Just heard Nigel Smart From Adelaide on SEN talking about them using the state jumper against Port in the first Adelaide oval game in round two.

Now I must declare Adelaide are the top of my dislike list.

What a pack of Self appointed "the SA team" big heads.

Give me a break guys you are not South Australia, you are a club of the AFL coming out of SA.

I am considering buying a Port membership.

I will be cheering on Port in round two.

We've been playing in the State guernsey for the years except for one slight variation - it's a red V and not a white one.

I have never really liked Adelaide, possibly because of the 1998 finals series, but this arrogance of theirs takes the cake, scone and biscuit for mine ... I'll be cheering with you, OD.

Hes a West Perth boy so he protected from me having anything bad to say against him.

I am planning to go to Melbourne this year to watch Melbourne play at the G.

Any suggestions on what would be the best game to watch?

Depends on if you want the best chance of a win or you want to see how the best teams play?

Robbo continues his fight with the AFL over the drugs issue in the Sun today.

That was a surprise considering it is the anniversary of the Blackest day in Australian sport.

There are a couple of good points in the article IMO.

One year on there has been only one charge and that to a Canberra player.

- No charges for either Essendon or Cronulla .

- ASADA is an under resourced and an underwhelming organization.

To me it beggars belief that one year on we have no charges.

Sorry OD I don't understand what you mean?

I head the word winning before but I don't remember what it actually means in terms of AFL games.

With regards to the WAFL, it involves singing, enjoyment and finally a Premiership but non of these things every happen at the AFL level.

I do know however, that the MFC mainly comes second so you could say its the second best team in the league.

Well I do like games where my heat shows heart, determination, commitment, endeavor.

Have seen that a fair bit from the teams we play.

I will put it simply for you

- Do you want to go to a game that the MFC have a reasonable chance of winning?

or

- would like to see a game where a team plays AFL at a high level?

It will be hard to pick which 5 or 6 games we will win next season but I would give it a go.

Here is my list DF now remember I have only picked Games at the "G"

Games we have a chance of winning

May 10 - Bulldogs

August 17 GWS

Games to see a good side that will play AFL very well.

April 26 - Swans

June 22 - North

July 12 - Cats

I thought about Queens birthday but Airfares will be high, G will be packed with Pies, You will be so high in the top tier you will need your own oxygen and you don't want to see us get done by the Pies.

Now watch everyone fall on me for those suggestions

Well I don't know about you Redleg but I was barracking for the blues. Never really in it I am afraid.

Maybe it's you.

As OD said, it depends on your definition of "best". QB will almost certainly have the biggest crowd, and there is certainly something in hearing a big roar (and even better the silence if we finally manage to knock off the Pies on the big day :lol: ).

There is also something to be said for sitting near the fence when the crowd is small, and hearing what the players say to each other when the play is nearby.

For probability of winning, then the only standout for me is the Giants game late in the season. I suspect, though, if we beat the Eagles in round 2, you will wish that you were there then ... :lol:

If they haven't settled by now, that is one hell of a cup ... :lol:

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
