Intraclub Game Replay
Hi Cam, you would have been better off posting this in the main Melbourne Demons section as very few posters come into the General Discussion section. As for your question, go to the Match Report on the MelbourneFC web page or app, scroll to the end of the report and you’ll find a link there to a full replay.

Farewell Clayton Oliver
I very much doubt he would have returned to his best, and I honestly don’t think he would have been terribly invested in the club, given that, and I’m purely guessing at this point and so may be wrong, he and King didn’t seem to hit it off too well. The other thing is that his delivery (along with Trac’s) had gone right off and he had never been good in front of goals to begin with. Personally, I see his loss as a great opportunity for us to rejuvenate our midfield, with Windsor, Rivers, Pickett, and Culley all likely to spend a lot of time there, along with old stalwarts in Steele and Viney. Exciting times ahead! As for Clarry, I seriously want to see him thrive at GWS, as I think a happy Clarry onfield will see a happier Clarry off field, and god knows he needs that. I’ll be watching him and getting behind him (except when we play them). The change of scenery plus the fact that he’ll have Hogan and Bedford there to keep him company, will do him good, plus GWS losing Green from their midfield will give him the opportunity to prove his worth.

I didn’t like it. I’ve never been a fan of his, although he’s always had excellent guitarists who went on to better things; Ian Rilen being a case in point, playing with Rose Tattoo and then moving on to X and Sardine IV, both infinitely better bands, in my opinion. You seem to have taken my comment personally? Are you related in some way?

He appeared to be touching his knee afterwards as he talked to teammates

I’m a little surprised that the stream quality, apart from it breaking for a bit, is so good. It’s a shame they can’t put up a name with each score, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers

Was that Matthews who scored white team’s only goal?

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 11th February 2026
Actually it’s interesting that you say that… now, my memory is currently as dodgy as, but I seem to recall that a few decades ago, maybe in the Gutnik years, someone was brought into the club to conduct ballet oriented training, to develop their ability to leap, and I’m guessing, to work on their balance.

I wish I could blame my meds, but I was this stupid long before they came along 🤣

Yeah, I know what you mean…there is a lot of grandstanding, which I’m not keen on, but really, I don’t mind the politicking of Springsteen, the Dropkick Murphys, early Midnight Oil, and a number of others as they have pretty much been political animals from the get go. I think that current events around the world have ‘enticed’ politically minded musicians out of the shadows… to me that’s understandable, but I don’t expect others to agree with what I think.

Well, in all fairness, I’d say that maybe less than 2% of those watching Kid Rock would have understood what he was saying.

A premiership player at the club he supported as a kid growing up…every kid’s dream! They can NEVER take that away from him.

I really couldn’t care less to be honest, although I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion. But while we’re going there, how did you feel about the Grand Old Flag being sung in the Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri people, at the 2019 AFL Indigenous Round?

I liked it, you didn’t…no big deal.

Yeah, it’s funny what rocks our boats….for me, I love hispanic/latino rhythms and that performance had it in spades…I’d never heard of Bad Bunny before until the orange teletubbie got triggered, and so it did peek my interest. I reckon he’s a lot better and more interesting than the bulk of artists of that ilk. And I have to say, he wins hands down when it comes to which I preferred between his and Mariah Carey’s effort at the Frozen Olympics. But regardless of any of that, my post was more about what the AFL could do to improve the presentation. I couldn’t give a rat’s if it was overseas or local artists, although I would prefer the latter… just make it a better spectacle.
