What’s the overall standard of matches like so far?

i know not all teams take it seriously, but it is vital for us. We have to wipe 2019 off the table. 
Beat Whorethorn next week and a trip to Perth becomes a challenge, not an evil nightmare

What's more, we have to start the season at full fitness to try to get the jump on WCE and GWS, who have had less preparation time and, in WC's case, injuries to key players over the preseason.  All of the top 4 from 2018 started sluggishly in 2019, hopefully we can take advantage of playing two very good teams early, whilst they're a few weeks off their best football.

For a chronic pessimist and whinger you have a charming vein of optimism. Congratulations.

Seriously, it's a compliment.

I am only pessimistic when the Club is a disgrace to itself. 
sadly that has been often, I actually get more angry when supporters get stuck into me for it!!!

I want to win Finals, always have  

I think the Club is serious this year  

Last year may be a positive force that has woken The Demon  

compliment accepted :)

The Freo v Blues game should have been scheduled in an adults only time slot. Gerard Healy has labelled the first half as a masterclass in butchering. Inexcusable misses from 15m out directly in front, can’t believe I sat through that. 

Thanks. I taped the game last night. Will now delete.


The result of the day was the Suns’ big win over the Crows which saw them catapult to the head of the JLT/Marsh Community Series ladder. The Demons now can’t win the competition.

^ If the Suns keep this up someone else will own the wooden spoon.  Early contenders:  Carlton, Adelaide or even Sydney...?

Carlton will improve this year LH but it could easily be one of the other two. My guess the Crows but that maybe because I hate them with rare intensidy.

Throw Freo in there as well. Swans, Suns, Crows, Blues, Dockers and Hawks would be my tip for bottom 6, Can raffle the order. In saying that, they are all more than capable of challenging teams on their day.

Swans seem to have embraced the “we are in a rebuild” mentality which should lock them in for close to the wooden spoon. Carlton looked truly awful against Freo but were missing a few and will get better throughout the year.

Anyone see the incident between J Cameron and Lambert today? Lambert was left concussed after he copped a knee to the head. Some debate whether it was intentional or accidental.

Can only be cured (or alleviated) by a Premiership.

Contact from his knee to the Richmond player - definitely intentional.

Cameron wanting to make contact with his head - doubtful.

Carlton are a one man team. If they show as little as they have in the preseason then they’re in a spot of bother.

Yep.  And it's glorious.

Not to mention that two of their other better players in Murphy and Simpson are in twilight of their careers as well.  Happy for them to be a bottom four team for the next decade.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
