A couple of things I have learnt from the bye weekend

Bang Bang Bang
in Melbourne Demons

You can be absolutely sure that none of your players get fixed up by the match review panel on the Monday after the bye.

Even so Jack Trengove may still feel a bit nervous until the MRP have met.

    geelong is easily the best of the bunch.

    Possibly, But i consider Geelong an interstate club-They get 8 "easy" games at the Cattery with about 30 opposition supporters.

    No wonder it is a slaughter house!!!!

    Any team that has Mooney or Hawkins in there forward line should not be successful, so i treat them the same as The Filth, Carlscum or Kennettville.

    Why were the Hand bags the only club allowed to keep their home ground advantage, and to actually get just as soft a draw as the Filth???

    Edited by why you little

    i rate their midfield and defence.

    i wish melbourne had kept hold of the mcg for its own purposes and no one else got to play there except when they played us.

    collingwood have done everything very well... but i hate them.

    hawks fans are almost as bad as bombers fans. totally clueless.

    carlton....visy. nuff said.

    west coast are horrible, they are tankers and i hate them. injuries my arse.

    therefore geelong best of the bunch.

    What I learnt from the bye weekend?

    I have no interest in footy when Melbourne aren't playing. I am so disinterested in watching other teams it is probably affecting my ability to make proper assessments of where we are at!!

    It does appear though that an inconsistent form line is not an affliction exclusive to the MFC.

    What you are happy if Carlscum, or Kennett win a flag????

    They are all evil alternatives OD....and if Malthouse is poorly treated it could well help our cause.

    Stick with my "anyone but the PIES"

    If you have to have a second team mine is Hawthorn so no problem for me.

    If we lose to Port all hell will break loose. Here and at the club.

    It's not hyperbole. Port is total rubbish, clearly the worst side in the league (yes, worse than Gold Coast). They have no heart, no spirit, no class, no skill and no structure.

    If we put in the effort we ought to, we'll win by plenty. At least, we should.

    No chance of that whatsoever.

    I was watching the Casey game yesterday very near to where Jack was also watching and I can assure you that he behaved himself, didn't collide with any of the field umpires and didn't sling tackle any of the yahoos in attendance. He's clear and may he be as instrumental in beating Port Adelaide on Saturday night as he was last year (but please let the margin be greater than one point).

    I learned that my life is a lot calmer and stress free when the dees arent playing.

    Im on the lose to Port part ways with Bailey immediately and look to 2012 train. They are a rabble.

    Your 2nd team is whorethorn OD....after what happened in '87 & '88??

    I could never even consider giving the Dorks any of my time, although i will concede the '89 GF is a pure work of art as a game.

    HBO should make a mini series based on it.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
