Well ... here it is ... are we excited... probably not

Coniglio has ruled himself out which leaves spots to be found for Greene and possibly Whitfield.

Richmond will be raging favourites and deserve to be.

Do GWS have someone to stop Martin, Lynch and Riewoldt?

Will Cameron do a Tredrea and sacrifice his game by playing upfield and allowing the likes of Finlayson to kick a bag?

And of course how will the prospective Demon in Tomlinson fare?

    Pretty sure it's not here yet. Tigers should win, but GWS has me on the bandwagon.

    In the battle between draft concessions and free agency, I'm going to go with my heart and say "Well, at least Richmond are an actual football club that has some kind of meaning, and at least they actually had to persevere through real adversity to get to the top".

    I cannot get even a little excited about a GWS win.  It quite simply would be bad for football.  I'm already dry-retching at the headlines about the big turnouts and 'Giants army coming to training'.

    I want too see big Mummy in perhaps his last game, run straight through Martin, Cotchin and a few others early on. I am sure that would frighten the bejesus out of many of their team mates. 

    In fact if I was Leon Cameron I’d have Mummy talking to the media about his intentions right now! Remember Dusty giving Mummy a snort gesture earlier in the year? It’s payback time. 

    The Bunyip Banger is looking for you Dusty! Good luck!

    I'm tipping general apathy will make it back to back wins.

    Could we have a repeat of the Alistair Lynch "massacre".

    Had not thought about that.

    could very well be a balmey first quarter

    If Melbourne can’t win the premiership this year , then frankly I prefer if no one wins it. Therefore GWS winning would be the closest thing to no one winning it IMO.

    in all honesty though I think the giants are a sneaky chance this week, they are playing with momentum and have gone through playing on the road and missing key players

    tigers played their grand final last week 

    will be very interesting

    For anyone undecided who they want to win, would you rather see 100,000 feral, rabid, arrogant and passionate people shattered and heart broken after a loss or the 15 orange people that probably couldn't give a toss that they've lost and will move onto following Sydney Roosters the following week?
     

    The answer's pretty simple i would've thought.

    I feel that way about GWS.

    If Richmond win, they will equal our record of 12 flags.  Duck fat!

    They’ve won 6 flags I think since 1965 , now going for a 7th . 

    7 flags since they interloped into the MCG

    True... interesting to see how GWS back up after a gruelling slog in the wet last week . Whitfield and Greene are handy inclusions though. 

    I also think the Tiges too had to dig deep after staring down the barrel at HT last week , they were pretty average in the 1st half.

    GWS have been very physical with their starts over the final series.

    Could be a fiery first quarter

    Tigers to get 'Mummified?

    Expect Dusty to be targeted.

    With our luck they'll use Tomlinson and he'll come over with a six match ban !!!!

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
