I like to spread my animosity widely. However, I have decided I currently hate two things above all else. Brad Scott and Chris Scott. For that reason I'm praying for an upset at the G today.

With all the stupid markets betting agencies offer on each game, why don't they offer a price on free kick counts? Would it be too easy to pick?

Bookies would be wiped out after the first Weagles match.

Totally understandable. I'm hoping for a scrappy sh!tty game that neither side can take anything positive from.

Watching the Cats game right now, I don't feel so bad about our game against the Bombers as I did at 1 o'clock this afternoon.

Amazing, you take one guy out of the coaches' box and suddenly Essendon are much easier to cheer for.

 

To be fair, I'm not so much cheering for Essendrug but hoping for the demise of that sanctimonious fcuk

By my count, Geelong have kicked 1.14 in their last 15 scoring shots.....

To me, a team that kicks like that deserves to lose.

Don't disagree! But unfortunately it doesn't look like they will. Have kicked two majors since.....

Geelong's had 16 scoring shots in the second half (4.12) to Essendon's 2 (1.1).

If Geelong had lost they would have had no one to blame but themselves, but they've won because they deserve to win.

Nonetheless, it shows Essendon is going to push some sides this year (other than us). On current form, Brisbane would have to be worried about picking up the spoon this year.

Have St Kilda gone past us?

level against the premiers at 3qtr time.

I'm pretty sure they were past us last year. Not by much but their ageing stars help them. We don't have that.

My hatred of umpires gifting Hawthorn with Free kicks is inflamed by Fox commentators agreeing with them.

Posted

Now I only watched the last qtr but dare I say the Saints were robbed?? 2 uncalled 15m marks in a row and then that one that hawthorn took the advantage and were given it back!

Hard to beat Hawthorn when they have the umps on their side.

Saints are on the way up. Great drafting, kept experience around to ease the youngsters in. Saints and Dogs setting standards on how to rebuild after falling. That was a great tussle.

Damm Hawks! I picked St Kilda in my footy tipping and nearly pulled off an upset! We better show the Saints the same respect we gave the Roos (c.f. the lack of respect we showed the Bombers)!

    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

    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
