John Butcher - 15 touches, 10 marks, 3 goals at 3 quarter time.  He must be turning the... oh, wait.  It's against Brisbane.

Carry on.

12 behinds I assume?

    Watching Brisbane is so much like watching 2013 Melbourne it's scary.

    Yep, and a stark reminder of how far we've come since then.

    If you get beaten by a side that won't play finals on your home deck by 94 points then you're a disgrace.

    Melbourne 2012-13 style disgrace.

    Leppa will be lucky to be coaching at Xavier College next year.

    You're boring.  You've missed the point entirely and also missed the fact that I said, twice, that I was disappointed in the game last week.  Doesn't mean I have to take a dumb stance about it.  

    I've  missed nothing. You just can't deal with truth. . Must be nice in your make believe World, what with all your excuses and explanations.

    Collingwood did what we should have done. There's no reason we shouldn't have beaten West coast, not really 

    Explain, if you can where the ' dumb' applies.

    The Dees are unfortunately a team who choked more than anyone would care admit.

    This comes down often to resilience and coaching.  We are nowhere near where we need to be or ought to be right now.

    You're such a frustrating poster.  We kick straight, we win.  Pies winning today means zilch and has no reflection on us at all.

    For an 'old' poster you sure do post thoughts that seemingly come from a 5 year old with little knowledge of footy.

    But we did not Wiseblood.

    WCE were in front at the end and thay got the 4 points.

    WE DID NOT WIN

    I really don't want St Kilda to play finals but I would love to see Boomer lose his milestone match, especially after spending the whole week talking about how much he loves himself.

    Now that thats off limits, there's still hope that Port can win 3/4, Saints all 4, the Kangas/Dogs lose 3 or 4 or Eagles lose 4. So little to be entertained by this year. trying to find something.

    You seriously want to go to this club, Prestia?

    Hope the money's worth it. :wacko:

    Prestia was never going to go to Richmond, but if there was any doubt, Exhibit A today.

    Sneaky suspicion that the Dorks will get rolled in the finals. I know they've been great (yadi yada) but they're an injury away from unravelling.

    As long as Geelong don't pinch another flag. I have a feeling whoever wins it this year will be a very ordinary winner. There's no real standout team this season. Yes, I know Hawthorn are two games clear on top, but they've played some ordinary footy at times this year.

    Rance is a sniper when things don't go his way, this myth of him being a super guy is well over blown.

    I still think there's a big chance we'll finish ahead of St Kilda.

    I didn't realise Brisbane rested Martin and Schache last night. Very tanky.

    Both at seasons end surely

    After that brilliant convincing win for the Demons,  there would be nothing better to top off the round than seeing Adelaide beat Essendope by 200 points.

    Leigh Matthews or Brendon Gale would have to go first if either of those two were to get the chop this year.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
