    I think it does the Weid good to get pushed into the ruck a bit - gets him a bit angry, fired up and into the game physically.

    Yes. The idiocy of my comment probably wasn't apparent by virtue of its idiotic extent.

    I just saw Weid's name to the left on the followers-line and assumed he was named as a mid.

    Seems I forgot we don't have any other ruckmen, and also forgot to check who how ruck actually was.

    Jumped to the conclusion that we were about to unleash our new two-metre mid sensation. 

    Either A) I'm free MFCSS and have ignored most of our inconsequential injury reports.

    Or  B) Am riddled with MFCSS and just accepted that Weid would start as mid to cover injuries.

    I'm guessing a few of the named blokes don't actually play.

    Look what that team sheet has done to the enthusiasm in here after last week's injury woes. Same will be going on in most Dees supporters houses.

    Are you implying that the released team sheet is just MFC propaganda to lift supporters spirits only for a good ole bait and switch to happen on match day?

    Lazy post/can't be bothered with the leg-work. 

    Is the match going to be streamed somewhere?

    Well that means he definitely won't play then.  We'd rather leave someone running around on the ground with a broken leg in a practice match than play short or call up an emergency. ?

    Cheers FND. But I have no idea if any of that means the match will be live-streamed for free or not. I'm currently overseas, but will probably be in your hood around the time of our first real fixture: where's the best place up north nowadays to watch the real stuff?

    I am hopeful it doesn't pan out that way, but we will see

    I don't believe there is any free streaming options.

    It's LIVE on Fox Footy which is obviously a Pay TV service. If you have foxtel you can stream it via their app. As you are overseas you would not be able to view it due to their geo-location lock unless you are using a VPN.

    If you pay for the Kayo app you will be able to watch it LIVE and later on demand. This is also a paid service but as an added bonus you get almost every other sport as well. I'm not sure whether they have a trial period which you could cancel before payment. As you're overseas you will have the same geo-location lock unless you have a VPN.

    As you are overseas you can use the AFL's Watch AFL app which caters to the overseas market. You can watch LIVE or on demand. This is also a paid service but you can get weekly, monthly or yearly subscriptions which you can cancel at any time. If you are overseas you do not need a VPN. 

    If you don't understand any of this then OK Boomer. :P

    The Central is the AFL pub in town. Has a big screen and cold beers.

    When are you thinking of coming up? It has been a bit tropical up here lately

    Haha. I'm not a Boomer but I still have no idea. I was born in the brief border years between Gen X and the Millennials: most of us are clueless about both camps. We're also mostly all broke for getting caught in between: hence no spare Kayo cash. I had the Watch AFL subscription last year, but paying to get up at 5am in the morning for a couple hours of regular humiliation always felt rather harsh, regardless of my bdsmfc tendencies.

    Still the Central? I'm seen many a glorious victory there, as well as a few horrible defeats dating back before the big-screens: including our 2000 prelim win over the Roos, and our crazy 2002 finals loss against the Crows.

    Very good ! 

    I am always surprised that some people still think you can get sports free.

    It is best to start with the principle that if I cannot go to the event then it is going to cost.

    If you don't want to pay / cannot then read reviews like here on Demonland.

    Those are your options in the 21st century.

    I've got Foxtel currently by really only use it for sport.

    For those who use Kayo - what are your thoughts on the service?  Happy with it?  Not happy with it?  I'm thinking seriously about making the change.

    I've mainly used Kayo on Desktop and Mobile and i've found it easy to use and good value at $25 a month. There is a great variety of sport and you can also watch the live Foxtel channels on the app as well.

    You can usually get a free 1 month trial before having to pay anything.

    Perhaps we should change the name of the injury list to the not fully match fit list if that is more palatable for you. 

    Maybe you could call it "The NQR Squad".

    I'm also keen to hear others thoughts on Kayo. I use foxtel and chromecast it but its pretty average quality a lot of the time. Wondering if Kayo might be better? I remember borring a mates and it worked a lot smoother potentially.

    It's excellent, I haven't had any issues. If you only use Foxtel for sport you should definitely make the switch.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
