Still cant believe all the work that goes into this website. Where do you find the time? Ive looked at some of the other sites, Bomberblitz for example. The are just so bad, boring and drab and you can hardly even read them. Well done @Demonland

I have no life and a forgiving boss.

    Hooker is a chance to play (and kick 5.0)

    Not if we throw Marty Hore on him. Perfect matchup!

    why is that @John Demonic?

    How is Hooker right to play after being predicted to miss the first four games of the season? Must have some healing vitamins on hand down at Essendon. Oh, what?

    So, here we are two weeks into the new season without a win and there are a number on this site that are calling it 'season over' already.

    I am not one of them.

    The list we have is the same one that played good footy last year so they know how to do it. we have had a shorter preseason than in recent years and we had a large number of players that went under the knife to fix niggles. All have added up to a slow start to the season. Week 1 we were as bad as we could be. Last week I saw and overall improvement in the general play with the highlighting of structural problems in our forward 50. 

    This week I think we will see another step up in overall quality of play and we will win a tight one to be 2-1 after the first three rounds.

    We could use Jeffy.

    We can use him for two good reasons in my view

    One ...on his day is incredibly talented and hits the scoreboard.

    Two ..  He tends to play his own game. For mine that's a plus as currently 'our game' is putrid.

    Go Jeffy.

    Hore / Frost  Friday  night. ?  A bit unlikely. Too warm for that.

    In all seriousness, that should be an unbelievable show @Gorgoroth.  I wanted to get tickets but a close mate's 30th got the nod.  Disappointed, but I'll listen to the album over the weekend instead.

    Because the other 17 clubs have improved more than we have?

    Didn't see changes v Essendon draft. I watched the Woods v Tigers, their two talls Mason and Grundy did well. On that base Preuss is a must. Petty could replace Frost or O.Mac however O.Mac could go forward. ANB ,Jones and possibly Petracca ( as awake up call ) could be dropped. Baker and Hore could get another go. Not sure if Viney is fit enough.

    The only thing to be decided on Friday night is the size of the loss. Reminds me of the Neeld days. No key forwards, poor delivery to those who are there. The key to our dreadful start in 2019. How on earth has this club failed to discuss / confront the Preliminary final  slaughter?  

    After Friday night we will be in another rebuild phase. My God it is boringly familiar.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
