95% humidity during the game.

Absolute lunacy that this game is going ahead.

It's no wonder only the desperate clubs chase this dragon.

Next weeks opponent will be licking their lips watching tonights game.

Are we allowed an extended bench for this waterworld extravaganza?

Have you even bothered to look at a weather forecast or is just your aim to shoot off your mouth at something you disagree with?

It'll be lucky to crack 50% humidity there today the way things are going. Geez, it's not the middle of the bloody wet season!!

Ok so your expert advice is that by game time it will be 90% humidity? I am up here and it does not feel that humid. And yes I too have experience of the tropics.

then you should know the humidity goes up at night.

I hope it doesn't for the players sake. They are a very important asset.

Yes it does but not that much. The biggest problem is a slippery ball.

Big outs for Brisbane. J.Brown and M.Golby are out.

Kent is our sub.

If we are as passive tonight (this arvo) as last week, we'll get murdered.

Meek, mild mannered, temperate Melbourne.

I mucked up my alliteration.

I don't know if I just had rose coloured glasses on but I didn't think we were meek and mild mannered last week. I just though Geelong were that bloody good that even though our players busted their bodies to win the ball, Geelong just had that better poise and ability to smash us.

You're probably right.

I just got really [censored] off at Johnson's knee into Nate's jaw and none of the players remonstrated.

Kelly playing up to the crowd, trying the impossible snap.

Bartel doing whatever he liked.

Half arsed attempts at tackles.

Geelong didn't even pretend to show any respect to their opponent.

Oh, well - maybe because they don't have to.

Interesting team line-up on the AFL App. Seems a better structure than that in this morning's papers (Kent is the Sub.).

Up Here on the NSW coast with Mrs Frankie, the son and heir and the two daughters (to be fair, also heirs to the frankie_d fortune). No tv and no radio so relying on this thread and Twitter. I have a VG bottle of red which had already been put into service.

Go Dees !

Can we forgive Dunn for missing a handball in these conditions, or missing a target when kicking across goal ?

NEVER

    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

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
