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?

Reckon this will be a tough round to tip.

Hawks the only certain thing in my book...

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

Early running says I don't know what I'm talking about.

It's actually been a good game to watch so far. Neither side will factor in the finals this year but at least we've seen a few goals early on for a change.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
