18 goals.  Unbelievable!

I doubt (and hope!) that it will never be beaten.

Still holds that record. 18 goals.  Seemed a humble guy too from interviews i recall back in the 90s. Hard to see that record getting overhauled with the modern game too.

I’m having a ball with my new fam, just call me Ghosty Mentha. They are the most awesome people ever. Nina, Ricky’s mum, is moving to Melb next month. She’s gonna share a house with Ricky. Hashtag too cute. Ricky Snr lives in Gippsland already as does his daughter (Ricky’s sister) Lily. Then there’s Nan. She’s not here tonight but Ricky Snr told me she’s gonna be “transient between Alice and Melbourne.”

Will Verrall does have a nickname. It’s “Fish” and it comes from when he was rehabbing not long after he joined the club and the first thing he did every session was to jump in the pool. And stay there. 😁

I that's the family friendly version of why he's called "Fish".

Point form:

Jai’s nickname is Culls.

Knuckles McVee is actually KNUCKLE not Knuckles (plural)

Disco doesn’t know why he doesn’t have his #10 training jumper except that they told him they’ve ordered it but it hasn’t yet arrived. He does have his game-day #10 jumper though.

Sesto is an awesome person. Always so friendly and was happy to hear there’s been some really positive things being said about him.

Salo’s brother Ralph is the only person I’ve had a pic with. It’s a thing at these events. It amuses Salo that he’s chopped liver when Ralph’s around 😂

Jed Adams considered coming outside with me for a cigarette. Jokes. But Leb and Howesy told me to ask him. Sch!ttt stirrers

Dessert’s here!!! 👋

I’m not sure if it’s streaming, but for everyone who loves this club, if you can - watch Garry’s induction speech for Jim. One of the great speeches I’ve ever heard.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
