I know I’m gonna watch it (reluctantly) if there’s dees players - only because the footy drought is killing me... I wanna see how the lads are looking after their pre-season.

A gimmick, yes.. a risk to players in what is already a hugely taxing season proper, yes..

    Only 3 Dees picked in the AFLX mock draft. May, Jetta and Petracca.

    I don't know whether to be insulted or relieved.

    I had actually suspected that May and Jetta would be picked for the indigionous team, but a little suprised by Trac.  Milkshake was our 'AFLX star' in last years (cough cough) premiership.

    Seriously about my only interest in this whole rubbish comp will be seeing how Nev and May go.  It's just a pitty that it falls such a long way short of the All Australian selection Nev deserves (hopefully that will be righted in years to come).

    My only other interest is seeing Dangerflogs and Hodges side loose.  How anyone could pick an old, slow player like Hodge in this 'fast/high-speed game' is beyond me.

    My interest level for AFLX is extremely low BUT if the AFL were interested in it having interest the best way I could see it happening is to have it as a State of origin deal and it moves location every year so each state gets to host it. 

    Would at least get some more interest from the random South Australian that hates Victoria. 

    These teams names and they way they're marketing it is so incredibly cringe worthy. It's like a parent trying to hard to connect with their kids. 

    Players of eras gone by always talk about what an honor and achievemen  it was to play state of origin footy.  It was a real highlight of their careers.

    Patrick Dangerflog has been pushing for a new pick your own team format of elite level rep sides for a number of years now.

    At the end of their playing careers, few/no player will look back and say "remember that great AFLX game I played for Dangerflogs lightening bolts?"

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
