It's taken till half way through the 3rd quarter before they finally delivered a proper ball to one of their forwards.

Serves Adelaide right. I always thought it was the wrong thing to do when the slacked off in Round 23.  Karma.

What
What

The premiership was there for the taking this season, the most even ever. Richmond took their chances, which is more than can be said for our club.  They deserve the flag.

It shouldn’t be deliberate when the opposition can actually grab the ball before it goes out

This would have to be the most insipid performance by a team that dominated a season that i have ever seen. Not even giving a yelp. And if anyone thinks that Lever is worth even one first round pick then you have got rocks in your head.

Well, what is Pike doing.

Needs to inject something into the game.

Lever forward, Otten back...

Still waiting Pike...fiddling while the MCG burns.

You're going down but at least do something.

It took a few weeks but this could be the karma for throwing the round 23 game. 

The way they are playing today, I don't think they thew it.  Tex has done nothing, just like 3/4 of the rest of their side.  Adelaide would have to be one of the flakiest minor premiours in a number of years.

Agree with the first part.

But Lever is the only defender that's been half decent under pressure. Not perfect, but half-decent. Their other defenders are an absolute rabble.

This could start to get real ugly.

Tigers have played Grand Final footy; high pressure, contested. They've made mistakes but any time they have they've jumped straight back into the contest and won it back. 

Tigers are still definitely getting the rub of the umps but they've been in the contests for longer and that usually is rewarded.

I've been waiting all game to see some sort of game plan from Adelaide. Might get to see it in the last Q when Richmond is 50pts up and doing laps of honour... but geez. They have put in a shocker. No plan, no forward line, no idea.

No way does Martin get the Norm Smith medal. Houli by a mile. 

The Crows just so fumbly and overawed. I don't get the unrating of Lever. For the most part he has been onenof their better players.

Crows gone unless Tex steps up.

They've been poor up forward.

Expect it of Jenkins, I don't really rate him...watch him win them the game now that I've said that.

...but seriously he plays like a rover in a big mans body. Looking for the crumbs.

Nup, I was right the first time.

Leave him off the last Q, he's a total liability on the ground.

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    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
