Shame the Tigers aren't playing this weekend.  Injury concerns: 

  • Dusty has a corked thigh from last week. 
  • Rioli sent off for scans after hurting his finger at training. 
  • Lambert left training early and limped off.

They all seem fairly minor and will be ok for their Prelim.  Damn it!  They have been blessed with injuries to first and second string players.  Surely, lady luck needs to go elsewhere now.  She has helped the Tigers enough!

Back to this week:  GWS vs Coll.

Would prefer GWS to beat our arch enemy and I reckon they have a better chance of knocking off the Tigers in their Prelim!

Looks like nothing much there. They are cautious and rightfully so with a week off.

Returning the favour and going to the footy tomorrow night with my husband. As much as I despise GWS, it’s in my genetic material to dislike Collingwood and I am not sure that I will be able to utter the words ‘Go Pies’ regardless.

Big dilemma....

The idea of a Melbourne vs Filth grand final is delicious, but I think Id just rather see them go out in straight sets like the Hawks.

A final 4 without Geelong, Hawthorn , Sydney ad Collingwood is the perfect outcome.

The Richmond club doctor, their medical and rehab team are the best thing going around in the AFL since sliced bread. Nothing to see there.

Changing of the guard time:  :...for the first time since 2002 next week's preliminary finals will be played without either Hawthorn, Geelong or the Sydney Swans participating".

Isn't that a bl00dy good thing!!

Time for the young pups to take over!  Like us, yeah!

For all the heartache we have been through to have had a successful rebuild and be in the position we are now to take on the newcomers is awesome.

I would love this. In finals over the years we have won 19 out of 20 times against Collingwood.

Is the 20th, the 1958 Grand Final, when they stopped us winning 5 flags in a row?  Sam's grandad, Murray Weideman was their captain and kicked the winning goal.  Our 1964 Premiership players are still filthy about missing that flag.

Then we beat them in the our last flag in 1964.

With that rich history and young Sam Weideman in our team there would be much symbolism if the old rivalry was relit in a GF of Dees vs Pies -   Would love to beat them again.

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    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
