Well, game day after what has seemed to be an interminable wait. Foxtel today in the lounge - a fresh six-pack of KilkennyAle to encourage deep thoughts during the game, some camembert and crackers, and a big expectation for a win of around 5 goals. Lookout 7th position on the ladder - here we come!

Gold Coast to prove a real nuisance for 2 and a half quarters before we kick away for a reasonably comfortable win is my tip

Be foolish to take this game lightly.

Dew is far foxier than Goodwin. He just hasnt the list (yet) 

I expect Suns to rty and expose our weaknesses early.

Junk time will be our nemesis again.

It's never a bad time to pass the hat around. As to the outages I have no ideas what's been causing them.

Decent ins for the Gold Coast, having May back is huge for them.

Haven’t seen them play this year, so not sure what Dew has in the trick bag, and not sure how well they defend. But we have them comfortably covered on every line. Tipping a demons win 1-39.

Why isn't this game in Cairns ?? I'm in Port Douglas now and I would go to watch them in a heartbeat if it were in Cairns. As it is, I'll be watching it with FND at the Central Hotel in Port Douglas as the coconut palms sway in a gentle tropical zephyr. 

This is our day people !! 

pinacolada dee!

The Central was my host venue for our triumphant 2000 prelim vs the Roos - watching on a 30 inch TV screen, barefoot and topless in a cloud of cigarette smoke - though I couldn't face being in public for the GF, so watched the misery from my $200 p/w house on top of the hill overlooking the whole of Four Mile and beyond.

Things have changed rather somewhat since our last sniff of success. Though I would bet Helen is still at the Central.

Crap wish I had your confidence Pineapple. To me this is definition of classic Melbourne DANGER GAME!!!  We are the better team on paper, are favourites to win, should win and pretty much everyone on here expects to win. What could possibly go wrong....

See you at the Central.

No hires today ? ;)

I tend to agree. We dont bury sides..remember, according to some on here anyway. It will come tho i think. Dees 1-39 for me too.

What part Skuit? Yes space is a highly sort after commodity in Amsterdam, 60m2 is not bad. I always dreamed of a houseboat, but impossible now. Hope to be there in July/August.

thanks .. was thinking much the same during the week. Went down I think for the third quarter last week as well as shorter outages during the week.

Happy to give a little if it helps. This is a fantastic site as are the posters !

when teams go defensive as Carlton did last year and Suns may do today, our game plan does not stand up very well as we just end up with a super crowded forward line from which the other side escapes occasionally and scores.

Hopefully as in last week we relax the press a little and open up our forward line to allow it to function.

    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
