Have great memories of Ballyshannassy Park, playing Gridiron as an 18 y.o and nearly getting killed every week 😄

    Think DL could turn really feral if we lose to the Saints:

    My main concern for the game is how well Max recovers from watching the Giro D'Italia final competitive stage last night.

    Plus there's the let-down of commuting through the dreary 'sameness without theme' of an Australian city after watching the landscape of Northern Italy go past for five hours.

    Hopefully it manifests in anger. A real 'I will create something beautiful today and nothing will stop me' moment.

    Some credit probably should go to our former list manager Barry Prendergast, quick shoutout.

    Great article by Langdon, who praises Goody and the Club Culture, for putting players’ welfare first, as evidenced by him being allowed to miss the Eagles game to attend his sister’s wedding in London.

    He said the club was a great place to be and play football with as they really cared about their players.

    That is a fantastic advertisement for any player thinking of moving clubs.

    I read that same article and thought similar 

    a really great advert for the playing group and their “culture “

    Pretty ordinary behaviour by Dogs fans booing Lobb.

    It could put off other players from going there and staying there.

    On a different note, remember when decimate meant to destroy one tenth? I'm no good at calculating percentages but the evolution of decimate to mean largely destroy does my head in...

    Thank you, DP. You are not alone.

    • 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.
