Really hope that all the keyboard heroes on this site who enjoy calling Clarry fat, lazy, unmotivated and so forth when they know absolutely stuff all, sit the [censored] down and shut the [censored] up.

Jaded where have you been, missed your input!

    I think Oliver is replaceable but prefer him playing. I wonder if Culley is seen as a possible replacement?

    When does the team get announced, it seems to get later and later. I miss the old days of Thursday night team announcements

    For a team that was thrashed by North Melbourne on the way to a 2-5 record, every game is a danger game.

    Fair bit of chat on this thread that the Eagle's match is danger game. I reckon the only sense in which it's a danger game is the fallout of a loss.

    This is the first time all season I've been confident of win.

    They can have as many crisis meetings as they like but that won't change the fact they are clearly not fit enough and are coming off a six-day break (after having to fly from Melbourne, after a late Sunday arvo game, and arriving back in Perth midnight Sunday night

    I think we will:

    • look to attack and be aggressive with our ball movement from the get-go

    • really look to spread them and use the width of Optus oval

    • do so by using short kicks to switch and hit up players leading at the ball carrier

    • control the tempo with short kicks until we can 'press go' and then go forward quickly

    • use the corridor more than we have been

    • use lots of long forward handballs

    • kick our highest score thus far

    • win by 64 points

    If we don't win the fall out will be vicious.

    So many things in our favour and the fact we're playing on a Sat night is an added bonus.

    Like for like in my book, but I think Laurie probably has earned the call up.

    Feel better soon Clarry

    Goodwin said before round 1 he still has work to do to get back to his best, I think this is all part of that journey, good news is it sounds like him and the club are on the same page these days.

    I hope the media and the football world can just leave Oliver alone this week, and get on with the business of the games and players involved.

    I'm sure there'll be plenty to talk about. Hopefully one of those things is 3 in a row for the Dees.

    Assuming this is a joke? It is the same time/same day every week. Which is a Thursday. At 6.30pm

    I enjoyed watching prime Clarry. Chill out Jaded.

    Happy for people to discuss replacements for Clarry while he is out but please respect his privacy regarding the mental health stuff and leave it at that.

    I find the notion that we should be lying about a mental health issue puzzling. Not sure who that helps.

    If it was a joke then I would have made it funnier, and FYI I checked after I wrote (which I should have done before), and the AFL site tells me it's actually 6:20 (so there!)

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
