TRAINING: Thursday 19th March 2026
Wow…you met an absolute legend! He’s fantastic on a show ‘first things first’ and an all time coach… Was he there knowing that training was on? Or was he just passing through?

The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
the state government is broke - not sure how much they'll be able to leverage considering they've pulled PSO's from train stations & are closing police stations earlier - there's not exactly ample funds to be handed out

The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
You still have access to casey IF need be - we're talking like we aren't coming from that far back that waverly isn't a viable option - Hawthorn won how many premierships whilst training at waverly? If we get stuck there for the next decade, that is objectively a significantly better option than what they have now.

The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
I just don’t get this thinking - we’ve never had a home base, we get some sort of one and now people are annoyed because Caulfield gets potentially gets pushed back? Who cares - it’s a HUGE upgrade over anything we’ve ever had? What’s difficult about this - it’s the right call, if it adds a few years to Caulfield it simply doesn’t matter - would you rather something now or still nothing in seven, eight, nine, 10 years etc? It’s a no brainer

The State of the Salary Cap?
You weren't exactly banking on Oliver & May losing the plot & Brayshaw being medically retired....

2026 Injury List
This exactly - not ideal, but not the end of the world - Melksham at times was our most dangerous forward last season

2026 Injury List
- Welcome to Demonland: Thomas Matthews
Only issue was with him was he never did it anywher near enough...that's ontop of the fact thats essentially where his impact started and finished - Matthews appears to have signficantly more to his game (at least the ceiling to do so) than sprago did- Annual General Meeting
Can tell you that for a fact - this is the first time in four years in which I’ve been able to upgrade my membership as there hasn’t been places available previously…- Welcome to Demonland: Riley Onley
He did also have the first goal he kicked, drilled from outside 50 in the highlights melb put up…- Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
Sparrow is not exclusively a forward - nor has he ever had a role as a small, pressure, goal scoring forward? They’re two entirely different players. JVR is a forward, you didn’t compare him to him? That’s my point- Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
Strange- Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
Steele and Viney are the future, so you wouldn’t necessarily NOT pick an inside mid based on that if you highly rate them - there’s every chance they just didn’t rate sharp becoming that level of inside mid and see - to your point - opportunity next year to fill a potential need- Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
He was chosen then because he was well and truly gone by the time our next pick came around - that also indicates that several other teams were into him as well, not just Melbourne. Youre also comparing two entirely different players when referring to sparrow?- Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
He avg 10 disposals and kicked four goals in his debut (avg just under two for the games he played)….it may have been a reach but he has attributes we’re crying out for- The 2025 AFL Draft Thread
Silly question - why did it become pick 30?- AFL Draft 2025: Pick 30 (formerly 37)
Why did it become pick 30?- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
Totally get that - just find it odd that he said we’ll pick best avaliable rather than reach & the only mocks the have narin anywhere near the top 20 are ones that have picked up the link with Melbourne…- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
I think it’s also important for fans to not get overhyped about drafts and wanting to draft all the players in one draft - there’s every chance next draft we’re extremely thankful of having that GC pick because there’s someone else that we all love around that mark- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
Am I insane or is Narin at 7 or 8 crazy based on draft projections? Surely if we’re that into him, we’re looking at splitting a pick- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
Probably need that & something else, but don’t hate it…really depends what the draft is also looking like next season - don’t want to get too caught up in going all in on one draft- Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
Would be boarder line malpractice to draft him at #8 - he has not had a better campaign than Dovaston & is simply being inflated on name alone here- PREGAME: Rd 02 vs North Melbourne
