have a wild footy trip, and a poorly managed WhatsApp group.

I thought we had enough of the media bashing us up.

If ever there was a year to do it, this was it. Such an even season. Top 4 made up of seriously flawed teams.

You could argue it was the worst top 4 in years 

Watching Brisbane today made me realise how bad our skills are at times.

Brisbane just run hard for each other and create space, they don't fumble and there forward line is open & they don't get in each other's way.

Happy the Lions and Fagan but worried about them when they add Ashcroft next year

They bat so deep. Blokes like Ah Chee are their 10-15th best player and is so skilled

Could be the case if they lose another one within the next few seasons. But at the moment, I put it down to a lack of experience on the MCG and larger grounds in general. They also have a heap of flashy type players that play for themselves. 

Four lost GFs in a row

How do you even rock up to preseason?

Fans must be in pieces. But they only have themselves to blame

Blokes like Heeney Warner Gulden completely choked on the big stage


Going out in straight sets for us two years in a row.

Yep.

At least we made a fist of it.

And came very close despite injuries at umps.

Swans have no excuse.

The most lackluster effort in a granny by any club for eons.

In it for twenty minutes then went to sleep.

Going to haunt them until they lose another.

Time to move Horse on.... 1 of 4 in Gf's during his time.  Need new ideas to try and get them one. 

 

Worse than that - 1 of 5 

Won 2012

Lost 

2014, 2016, 2022, 2024

Almost time to give them a nickname like colliwobbles?

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
