I love the attitude... [censored] picks. I just want wins, if that means 9th place finish with pick 10 as apposed to a pick 3 I really don't care. We can just draft another Christian Salem rather than a toumpass 

Absolutely. We need more than anything else to establish a culture of winning.

We have had 55 years of not winning. Done that.

I would love it if we win enough game to make 9th.

I look forward to the posts on DL bemoaning the crows and WC losses. 

Look at our last effort to bottom out. Netted us money bags, trenners and the toump (sounds like a bad SA breakfast radio slot). All gone.

Win. Win. Win. i for one have watched enough bloody losses by my team.

    Not sure if many follow the NHL around here, but here is an optimistic story for every Demonlander.

    The St. Louis Blues were dead last in the NHL on January 3rd this year (that's 31 teams). This was around the halfway mark of the season. They then went on a huge run, made it into the playoffs and are now one game away from winning the Stanley Cup (series lead 3-2).

    Maybe we shouldn't give up just yet?

    Also [censored] the Bruins

    Did Lever get through todays training session??


    Man it is exciting having May and Lever in the 18. 

    JKH bit stiff to miss out but he did butcher the ball. Hannan was more deserving of the chop but stays in for positional need and as he is a better player

    INT: Spargo - Hibberd  -Stretch - Preuss - Weed - ANB - Garlett - Wagner

    My guess: Hibberd, Weed, Garlett, ANB

    out Wagner, Spargo, Stretch, Wagner 

    Contrary to popular opinion I don't agree with everything this FD does, I'm struggling to justify the Lever selection.  If he doesn't get seriously re-injured then I guess they're vindicated.

    Edited by Fifty-5

    I like the ins. Would be happy to see Hore, Salem and may or lever back. Not sure if we should play both lever and may due to match conditioning. 

    Im just happy that we no longer have to hear about Jack watts and his debut game and hear the pies people say it's our grand final. 

     

     

    I know that teams rarely line up as selected but I do like Salem and Baker on the wings.  Both have nice kicks, have composure and aim at targets rather random bombs. 

    And add Fristch as the attacking defender and we should see a marked improvement in delivery i50 from all three.

    Agree 100%. I hated the tanking year then and still do. That Richmond game Is in my top 3 of the worst games I have witnessed. Win as many as possible and worry about the rest in September.

    Have you seen the video of Lever's rehab in the USA?

    It made me cringe when I was watching the amount of force and twisting and turning he was putting on his knee - and that was in January!

    Not sure if the link works but that's great that the boys will be leading melbourne out. I did think it was something the club should do, it's only a small think but it could give the boys just a little lift. I thought it could be done at a home game, not sure why but queens birthday is pretty special though.

    Link doesnt work as the classy herald Sun have put the article  behind a paywall.

    Lets profit off the death of a 40 year old woman and her grieving sons.  Brilliant!

    Settle down. 

    Just down at Rye for the weekend and every second car in a very busy car park at woolies has demons member 2019 stickers on the back. Don’t think we we have many at the game come Monday ?

    PS no snow here so not sure what we’re all going to do for the weekend? Drink?

    Final bench for mine would be Hibberd, Weideman, Garlett and Spargo. 

    In: Lever, May, Hore, Salem

    Out: Kennedy-Harris, O.McDonald, Stretch, J.Wagner

    Goody may go with Preuss instead of Spargo, but I don’t think so.

    Bingo!

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
