  1. He’s at it again! This time, his subject is Blake Howes.
  2. … and who else to be the public front of Melbourne’s return to training but Jake Lever? Dees make a strong return to training: Lever
  3. I googled Melbourne Football Club Training Times and was directed to this - https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/training-times
  4. Where are our intrepid on the spot reporters? Is complacency already sinking in?
  5. Among the things we learned at today’s celebration of the 2021 premiership is that preseason training starts tomorrow. Not sure where or whether the entire list will be on hand but I’m told that we start our campaign with little in the way of injuries to worry about at this stage. We also know some of our interstaters are still home - Luke Jackson and Kozzie Pickett along with our WA recruits who most likely will remain in WA until post Christmas. We look forward to the return of our track watchers and the arrival of new ones on the scene.
  6. Watching the second quarter was magic - the mosy important quarter of the game. The time when we made then work their butts off to get the ball out of their defence. Another 15 minutes in the third and they were so stuffed they couldn’t raise a gallop for the rest of the game. Robbo and his band make Birds of Tokyo look almost like Meatloaf.
  7. Outside the David Neitz Pavilion waiting for the Cup to arrive.
  8. Loving this… IMG_7838.MOV
  9. American folk singer, Steve Goodman was a classmate of Hillary Rodham Clinton back in their native Chicago in the 1950s where both grew up as fans of the Chicago Cubs who played baseball out of the famous Wrigley Field and had long been denied of the ultimate in the sport’s success. Goodman was a devoted Cubs fanatic and when he wrote "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request", they had already waited seven long decades to reach the pinnacle of a triumph in the World Series and were to wait four more before winning it at last in 2016. The song resonates with all sports fans who follow teams that seem perennially doomed to failure and, until very recently, it was an anthem for us long term supporters of the Melbourne Demons, forever hoping for a miracle in their lifetime. Today at the MCG, we will gather together at our game’s birthplace and our team’s spiritual home to watch a replay of a sporting contest that took place in another place at a time when we were all locked down and isolated from our team. We’ll mingle with each other, meet the players and catch a glimpse of the premiership cup. We’ll be there to celebrate the miracle of victory and also to bury forever the curse that hung long over our shoulders as it did for poor Steve Goodman who succumbed to leukemia in September, 1984 at the young age of 36. This isn’t just for us — it’s for Steve and for all sports fans who missed out on the opportunity to savour a day like today.
  10. It was this game in late August that kicked off the truncated National Championships that was the clincher for Van Rooyen EYECATCHERS: Votes are in for the WA v SA U19s Champs clash
  11. Apparently won a basketball premiership yesterday.
  12. The idea is definitely growing on me. Fancy having around four months to play the last time they met over and over again and then reliving the sequel in person?
  13. Rookie Me Central’s look ahead into 2022. 22 in 2022: A look ahead to next year’s top prospects

  16. Wednesday night Dees-Dogs opener The AFL is expected to release the first nine rounds of its men’s 2022 fixture next week with an opening round that features a grand final rematch between Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs on the MCG as the season opener on the Wednesday night. Now that it’s official - your thoughts?
  17. It could be that we start both the women’s and men’s seasons in 2022 against the Bulldogs. Saints to kick off AFLW season in Frankston against Richmond
  18. 2021 AFL Draft review: Melbourne
  19. I’m waiting for the moment on the replay in the third quarter when Bontempelli kicks the goal to put the Bulldogs 19 points in front. Wondering how many MFCSS infested people are going to get up and storm out staying, “I’ve had enough of this!”
  20. It’s unlikely that the club will need to resort to the Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period unless a long term injury crops up. AFL confirms rookie rules for SSP, Mid-Season Draft
  21. We can let Stuart Dew worry about it now.
