Someone please advise me as to who to barrack for. I'm assuming that a West Coast loss gives us a better chance at the top four but an Adelaide loss solidifies our position in the eight. I don't really look at other team's draws (out of laziness) other than it would be good to play an Adelaide team that's shut up shop.

Same with Hawthorn versus GWS I guess.

Because playing a Collingwood team that shut up shop last year favoured us greatly

If Adelaide lose it will make it tough for them.  They have Richmond (away) followed by Geelong (home) coming up.  Plus they play us, Port, GWS and North on the run home so would have to cause a few upsets to make it.

I think I want the Eagles to win this.  I'd prefer to create separation with the chasing pack than hope for an unlikely top 4 finish.

More like impossible, or close enough to.  They'd likely need to win their last 8 games. That isn't happening.

Three straight losses for West Coast.

Now in danger of missing the 8  after  a 10-1 start.  I never rated them.

How on earth did we lose to Port ??

One could also ask how did CFC get so close to Port or how did Port allow CFC to get so close?  After all we beat them by 109!

And the WCE are in a decent slump.

That rendition of the Adelaide song by the players just now has to be the worst singing of a club song by any sporting organisation EVER. Cringeworthy and soulless.  

I feel sick

Listening to Walker being interviewed after the game has made me feel sick. He is a repugnant specimen.

I have just realised that the filth could go into 2 place after tonight. Won't that be horrendous.

Starting this thread early as it's shaping for a big weekend ladder wise and for the Dees. Who do we want to win these crunch games

Rich v Syd (THURS)

- I hope Tigers win, we don't want any interstate teams in the top 4. ✔️✔️

WB v Cats

- Cats are definitely not playing their best this year and Dogs played OK v North and you don't know what they'll bring. A Dogs win hopefully✔️✔️

Carl v Port

- Carlton played well yesterday and Port aren't as good as people reckon, they actually played awful v Dees and we still found a way to lose. Upset highly unlikely but game is at the MCG.✖️

Adel v WCE

- Can the Crows at home upset a vulnerable WCE?✔️✔️

GC v Coll

- Collingwood win easily

GWS v Haw

- Hoping GWS win, Hawks are zoning in on a top 8 finish

Melb v STK

- We need to win and win big, keep that percentage up, 50+ win would be nice

Ess v North

- I think Bombers will win this, North doing their usual start the season well and folding this year I'd say, Ess win helps us.

 

 

 

 

Few results going our way. There is such a thing as luck maybe

Pies will likely jump to 2nd spot on the ladder tonight. How sickening!

After watching the top teams last couple of weeks no one is touching Richmond this year will win the flag quite easily 

I really feel like Richmond will slip back to the pack in rounds 18-23 and not have great form come September, no idea why just a hunch. 

It's quite amazing really teams 1-10 all possibilities to win the flag. 

I would put adelaide into that group as they are still to get some strong players back but I think it might just be a bridge to far from here to make the 8

    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. 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
