Surely the lower placed team winning would always be to our advantage - then it is entirely up to us to keep winning 

In the first 5 minutes maggots have put themselves in the line of fire at least twice.  Now they have been declared sacrosanct (most of the time anyway) they seem to think that players should avoid them without taking any personal responsibility

So who do we want to win tonight's game.

My head says Collingwood by a fair margin

.........never thought I'd say that !!!

I hope, Luke Beveridge's men.

I am so sick of these moron commentators saying Buckley turned Howe into a defender...

Didn't you hear, he turned Dunn into a defender as well.

But we aren't going to win everything.... unfortunately we're not that good.

Dogs lose and they have to win 9 out of 13 to make the 8 .. very hard

Basically you can take 8 teams out of the equation almost this weekend on that theory.

And then there were 10 !!!

Definitely better for us if the Dogs win. Pies are a legitimate contender for a spot in the 8, so we want them to lose. Dogs aren’t contenders and have horrible percentage, so even if they win they’ll be 30-40% behind the good teams.

1. Umpires loving the doggies.

2. Commentary terrible.

3. McLean ducks and throws

4. Can't believe Mayne gets a game.

Pretty much the exact game I had imagined

Ed Richards for the Dogs looks a player. I was a fan before he was drafted due to his pace, but he’s showing goood footy smarts and toughness too down back. Looks a real likely type.

Pies look to be taking control of this one now. They’re clogging the corridor better and Doggies are relying on mistakes to get their shots here.

Cox is such a spud

You could have told me before I put him in my SuperCoach team.

Neither of these teams look great.

The doggies are a shadow of the team that won the flag two years ago.  They look unfit.

Pies look the better side but surely we have them covered.

FMD Footscray played like dogs in the third quarter.  How did they ever win a flag.

PS and the fourth has started even worse for them.

With this win and a bloopy for Collingwood next week against Freo they’ll be 7-4 by QBH. Pretty nervy already bout that one.

The dogs are just nothing on the team that won it in 2016. And honestly they wearn’t elite back then either, they had a great month.

Absolutely no flow or run to the Dogs game – they’re merely a shadow of their former selves. Look forward to meeting them in the next few weeks.

The only positive is if we win Sunday and both win next week its sets up a massive game on QB.

Pies in that third quarter were rebounding so easily out of Dogs fifty. Shows the importance of forward defensive pressure.

Pendlebury, Sidebottom and to a lesser extent Treloar and DeGoey are their main movers.

Neither team has good forward structure.

If we bring our game we should have these two teams comfortably.

Dogs have kicked 3 goals since quarter time.  They're poo.

They kicked 5 with umpires gifts in the first.

A bunch of soft frees and a couple of 50s in front of goal.

At least they earnt the three since quarter time.

Have you seen a more gutless effort? Scared to attack when you’re 15 points down against a mediocre Collingwood. 

Weak as.

    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. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
