Hopefully this serves as a reminder to some Melbourne fans that despite his poor form he's still a human being. Congrats to Fritta

    You'd think, with that name, he'd have a wide part through the red.

    Congratulations to Fritta and Natalie. A weeks personal leave may be in order. He will want to be near home and the hospital this week. Its a pretty magical (and demanding) time for a family.

    It will also give him a chance to relieve the pressure and regroup.

    Good on you Fritta, and seriously what better reminder that footy is just a game at the end of the day, this stuff is what life is really about...family! When all is said and done, the games have been won and lost, the most important thing is family.

    Well done guys congrats on your beautiful baby boy, hopefully you both get some sleep!

    He didn't deserve to be dropped anyway but wow he must have had a distraction or two recently with that coming up, absolutely huge life event right there :) Footy is great and all, but it really pales in comparison to having a kid.

    Yes give him a couple of weeks off for paternity leave. He won't be missed and it might actually improve him.

    Also a job well done for not having this baby in grand final week. Good planning, not that I think it matters.

    Wonderful news! ❤️💙

    Hopefully a Father-Son selection for the Demons in over 18 years time. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻

    I hafta agree that if the pregnancy was testing it may have affected Bailey's form. I certainly thought the argument that he was playing badly because he wants to be traded was ridiculous.

    Every single player’s partner must be pregnant and having a difficult one.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
