Did we not win a Prelim game this year against those fabulous Tigers?

I noticed today that a couple of rocket scientists from the AFL world have been punching up in a lane.

Namely a Mr.GA Snr. and a Mr.RN

A credit to industry that pair.

 

Insert random banana comment to keep things moving ...

I'm certainly feeling a new man.

To be expected. What's his name?

Am told by a Carlton mate that they are heavily into Shiel and Jaksch (however you spell it). Both are Blues fans. They seem to be mentioned when any player's name comes up.

They did pick up 4 players from other clubs last year and seem to have hit some form.

I can see Roos trading if possible, with some of our better picks.


Schoolboy smut. What a disgusting lot you are!

There you go again, talking about schoolboys. Poor Jesse doesn't know what's in store for him tomorrow.

given craigieburn is a suburb of greater romsey i expect you'll be at the game bbo?

expect an in-depth game report a'la saty complete with player interviews

Well you smartarses, now that I've discovered the game begins at 11.00 am - I may not be able to comment on Jesse's excellence. What is the logic behind the timing? Please .. I need to know this.

Didn't you know dc? BBO is the new Saty, with new and improved venom.

It's a mere hop, step and a jump from Romsey to Craigieburn. There should be no excuses for missing Jesse Hogan's return and you'll have ample time to make it to the G for the first bounce at 3.20pm.

Not many people can say they watched the Casey Scorpions and the GWS Giants in the flesh on the same day. Now, here's your big chance.

If you go you can be our official correspondent because KC's a doubtful starter on account of the fact that he hasn't been able to start the Kingswood for the last few days and it's a long drive from Cranny to Craigy.

The only reason I can think is that the AFL and the Bulldogs want their reserves players to watch the games the seniors team's involved in later in the day so as to give the appearance that there's actually a crowd at their game. It makes for a better look on Foxtel.

Don't worry WJ, I'll pull my weight!

Good lord! All this talk of dc peeking into Roosy's kimono and BBO pulling his 'weight' makes a real man like me want to vomit! You guys need to get a room together.


Does your doctor know you are up well past your bedtime bitty? Or are you at the 24 hrs gym doing the big 2 mins on the treadmill?

He's blacked out early tonight.

 

yeah those 11am starts are killers

Shouldn't you be mixing up the metamucil?

I'm surprised your latest conquest hasn't got her teeth in the jar and the curlers in.

The eyes of the football world are well and truly on this thread - not just because Hogan is under discussion but because of the fact that the commentary here is all over the Essendon doping scandal.

The word is out that every day last week before the Federal Court sittings began, the various counsel in the case including Middleton J would log in to Demonland to see if they could get a better appreciation of the issues under discussion from this very thread.

According to his tipstaff, the good judge was spending more time in his briefs eating banana after banana and, during an adjournment in proceedings, placed a call to the management of the Gat about the availability of lodgings there.

You are shaping the future of the AFL if not the world.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
