Matty Lloyd!

Not sure I hate him anymore.

 

I've always loved Lloyd & Kingy ?

 

6 of them had us in the 8. Including Loyd, Brerton, King and Jay Clarke.  King had us as high as 5th. Not sure Ive always found him that reliable but he DID pick the Neeld diaster before anyone else. Lets hope they're right. 

8 of them thought Stkilda for the 8. I have sense it may be them or us.

Mick Malthouse is obviously still bat [censored] crazy.

Agreed.

I would have also included Paul Keating's top eight. About as meaningful as a number of expert opinions offered here.

That magazine cost $4.95

haha as if i would shell out a fiver to read any analysis by Mark Robinson. 

I am hoping he gets sacked mid season before any coaches. 

 

 

Jon Ralph is the type of guy to bet   $100 on Black Caviar for the place.

he never gets it right and he belongs on SEN for that.

mid season there will be a few who try to get on the Demons bandwagon but I hope not too many.

the Pharisees and oracles never saw the Bulldogs coming, never saw Leicester,Cronulla,Brexit or Trump.

glad to be under rated at this stage of the year.

we will finish fourth or higher in my opinion.

Glad we helped the Blues to five bottom choices.

Last week Ralph suggested that a player had a hypertension of the knee.

Not kidding.

Of Course Essendope to finish in the 8 according to Slobbo!

I think the top 8 predictions show who are at least capable of recognising a list with young developing talent that is due to ripen, and those that just follow the pack.

I'm with Sam Edmund on some of those sackings. Hinkley will be close to gone if port finish bottom 6.

Cooney with Port Adelaide in the top eight says a lot about Cooney.

He grew up in Port Adelaide heartland so I think he’s just being loyal.

Agreed- he's predicting we'll beat Hawthorn in a final - that would really add spice to the Jordan Lewis trade....love the thought of that happening (only mild payback for the grannie in 88)

I could be wrong but I believe Lloyd was a Dees supporter when a kid.

Giants

swans

cats

dogs

hawks

saints 

crows

dees

 

giants win the flag 

blues the spoon

callan ward the Brownlow 

I like Lauren Wood's statement.

Most likely we could win the same amount of games as St.Kilda, don't know about the other 2 teams though. 

Round 1 is building up to be a cracking game between the Saints considering how many people can't decide which team will make the 8.

I think we will have a better understanding by round 2, I hope we're not disappointed again.

The only surprise in the o.p, is that slobbo didn't nominate the "brave returning, persecuted hero", and new captain, heppell, to win the Brownlow.

I just watched the video of king and Robbo debating melbournes chances, take a look it's good for a laugh, robbo looks like he got his shirt out of a dumpster and even says Jamie bennell was good in the back line last year, think he got him mixed up with Jetta

I agree.

But the point he's making about a ruckman winning the Brownlow is actually addressing an interesting side issue. The Brownlow has been too heavily weighted towards midfielders for the last 20 years. Getting rid of 3rd man up will help true tap ruckman; and limiting interchange to much fewer than now would give key position players a chance of winning.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
