If we get up tomorrow I’d be happy if we go in the GF as underdog.

Rance whinging for free kicks with 3 minutes to go.

The game's biggest [censored] and IMO one of its most over-rated players.

Forget just current day. He’s one of the most overrated players of all time.

Why are there empty seats next to the MCC if its a sell out?? Never got that..

They are the seats the West Coast supporters purchased, but didn’t attend to silence the crowd.

As a positive, if we do win tomorrow, we'll get to play the GF out of our home rooms (we share with Richmond, Collingwood share with Hawthorn, so if Richmond had won we would have had to play out of the other rooms).

Richmond finished 13th in 2016, their supporters wanted Hardwick gone but they kept him, premiership 2017.

Collingwood finished 13th in 2017, their supporters wanted Buckley gone but they kept him...2018?

Beat me too it, not sacking the coach has paid off twice.

I’m no Collingwood fan but I have to say I loved that. The Richmond fawning all year has been spew worthy. Seeing them trudge off was the best thing ever.

The pies are playing above themselves tonight, hard to do that 2 weeks in a row as it takes a lot out of the team mentally and physically.  We have been consistent for the last 4 games.

Pies were very good against West coast in Perth too.

They will be bloody hard to stop playing like that.

If we make it, and we are still in the realms of 'if', we will need to play smart footy. Tiges needed to take the sting out of that one earlier. When they started to control the pace, they could then go hard. Instead, Collingwood took their game off them.

If we get through, 'underdog' will suit is perfectly. The Tigers were beatable, the Pies are beatable. Would be a great matchup, and a killer GF.

Now let's get to making it there! Can't wait for tomorrow!

West Coast beat Collingwood at the G earlier this year.

Collingwood weren't playing like this earlier in the year.

Grundy gave Nankervis an absolute bath, and Richmond had no midfield.  Sidebottom had an armchair ride.  Tigers did not have a Maxy to drop back into the hole and stop cox.  Tigers kept bombing it in to big outnumbers, and Riewoldt was outstanding under nearly impossible conditions.  Think if we get through we have to win the midfield, and cut out their marking on the outside.  Shut them down like we did the hawks.

Official crowd: 94,959 at the MCG . Little disappointing when so many could not get a ticket. Take it the MCC didn't all turn up .

Takes a Dees gf to over fill it.

Next week ;)

So, the old enemy awaits!  We just gotta get it done tomorrow!!

    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
