Round 1 was fantastic footy across the board.

Looking forward to Round 2, particularly as we could see us sitting 2-0 and Geelong sitting 0-2 (i come from that way, so the hate is huge as their fans are painful bandwagon jumpers).

Also, please leave your praise for me below, as i have created a Game Day thread. Thanks H_H.

yes, it has. It may be thought a jokey comment today, maybe, but is it really? Why would any of us watch Essendon games? Every time they have any success, HH's comment must spring to mind. How can

AFL tradition dictates that by the end of round 1 at least one coach must be under the gun.

This year it's Mick Malthouse whose neck is already on the line and it's not helpful that his most vocal critic is a former Carlton great ~ Mick Malthouse shouldnt be re-signed by Carlton as coach, says Mark Maclure.

Not only are Carlton people trying to take the Micky out of their coach, they want to take Micky out of Carlton.

He might get some respite on Friday night because the Blues take on the Eagles who have lost a big chunk out of their defence already and Carlton has a good record at Subiaco but I suspect that the pressure will continue to mount as the season unfolds unless there's a sudden turnaround in form.

Mick Malthouse says Channel 7 and network reporter Mark Stevens have an agenda against him

But the other clubs have taken a chunk out of their forward line.

Why don't we all start Round 2 game day threads? At the end of the day we can total up the number of replies in each and declare the winner the most popular poster on Demonland (for the week).

I hope Hawthorn absolutely obliterate the drug cheats by over a hundred points, to keep the demoralising culture at Windy Hill intact.

Love that the AFL tried to rig the fixture with the expectation of a topup team playing the early parts of the season, only to end up giving their full team the hardest start to the season one could imagine.

I haven't had a look at Essendrugs fixture, but is it possible they have "drawn" the harder team's first because the AFL knew they'd have the cheats good to go for the first month or so, and then when the stand-ins are required they get an easier run? Like they had us and GWS in the NAB, and then round 1 &2 last year's cup winners and runners up back to back?

Should be some good footy this weekend, with the Richmond-Bulldogs, Port-Swans, Coll-Adelaide and Freo-Geelong matches all shaping up as potentially great games.

What a shame to have the round kicking off again with a second-rate club like Carlton. Hope they get thumped tonight and Mick and Stevo get in a punch-up at the post-match presser.

Carlton look like getting smashed tonight. I need popcorn.

Not sure about that (hope youre right though)

While Calrton do suck, the Eagles wont be much better this season and are missing their 2 best key defenders

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
