I know what you're thinking. Melbourne only wins the opening game of a season once in a blue moon, a rare occurrence involving 13 full moons in a one calendar year. Well, the fact of the matter is

So my wife came home and I was sitting in front of the new tv with fox footy on. She looked at me, looked at the tv, back at me and said "You're a dh" She threatened to cancel my Melbourne trip howe

ITS LIVE ON DEMONOLOGY

Or the AFL Live on phones & tablets. After the chorus from outraged complainants, they seem to have fixed it to allow display on TV's without any fanfare.

There is a 2 week free trial if you sign up via the AFL web pages rather than from within the app (where I don't think that option exists - may b wrong).

No excuses for a poor crowd today.

Except for the fact it's Easter holidays and half of Melbourne's population (incl myself) have gone away for the weekend.

Fwiw, I think we'll put in a good performance but won't come away with the cookies.

On the train MCG bound.

So far iPod has given me:

1st song: High Hopes - Pink Floyd (sounds about right)

2nd song: In a Rut - The Ruts (hope that's not right)

3rd song: Jumpin' Jack Flash - Rolling Stones (maybe something in that?)

I'm worried about this game.

Need to keep the Suns in check on the contested possessions count.

Will be interesting to see how we go in the clearances - this will be key to a win IMO.

Want to see 10 plus tackles each from all of our mids today.

Just heading off boys and girls. Put some hard earned on the dees and hoping the day doesn't end in the usual tears and pitiful drunkeness !

I've got them in my multi BBO. We're out to $3.20, I'll take that.

My wife doesn't know yet, she's at the shops, I'm hoping it's done by the time she gets home.

If I never post again, you know what happened...

Trying not to get too excited but it's a tough one. Let's smash these [censored]s!!

Hope it's better than the Sonos thing I got a while ago. I can still hear Duhwayne no matter what I do.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
