FMD! What a litany of disaster. That 148 flogging (not a jolly good flogging) by Essendon is seared into the memory. Worse than 186 IMO...

so sad that we have so many disasters to chose from that are candidates for the worst

    My god we have had some horrendous results in round 2 over the years.. Each one so bad in their own way. Let's hope we are the sidr handing out a flogging for once!

    As my posting on here shows, I tend the pessimistic view of the MFC. I certainly wasn't surprised at the performances against Essendon & Carlton last year, as I was expecting the worst leading into both games, especially the Essendon game.

    I don't have the same trepidation about this week's game. I expect us to win and win well, although I can see the nerves coming if we are not in front at quarter time.

    Our Round 1 wins in the last two seasons were "poor" wins.  Gold Coast were severely under manned and GWS played terribly.  Unfortunately the team took far too much baseless confidence from those wins and it was a train wreck the week after.  The talk from the club  leading up to last year in particular was very disturbing..

    This time we had a good win in Round 1. And the talk coming out from the club is much more reserved.

    Tipping a 12 goal win.

    Im hoping for a big win to signal the end of the era where we weren't so sure of what we were going to get.

    God I hope BenKen and Jakes inclusion reads more about keeping them hungry... I'd have Harmes ahead of BenKen (assuming tyson and kent are locks) I like BK and he can do the spectacular and has great pressure, yet drifts out of games and unfortunately his height is problematic... a la Nahas and even C.Daniel... Harmes can win his own ball in the air, but disposal is average -in my humble opinion at least.

    Well Tysons a certainty, you'd think Harmes or Kent to take the other spot. Wonder how bad Maxs wrist is, Spence may get a run after all??

    I must have missed this... I though he had some back tightness...?

    How were Gold Coast severely under manned? They played a pretty strong team with Ablett and Bennell also in that team.

    Ben Kennedy is a better prospect then Harmes in my opinion. Harmes disposal in the JLT series was on par with Paul Hopgood.

    This could be the week we see the dual rucks experiment, if Max pulled up a little sore from his smashing of Hickey last week it might be s good time to bring Spencer into the fold. 

    Having said that if he's fine I wouldn't want to mess with a winning team. 

    In: Tyson, Harmes

    Reports say he was close to BOG, let's give him a crack. He can play both ends of the ground (although I prefer in the forward line) and I'd like to see him rewarded for form.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
