I am guessing St Kilda have one of the easiest draws like every other season  just based on their Round 1 opponent and venue.

Or they get an irrelevant opponent at an irrelevant venue because nobody gives a stuff about the Saints.  There's a reason we've got a blockbuster for Round 1.

I think brissy could be the big improvers this year. Their disposal is still poor though. StKilda only played the last 15 minutes of the game near anything like a decent side should.

Bloody hell after bagging watts hes played a boody good 2nd half.

I’d say acceptable opposed to bloody good. It will be interesting to see how he goes against a team that can actually play football.

Riley Bonner looks a Star, hope we didn’t pass on him

We did indeed pass. We picked Oliver instead, do you think Port would consider a straight swap?

Hehe.

Burn.

Watts may have 3 goals but honestly they have been nothing special. He has been solid though after a lack lustre 1st half. Helps when you get your hands on the ball a bit.

I thought the game had finished and just saw he kicked another. I agree he’s had a good game but yeh Freo’s defence and overall structure is pretty lacklustre.

Watts had a very good 1st half of the season for us last year aswell, let’s just wait and see how he goes

but 20 disposals and 3.3 goals is nothing to be sneezed at

For Weed they wouldn’t.

He wasn’t the right pick, they way overrated their midfield. 

Petracca is a better forward too. So he would’ve filled 2 holes. 

The only hole McCartin fills is his mouth. 

Being an insulin dependant diabetic and playing AFL football cannot be easy.

I agree. Another reason to take Petracca.

Bucks going back to the 90’s with the old kick ins straight to the boundary line. Baffling. Not even attempting coast to coast.

Why don’t teams put a hard tag on Mitchell? They seem happy to let him get his usual 45 odd disposals every game.

    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

    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.
