  • Episode 8: Complacency is a dirty word and habit

    Episode 8: Complacency is a dirty word and habit
    Mar 25 2025
    Winning doesn't have to be pretty and it certainly wasn't against the reigning Premiers, coming away victorious with an uncomfortable 30-24 win. Complacency was evident. Melbourne were guilty of taking their foot off the gas after an injury to Cleary and jumping to a 14-nil lead. Something that I'm sure Coach Craig Bellamy would have ripped them a new one for. But 2 points is 2 points and the Storm will bank them and move on to Round 4 where they will be coming up against a motivated Dragons outfit fresh off the Bye. Stormy Daniel covers off on what's made Storm news this week, specifically on the injury toll and junior and feeder team reports from last week's Round. A Throwback Team List from 2010 against the Dragons, who's in and who's out for Round 4 and lastly, your listener questions.

    Episode 7: Revenge firmly on the mind as Grand Final rematch ensues
    Mar 19 2025
    Fresh off the 'Bye', Melbourne head into Round 3 coming up against the reigning Premiers, the 4-peat Panthers in what is the first time the two teams havemet since last year's Grand Final. Penrith coming off a shock loss to an understrength Roosters outfit will be keen to atone their Round 2 performance and will certainly lift and raise the intensity and effort for the Grand Final rematch. Storm have their own motivation which needs no explanation, but it will not reverse the heartache and disappointment of last year's missed opportunity, but will be a chance to exorcise some demons whilst getting the all important two premiership points. Stormy Daniel covers off on what's making Storm news, a throwback team list Tuesday from yesterday, team list Tuesday and preview of the big clash against the mountain men from Western Sydney.

    Clincal, methodical, professional, relentless - just some of the superlatives that one can use to describe Storm's Round 1 performance against the Eels. Melbourne kick started their 2025 Premiership campaign off with a bang, with an impressive 56-18 win over the Parramatta Eels. As close as a perfect half of football you could come to expect in the first 40 minutes. It was exceptional viewing with Storm sending out a strong message to the rest of the competition, their redemption tour has begun, keen to atone the disappointment of falling short in last year's Grand Final. And if the result in Round 1 is anything to go by, Melbourne Storm mean business. Stormy Daniel reviews the game, covers off on what's making Storm news in the Bye week, waxes lyrically about the Stan 'Inside the Storm' documentary and answer's listener questions.

    Pre-Season Challenge is done and dusted and Storm treated the concept for what it is, glorified trials.
