Clearly a win would be preferable but above all else I just want to see Vandenberg back amongst it and to get through unscathed. 
I just loved watching the brute this bloke put out on the park and can’t wait to see it again. It’s been a while!

 

I’m probably getting a bit too excited for just a practice game, but I can’t bloody wait. Might have also had too much coffee. Is it beer O’clock yet?

Be interesting to see how Melksham and Frisch go up forward with the support of T Mac, Weid and Brown as opposed to being the number 1 and 2 forward’s - per the last month of last year.

Both teams probably have about the same quality and quantity out so would be hoping for a win. We need to get back in that winning frame of mind - for the players and supporters.

 

Just want to see an improvement in skill going inside 50. Last year was deplorable in that area. 

Getting ready to go, can’t wait. Just shows I need a life!!!


I'm hoping to see us run the game out strongly - let's see what Burgess's efforts materialize into.

 

Fritta a late out. No replacement named, no idea why

BB called it!  Take a bow, BB!

Mystery injury of the week strikes again. 

No replacement suggests they expected him to play, as it seems all the carry over players took part in the game yesterday. 

Hopefully this means it's nothing terribly serious. 


Hopefully its a management thing with Fritta, believe he hasnt missed a session and has been one of the clear stand out all summer.

SWYL is on international duties at present, so a full description of the game would be enormously appreciated. 
 

that is all

Carry on

Hi from the Pink city of Jaipur

Traffic has stopped here and the local population awaits with bated breath the commencement of this epic game.

According to google translate there are many words for demons in Hindi but let us say they will all soon be chanting.....

GO APADUTA !!

Stunning day out here.imageproxy.php?img=&key=735da9576a39b017

 Eatiful day for drying the washing here. Looking forward to updates from the Casey fields

Definitely a bit of excitement and it’s good to see most here share that view. No real expectations other than I’m interested in seeing how Trac is used, how Mitch Brown fits and our Pickett looks. There’s probably more but I’m happy to just observe.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.
