Having watched our mighty team prevail last night and the Bombers vs. the Pies this afternoon, we could well have a very good year. Both "finals contenders'" and they were both rubbish! Bring it on!

Lets wait till we have played one of them.

I only saw bits and pieces of the game but it didn't look any good. Probably due to the heavy rain, but I'd rather believe that Collingwood and Essendon are just average sides.

Heppell is a star isn't he. Makes you wonder how he lasted so long in his draft year...until you remember the nefarious shenanigans the Peptides put together to ensure he fell...

What is his contract status? ;-)

And, remind me, was he recruited before or after they started using "the good stuff"?

I wonder how Guy Mckenna feels right now?

Didn't he get shafted good and proper.

I think we are seeing some of the fallout with GC's poor start to the season. I thought it was very poor form to sack him.

Huge crowd at Star Track stadium. It must be disappointing to get drafted to these teams when you look at the Blockbuster games. I suppose they're laughing all the way to the bank.

Unfortunately, Cam McCarthy might take rising star honours this week. Four goals in a half of footy.

There was minimal rain in the first half and they were no better. Both sides were beatable on today's display!

Anyone else relieved St Kilda took McCartin? Early days I know but the guy needs a full year in the VFL.

At this stage the number 3 pick was the best of the draft.

Essendon are our bunnies anyway....

Hilarious to see BF forums raving about Cripps today. Because it's so impressive to dominate against a basket case like St Kilda.

Meanwhile, Hogan embarrasses last year's AA defender in Alex Rance, AND kicks two goals in wet conditions. Not even a contest for rising star.

We arent the only team that GWS are going to score heavily against in 2nd halves; Their running power is amazing,

IMO, GWS and Adelaide will both make finals this year (and pretty comfortably too). I think that puts our loss in Round 2 into perspective. Horrific 2nd half, but against better opposition that a lot of people were giving them credit for.

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    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
