  • Tigers are without their big 4: Dusty, Rance, Riewoldt, Cotchin.  They play Port at Adelaide oval.  If Port play their 'control' game they will win. 
  • Crows dropped Gibbs.  Big statement by the club.
  • Would be handy for the Saints to beat Hawks and Bulldogs to beat Pies but can't see it happening.
  • Sad to see Tyson dropped by North.
  • Hoping for Suns win over Blues and Lions over Ess, partly to see the Qld teams do well and partly because as I loathe the self-entitled, arrogance of Ess and Blues.

Results this weekend will go a long way to shaping the final 8.

Can’t see the Dogs playing as bad as they did last week, the scoreboard certainly flattered them in the end against the Suns. If they can stick with the Pies for the first 3 quarters they might be able to pinch it. Pies 1-3, will continue a great start to the round.

wins by North and Carlton would benefit us.

A win by Port over Richmond would make life interesting.

Collingwood v Bulldogs could be a great tussle.

Freo over Eagles would also make my weekend

Funny what one win can do. I have been checking all the other games this weekend to see who I think we want to win to ease our climb up the ladder.

Get a grip man we have won one game!

same here OD.

I think we need a chaos season (like our gameplan) where upsets are many creating a virtual log jam from top to bottom. ?

3 or 4 games separating top from bottom at the bye would be good.

So starting 1-3 do we need a really even season from the other sides  or do we need the first three to lose very few games ( the ones when we play them excluded )? Or perhaps both, a very even season except the top couple?

Hey really  all we need to do to is keep winning that solves everything.

So I have to confess, until yesterday I’d been sooking so hard about our crap start to the year that I had hardly paid any attention at all to the other games. I took a look at the ladder today and with a few exceptions, like Carlton being where they belong, it appears to be upside down. Brisbane 3-0, what the...? Freo 2-1? And a great deal of last year’s 8 have had slow starts. Going to be really interesting to see if by round 10, the early form has continued.

Most people would have said Collingwood have been playing well but if they lose tonight they will be 1 and 3. Same for Tigers if they lose against Port.

We have been terrible but we're not out of it by any means IF.....

  • footscray to surprise the filth
  • gw$ to lose to the puddy tatts at the taxpayer's stadium
  • bears to continue their run against the peptides

Terrible game.   Just terrible.  Most games this year have been poor, must be teams trying to get used to that 666 rule.

Dogs phart around too much on half forward line. They should be in front. The filth don't have their game anywhere near last years. Hopefully that remains.

Naught on just marked against “elite defender” for a telling goal.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the Fremantle Dockers. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some r

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
