I'm really sick of being told how incredible Heeney is. Yeah, we all know, that's why in an open draft he was the best midfielder available.

Sydney, just the endless charity case of the AFL.

Adelaide still keeping it interesting, but I'd be very surprised if they could get it under 20 points for long. Sydney is just doing enough after that massive first 15 minutes.

There's that 20 point margin. Let's see how long the Crows can maintain this pressure on the Swans' lead.

Commentators just said Eddie Betts is the first small forward since Jeff Farmer in 2000 to get near 80 goals.

And there's that 20 point margin obliterated again in short order by the Swans.

11 seconds before halftime and he does his knee. Just terrible luck for a fella who's had his fair share already.

He?  Who?

It's amazing how close their numbers are at the moment.

Wiz: 249 games / 483 goals

Eddie: 253 games / 479 goals

Adelaide's season ended when they choked in Round 23 against West Coast. Went from two guaranteed home finals and the double chance to one home final and three road trips.

Four different preliminary finalists this year compared to last year. That's a good thing, no matter who the teams are.

Unfortunately, a Geelong-Sydney prelim means one of them will be in the GF and the risk of having 10 out of 12 premierships going to the same three clubs remains.

Easy to forget what a champion the Wiz was.

Was the greatest showman we've had in my lifetime. Brought people through the gates. So many big goal hauls. I Remember 10goals in 2nd half V collingwood. Great childhood memories

Another match with rampant throwing.

It boggles the mind how the umps dept can't work out that having been so red hot on calling frees for anything remotely resembling deliberate out of bounds, that the same approach would work for throwing. As in, if it's not absolutely a clear cut handball, call it as a throw. Then watch as throwing is eradicated in less than one round.

Why they decided they needed to crack down on this "scourge" of deliberate OOB when we routinely have throwing, short kicks, and holding off the ball on a weekly basis beats me.

It's a bloody sad state of affairs when I would actually rather [censored] GWS to win a premiership over either alternative (Geelong or Sydney).

I can't stomach either of these teams winning yet another bloody premiership.

I don't know any GWS supporters.
I know more than enough arrogant Geelong & Swans supporters.
Guess who I'll hear the most gloating from?

    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

    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
