Well I'm sick of thinking about the Dees so let's talk other teams.

I just read that the bomber leadership group is Dyson Heppell and vice-captain Zach Merrett, David Myers, Orazio Fantasia and Joe Daniher.  WTF are they thinking? The only one there with any leadership is Heppell and he is not a natural leader imo.  Hurley should be skipper with Heppell and Hooker in the LG. still surely they can't lose to the saints who are imploding

Anyway, I reckon the Pies will get up tonight

Lions should beat North away - they have no injuries and are in good form (i'm tipping Lions to make the ?

Dogs may upset Hawks - could be an interesting year for the doggies

and the big one on Sunday arvo - Suns V Freo will break the reckon for interest level and lowest attendences.  even GWS will take the mickey out of that game. I wouldn't be surprised if the umpires and cameramen don't turn up!

 

Ferals over the filth

Cola over Cows

Peptides over Aints

Pear over Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarltank

Meth Coke over GW$

Bears over the future Tasmania

Poos & Wees over Footscray

Jokers over GC17

Big night for the Pies... are they the real deal.

Should be a great game... Is it a sellout?

West Coast and GWS is another game to watch closely.

 

Interesting to see how Toiges go without Rance and Houli.

I’m thinking Pies will win, just. Let’s see if Cox replicates his prelim heroics.

Really? Hurley always looks like he's punched a dozen cones before the game as a warm-up.

Hogan makes his debut for Freo and wish him well and hope he has a super game. 

HW$NBN makes his debut for the Hawks but can't wish him well.  What a steel for the Hawks - 4th round pick, I think.

Sadly, news has come thru that Dunn has done his knee in the first half of the vfl practice game

Agree, he was a stalwart for the Dees and hated seeing him go to the filth. But somehow happy (for him) when he was announced in the leadership group. He is great footy warrior.

Hope the knee is not as bad as expected so I can boo him at the QB game....that's the Collibobbles GF game!

That is a shock inclusion. Daisy Thomas was never the same after a similar injury. Will be interesting to see how he comes up.

Would love to know the real story of that trade.

Collingwood will beat Richmond, as sure as God made little apples. Collingwood will pump the ball into their forward line so often, it'll be like the little boy with his finger in the dyke. It'll overwhelm them in the end. Collingwood have too many goal kickers and without that reprehensible toad, Rance,to defend, the Tigers have got no hope.

Logic says the pies should win because Cox dominated the prelim when Rance was there and he isn't there tonight so Cox should dominate even more. I think I want the tigs to win just so collingwood lose again. 

Gee Id love to see the saints beat essendon. That would be great 

 RIchmonds first test without Rance, and its a big one.

Would love to see them fall apart completely and struggle all season.

Umpires have umpteen colours to choose from yet they wear yellow tops and black shorts at a Richmond home game - they look like Richmond players half the time....

Yep...

Wife getting lippy....??

The Pies controlling tempo and momentum of the game by accurate passing (must have a very high kicking efficiency in general tonight) and a lot of switching (keeping off) play around the back.  Also being VERY patient waiting for the right option to hit up around the back or on a shallow forward entry.  Alternatively they kick it low and flat to the hot spot (more so than bombing) if they have to under pressure in a play on situation.

They clearly have a game plan, most players know their roles and play accordingly and they are extremely fit and well drilled.  Barring injuries to key players they will make the GF IMHO.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
