Obviously this is the round of the celebration game disappointments.

Last night, the Blues celebrated Mick Malthouse's record of 715 games and lost by 13 goals.

Today, North Melbourne celebrated the 40th anniversary of their first premiership and lost by 10 goals.

Tomorrow, Freo celebrates the departure of Colin Sylvia. They're in trouble.

It will be a draw... we're celebrating Watts' 100th game.

No chance Hodge will be available to play against us and Lewis is a maybe. What was with that goal review that clearly hit the post but they called it a goal?

The first one from 30 out that hit the left post, or looked like it did, wasn't conclusive enough so they went with umpires decision. It looked like it hit from one angle, but I dunno if it did for sure.

The one on the goal line that hit the goal umpires arm then the post amazed me, I can't believe common sense prevailed after that Eddie Betts NAB goal. Finally.

Is it just me or does there seem to be far more score reviews at Etihad than anywhere else?

I agree for the one when it hit the umpire. The other one I am 100% sure it hit the post and it looked verry obvious to me from the down the ground view.

While that's true, if you read some of the ridiculous overblown criticism of Jack from some of the posters on DL, that's no cause for celebration and therefore doesn't count.

It's a bit like the war between Iran and Irak in the 80s. Nobody cares much who wins.

Yes, because talking about a game of football is indicative of performance during war. I'm sure half a million dead from Iran and IraQ would back you up on that one WJ.

I usually have respect for your posts WJ. Not this time.

Essendon get lucky again because Schneider can't kick a goal from 10m out directly in front.

Couldn't bring myself to watch, but drugs obviously help in tight finishes

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
