I'm not sure why, but I get the feeling this will be a good round of footy. Or at least an entertaining one.

The only downside to our so-far improved prospects this year is that it matters a lot to us which other team beats which other team.  I'm forced to barrack for teams I hate just because it improves our top 8 prospects.  Arrrggghhhhh!

Yes Bombay. I think Swans but $3.00 for a undefeated team seems crazy

Rampe is in great form BBO but Richards being out for me swings it in Norths favour.

It is cold but conditions still good.

If you're in a Footy Tipping competition, pick Port Adelaide.

That way if we win or lose you'll still be happy!!!!

Suppose that depends how much or what you bet.

North are going to get thumped tonight ,they have had such an easy start to the season.

Their first game Adelaide,currently 8th,they beat by 10 points,same scoring shots though.

                         Lions currently 16th,lions kicked bad,32 shots to 28 not a convincing win.

                         US -- 31 shots each and umpiring gave then that game.

                         Freo currently 18th on the ladder and Freo kicked bad 31 shots to 32.

                        gold coast--15th on the ladder 29 to 26 shots.

                       Then they played the Dogs won,16 shots to 15. close game

                     They then played the Saints,won,11.16  -  11.9.  Saints are 13 th on the ladder.

                    Next up,Essendon, they won,24 shots to 20.

                    and last week,fair enough Carlton they won well.

But tonight they come up against a real team, They don't deserve to be 9--0.

Quietly hoping they do. Know a few Norf supporters and they all need to be taken down a peg or two.

Swans before last week 

in no particular order

wins

carlton

essndon

collingwood (days after drug story broke)

lions (nearly lost)

eagles (SCG, didn't read much into that)

giants ( they meet again soon, Cameron will be there this time, I'm tipping a different result)

hawks (only real scalp to date)

 

losses

crows (got challenged and failed)

tigers (what a joke)

We will know soon enough.

If Norf win I'll eat my hat.

North are better than Swans by a fair margin, played in Sydney makes it interesting.

Norf by as far as you can kick your hat

Hope Swans win, but i don't like either team.

It's such an open season that anyone who makes the 8 this year could win it IMO.

They start so well at the sG, the Swannies.

Going to be interesting to see if Norf have any brash ones and come back from here, they look totally overawed at this point. Massive game and they chitting the bed.

You could argue Hawks were flat last week just like Geelong were. 

Who ever wins I'd be surprised if one team gets flogged.

I was wrong.

    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
