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!

    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....

    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: 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.
