The original Afl.com.au article listed Buddy in the headline and then 5 mins later was changed. I made the necessary changes to the title of the thread.

They must keep up to date via Demonland.... :)

It's no wonder this site is highly ranked D'land. ;)

    Both of them will be seriously short of a gallop; the Hawks can play them at their peril.

    Batemans out as well, wont get the Hawks at a better time

    Be careful!

    I remember in round 1 2008, they were missing Crawford, Hodge, Lewis, Brown and couple of others...and still beat us by 104 points.

    Bring on The Dawks with all there Available Players. Good.

    Round 1 is a good time to play any team.

    That's what i was thinking.

    I actually would have liked them to come at us full strength. It bothers me when a team has half it's side out, we get close (or battle manfully) and then people suggest that they "weren't at full strength anyway." Also it kind fo shows us where we need to improve.

    For that reason, I can't wait to see us up against the Cats at HOPEFULLY full strength. We find out a lot about the 22 that week. I remember Bailey said something like this last season.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
