Kangaroos Hopping Mad after Triple Walk Out
Along with this list management debacle, JHF and Zurhaar have put off contract talks until the end of the year. Wouldn't mind picking up Zurhaar if there's an EOY fire sale, has a bit about him I reckon

The Demon with the "Money Kick"
To understand Spargo's game you need to watch those highlight packages like what The Mighty Demons does on YouTube, showing every possession through the course of a game. Watching those you realise that he just doesn't waste it with ball in hand, and there's no more important spot to do that than entering inside 50. I'll put my hand up and say I was very ambivalent about Spargs as an AFL player, he has proved me so wrong. Well done lad

MFC Rebranding for Indigenous Round
Watching that put the biggest smile on my face. Club absolutely kicking goals off-field recently, and this shows what the addition of an indigenous liaison officer at each club can do. Narrm the Dees!!!

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs West Coast
Some Dees fans need to take a step back and have a look at the bigger picture, bigger picture being: - 9-0 - 16 wins on the trot - 1st on ladder - 1st on percentage - Reigning premiers - Arguably the greatest defensive team of the AFL era So we only won by 74 points against a ravaged West Coast? Sure, the 2nd/3rd quarters were boring but the team is made up of humans, not football robots. We won by 12 goals and kept them to 5, not much more you can realistically ask for. Enjoy the ride, it's the most exciting time to be a Dees fan since the introduction of TV in Australia. Go Narrm

Farewell Luke Jackson
He is a high-character kid, and I think he genuinely values his friendship/partnership with Gawny and as long as Gawny is at the club, Dogga will be there too. Hopefully by the time Max retires, Jacko will be fully entrenched in MFC culture and Melbourne city living - I don't think he's going anywhere, for years at least.

He made Hunt look like he had cement boots on, not an easy feat.....

Round 1 Vs Dogs at Whitten Oval
Alyssa Bannan impressed me with her athleticism. If she can get her hands on the ball more I reckon she can have a real impact, using her strength and leg speed to drive out of the contest in the same way Clarry does. Overall a very impressive hit out, if we can improve our forward connection we should dominate games (where have I heard this before?). Also Zanker is a bloody gun, a damaging mid who is also one of the tallest on the ground!

Bailey Smith
I heard his mum has been pretty crook, which would explain the "family matters" reason. If that is indeed the reason then I hope he takes all the time he needs. As we saw with Jesse Hogan losing a parent can have a big effect on a young man, even more so when you're already grappling with mental issues. Wish him and his family all the best.

Is Melbourne's midfield one of the best of all time?
Replace Ling with Bartel in that list. But our midfield may well be in that conversation in 4-5 years time, need more runs on the board though. Hopefully 1 or 2 more flags and the comparisons will be impossible to ignore.

What they're saying about Max elsewhere
Maybe that's why Stanley left Gawn alone to mark and kick the match-winning goal in r23 😛

AFL lookalikes
- POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Yep, I felt as though this season our home strip + navy shorts looked better than it ever had before, not sure why I noticed it so much.... maybe it is just a big swell of pride for our incredible team- Game plans, tactics and all that jazz
To my eye a big difference is that BB is more top-heavy, and during physical contests, if he gets knocked off balance he won't make much of an effort to correct himself, and will tend to fall more dramatically than someone who is trying their best to stay on their feet. He did it at North a lot which [censored] me off considering how physically imposing he is, he still does it but for some reason I have more of a tolerance for it now 😜- Welcome to Demonland: Blake Howes
I never regret ordering a hamburger ☺️🍔- CHANGES 2021 by The Oracle
The list looks in great shape for next year. The primary concern will surely be that our injury luck will have to run out, but I think our system and culture is strong enough that we can adopt the same mentality of the Tigers in recent years where if one soldier goes down, the players know the system well enough that the next guy can come in and fill a role from the get-go. Regular season could be a good chance to give some guys like Laurie, Weid, Chandler, JVR, Bedford a run to see where they're at and explore our depth a bit. Great position to be in.- 2021 Player Reviews: #2 Nathan Jones
I was watching an interview with Gawny and Trac yesterday where Gawny said Goody was going to dedicate a bunch of his acceptance speech to Jonesy, but never got the chance. Bloody Basil!- Welcome to Demonland: Taj Woewodin
Correct. Many fingerprints are on this year's cup, and we should celebrate the contribution of all who played a part (Except maybe Mark Neeld and Cameron Schwab).- PLAYER NUMBERS AND BEST TEAMS
Maybe, but I'd give him the chance if he wants it- PLAYER NUMBERS AND BEST TEAMS
I'd give Tommy Sparrow the opportunity to move up to no.2, he seems like a worthy man to continue the Chunk legacy- Jaguar Re-Signs for 2021
Ideally they should change the sponsorship from the Jaguar brand to the broader JLR company to align with the lucrative Range Rover clientele. Have also seen a lot of new-gen Defenders milling about in Brighton recently, seems like it would be a good fit, especially with new RR launching next year!- Flying the flag
I'm trying to figure out what the F that thing is.... looks kinda like a Eunos 500 but with Merc wheels and a Mustang badge on the rear 3/4.... what a dog's breakfast! But they get a pass for repping the Dees haha - POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
