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.

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.

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 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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
