Agree but Tassie not ACT

no watches their local league 

nah.... Suns for Tassie if North doesn't go there first (will be interesting if the AFL put some relocation money on the table after this Tasmanian review ... would upset hawks which makes it doubly good!!)

ACT is not a bad market with Wagga and the Riverina ... has always been strong AFL country. GWS has to be careful though because the AFL wants to maintain the media appearance that there are two Sydney teams

I don't think we were ever quite that bad.

And just glancing briefly at the GW$ Freo game - the Freo skills look about as good as ours were 4 or 5 yers ago.

Why, because they're currently playing Brisbane?

They have repeat games against Adelaide, Geelong, Essendon, Collingwood and St Kilda (at the time the AFL made the picks that was three finalists from last year plus two sides tipped to rise this year, and features none of NM, Carlton, Brisbane or Fremantle, who were tipped to be the year's worst sides).

They have four tough road games (Adelaide, Port Adelaide, West Coast, GWS). And they have to play a home game at Etihad against Sydney.

I fail to see how their draw is soft.

Lions seem to have had a rough draw to start the year. 

- The 4 games so far vs Saints, Demons, Port and Tigers and

- 3 of 4 games intertsteate:  2 trips to Victoria and 1 to Adelaide. 

No wonder they've run out of puff.

Would like to see them win a few especially against the teams I really hate (have only moderate dislike for Lions which is the best I can give to any AFL side).

Hoping Hunt gets his mojo back tonight in the Casey game.

We’d love to see him back to his dashing best on Anzac eve.

I don’t believe Adelaide were trying last night. You can delete all my posts but you can’t hide the truth.

So when will the "integrity board" start their investigation?  LOL

Picked up a snippet on SEN when driving today. They were interviewing Jeremy Howe and asked him how he felt like finally having success after he played for us. The tyres are getting pumped up on the Collingwood bandwagon again. I switched off the radio.

Lions were horrific. Reminded me of Neeld era.

Sitting there wondering if and when our next goal would come.

Stop trying to use Tasmania as a Victorian tip. We really don't want your rubbish.

What success?      Hes achieved nothing at the Pies and they have sucked since he got there.

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
