Baffled, perplexed, bewildered. Just some of the adjectives to describe how many Storm fans and Coach Craig Bellamy were feeling about the disappointing loss to the Dolphins. A heavy defeat, conceding 40 unanswered points was embarrasing and not something you would expect from a Melbourne Storm team, one that is under the coaching of Craig Bellamy. Stormy Daniel reviews the heavy defeat at length, with many listener questions asking what happened? Something that I'm sure Bellsa himself is still scratching his head over and why the performance was so poor. Stormy Daniel covers off on what's making Storm news, throwback team list, along with team list Tuesday for the Storm's ANZAC Day clash with the Rabbitohs. 'Lest We Forget'.

A comprehensive 42-14 win over the Wahs, making it 17-straight wins over the New Zealand based franchise, despite many perceiving that the Warriors were the Storm's bogey team. History and results would suggest otherwise. The Storm now head north to Brisbane to take on a spirited Dolphins side, who after a slow start to Season 2025 have found form, knocking off the defending 4-peat premiers in the Panthers last week. Kristian Woolf will certainly have his players up for the Round 7 clash, led by former Storm player in Felise Kaufusi. Stormy Daniel covers off on what's making Storm news, throwback team list, answers your listener question's and goes through team list Tuesday with a preview of Storm's clash with the Dolphins on Good Friday.

Is there a better feeling than walking out of Brookvale Oval with the two points? I think not. If there's one game Storm are to win all season, it's this one against their arch rivals the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, a hatred that stems back to 2007 and still lives on today. The two clubs despise one another, with players in both teams having knowledge of the history between the pair. Stormy Daniel reviews the Storm's big win, covers off on what's making Storm news, listener questions, throwback team list and TLT, who's in and who's out for the Storm's Round 6 clash with the Warriors this weekend at AAMI Park.

A disappointing loss in less than favourable conditions conditions, where Storm were taught a lesson on how to grind out a victory in wet weather by the Dragons. Stormy Daniel reviews the unexpected loss St George Illawarra, covers off on what's making Storm news including junior and feeder team update, throwback team list, team list Tuesday - who's in, who's out for the grudge match against Manly for another instalment of the Battle of Brookvale - and lastly your listener questions.

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.

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. Las Vegas has been and gone and now its time for the real thang!! It's redemption season for Storm, beginning their 2025 Premiership assault against the Eels in Round 1. The Blue and Gold have always been a team that traditionally can trouble the Storm with their style of play and will undoubtedly have a few tricks up their sleeve with former Storm player turned Assistant Coach imparting his knowledge of the Storm system and how best to limit Melbourne's impact and effectiveness with the ball and exploit the Storm in D. Stormy Daniel covers off on what's making Storm news, including Ryan Papenhuyzen setting the record straight on Coach Craig Bellamy's medical diagnosis of his injury. Team list Tuesday, with a deep dive into the dangers that lurk in the Eels team.

Pre-Season Challenge is done and dusted and Storm treated the concept for what it is, glorified trials. Stormy Daniel gives his opinion on the Storm's indifferent pre-season challenge form and if it is a cause of concern or take both performances with a grain of salt, as has been in the case in previous seasons, with train and trial, feeder team players and U21's emerging talent being used across the fortnight. What's making Storm news, including an important injury update, which player has impressed Captain Harry Grant in pre-season, listener questions and a blast from the past segment, looking at an old team list from yesteryear and reminiscing on some of the names who donned the purple jersey with distinction.
