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.

     

    Vale`...    Ian Thorogood  &  'Col'...   Sylvia.

    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.

    Probably one of the most anticipated training threads coming up tomorrow. Which ‘landers are reporting for duty?

    MFCSS in me fears the worst then a nail biting win at Cattery

    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.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
