Not sure why people are worried about who's going to line up against us next week v West Coast when we have a big assignment against the Bullies who get back four of their better premiership players for this Sunday's "season defining" game at Etihad.

What happened to one week at a time?

Boring.

It's more efficient to do one week at a time two weeks at a time. Economy of scale.

Clubs and players have their cliches so here's some other mangled cliches to help answer your question: If you're not looking at the big picture then you're not seeing the woods for the trees

AFL.com.au click bait states "a star saint in doubt" but you when I clicked through to the story I find out that it's only Joke Carlisle who is in doubt to play...

Also an update to my post last night that Mitchell had been reported, it was actually Selwood reported for striking Mitchell (not the other way around), but Mitchell still likely to be looked at by MRP for his attempt to strangle Selwood in response... (If only MRP stood for Melbourne Review Panel - he'd be out for sure.)

Any ladder-obsessives  to tell me whom I should support tonight - St Kilda or North?   (Personal prefernece is of course St Kilda, but the ladder looms.)

Hmm it's a tough one, but I think I'll actually be going for the Saints. Although they are only game behind us I think North are stronger and will end up as more of a challenger. I also hate North.

Not really sure though.

Short term a North win is better as it would then leave both teams a game and a lot of percentage behind. Long term who could ever know the way this year has gone.

North's run home is not  too bad

The only teams they play who are now in the 8 are Essendon, Port and us.

St Kilda have a much tougher run with Richmond twice, Port, Eagles , Essendon and us plus a game against the Swans in Sydney .

Based on the run home a North loss might be best at this stage.

North for sure. Will put both teams at 5-7 with percentages below 100.  So while they will both still be in the finals hunt,  they'd both need to win 7 of their last 10 games making it hard for either to make it, and extremely unlikely both make it.

Going for a draw.

That will shaft them both equally.

not really.  They may both end up 2 points ahead of us with poor percentages.  Better that one of them is 4 points worse and may battle us on percentage.  Trouble is which one, and guessing what happens to them in the rest of the year. 

Pertraccattack and Diamond Jim are both equally persuasive.  Arrggghhhhh.....

Just on a different match, I find it incredible that Richmond (on the betting side of things) is going in as the underdog vs Sydney at the MCG. 

I know pretty much everyone agrees that Richmond aren't as good as their 4th placing has them, and Sydney aren't as bad as they're 14th placing has them, but it just seems completely backwards.

We really have to put Norf away or we are going nowhere.

North are an unknown unknown .

Saint are a known unknown.

If you know what I mean.

Huge crowd at Etihad. 

Yawn. 

Nought v The Aints

and Bruce....

The crowd is amazing ..... they had more for Carlton v GWS last week on a cold afternoon.

You wouldn't think this is a game between two old Melbourne clubs fighting for their season

Thought I'd jump on here and see a stream of people complaining about how we "shouldn't have" lost against the Roos. Turns out I was wrong. Maybe Demonland is maturing.

I was waiting until they're 10 goals down, but at this rate I won't be waiting long

I doubt it, Chook.  Just give it some time.

Give Shuey a week for the hit on Dangerfield please.

Low impact, unintentional, contact actually initiated by the player lying on the ground. No cause to suspend Shuey. It would be a travesty for him even to be fined for it. The MRP should apologise to Shuey for wasting his time. Case closed !!!!!

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
