Dees by 100.

Weideman to kick 10.

Oliver 57 contested possessions.

Nibbler zero fumbles.

I believe.

 

Weideman kicking 10 and Oliver collecting 57 contested possies is still astonishingly more believable than ANB having a fumble-less game.

    Port will start well but by about 1/2 way through 3 term we should be able to roll them convincingly.

    I wish melbourne was doing something for the loss of colin sylvia. not sure whether we'll be wearing arm bands or not but things have been a little too quiet for my liking. 

    Yes, I like it. 

    It can be forgotten in the pre-season, those we have lost... and those who were taken, so early.

    He looked lethal in that exhausting workout. He must have bent over at least 4 times to pick up the ball off the ground. Could he be put through any more thorough physical test of his injured cheekbone? Surely not.

    My guess is he will miss and they are trying to throw us off the track with selection.

    Waste of time if they do that Redleg. Preuss is out injured, Bradtke is nowhere near ready. Either way we just have Max.

    Hope they do play those mind games, that way they don't concentrate on the more important things.

    A noted innovator, Hinkley takes the concept of chaos ball to a whole new level.

    All up, the Power will have 11 changes to the team that lost to Essendon in round 23 last year. "It makes it hard for Melbourne to predict what we're going to do, because we don't know what we're going to do."

    Dear Demonland,

    Can you please post the link to the destination article (presumably somewhere on the AFL web site) so we don't have to go to the Evil Place?

    Thank you in advance,

    Vandenberg is a worry for me. Didn't make the family day last week and was a no show on Monday. Hope his foot hasn't flared up.

    The latest injury list says he's available, but no idea how old it is.

    Sounds like both of us will be fielding underdone sides and/or will be missing key players.

    It might only be Round 1 but this is a game we just cannot afford to lose.

    Melbourne Football Club Supporter Syndrome is the constant negativity of some supporters due to years of failures.

    Thanks.  I've suffered from that too, but hope to escape its clutches this year.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
