GWS slaughtering Carlton.

GWS are frightening. Not only do they have all that talent but they are reaching their potential comfortably

Complete opposite to the MFC

I'm enjoying watching the game... Cameron is getting back to his previous form. Such a smart player.

wow that is a smashing the blues got. I wonder where the media will go this week, I guess it also depends if Richmond get thrashed tomorrow. But surely the blues getting thrashed by gws is another big story and mick will cop more heat. Carlton people have just run out of patience.

Sydney and Geelong is a fantastic game. Both teams going really hard - great to watch.

Take your pick

Melbourne?

Carlton?

Suns?

Two more possible candidates tomorrow depending on what the Tigers and Lions do

Posted

First coach sacked in 2015?

Malthouse

Hardwick

Leppa

Other?

Surely Carlton have to make the move on Malthouse sooner rather than later

Just turned over to watch a bit of West Coast vs Gold Coast during 3QT of the other game. Wow. This competition is so uneven at the moment. There are some seriously pants teams around at the moment.

Didn't you hear the AFL's press release, Nasher? The competition has never been more even! Plus... um... equalisation... and stuff!

Anyone see Stevie J give McVeigh one in the nuts, with the real ball nowhere in sight?

Can't wait for his excuse: "I was actually trying to punch him in the stomach, Your Honour."

He's as dirty as he is arrogant.

Well, at least we can take comfort in knowing that Gold Coast is worse than us. 2 goals to 17 at the moment against West Coast.

Rodney Eade could well be this era's Malcolm Blight at this rate.

The AFL don't know the meaning of the word.

They think if you play all the lower level sides against each other in the first few games that is equalisation. What a bunch of weak ...what Goddard said ...who can't stand up for the competition and make the hard decisions.

2 goals in 3 quarters. Yikes. I called 100 points+ to WC before the game even started and was laughed at. Feeling chuffed right about now!

As for Stevie J, dirty sniper who makes up for a lack of brain cells with a surplus of stupidity. And only a week after what happened to his teammate's [testicles], absolutely braindead [censored].

Ah, and there goes our record breaking loss today! Thanks Gold Coast!!! (for the four points, too)

And by 'pants' you mean 'awesome', RIGHT?

Seriously, what a sad individual I have become that I am taking perverse pleasure in the Suns score and calculating what sort of frenzy would be required for a West Coast to win by 191.

Rjay watching today was like Pioneers versus Blackburn United as I vaguely remember a grossly uneven under 17 competition all those years ago.

Very similar 'Earl'. A few teams at the top then the rest were easy pickings.

The AFL is getting the feel of a local junior league about it these days, probably become just a local curiosity in a few years if they don't get their act together though.

Gil has his priorities in order though -- looking after the drug cheats by hanging out with their president all night Friday.

Wonder if he was hanging out with PJ today, helping brainstorm ideas for struggling clubs?

Posted

The good news is our losses have been to the top 5 sides.

NB until the WC v GC game finishes...

Our losses have been to teams numbered 1, 3, 4 5 and 6. Next week we play 8. Then 10. Then 7.

It might have looked easy last year, but we've actually copped a hellishly difficult draw on 2015 form.

Top six teams banned from Free Agency trades each year and bottom six teams divy up the first 10'draftbpicks each year, first six picks go in order of how they finish, the next 4 picks go into a lottery or even go to the teams that finish in the top 4 of the bottom six so as to stop teams tanking. That is at least would be a start to equalisation in the modern era.

    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

    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.

    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
