It would be interesting to run this again in a couple of years if we get a flag.

I suspect Max will bow out gracefully in the top 4 and we get a Stynes/Lyon playoff...

Although Neitz is still a dark horse.

A flag would change things.

Impossible to vote against either.

It gets harder tomorrow - Schwarz v Neitz. Messing with my mind.

Very optimistic of you rjay......& I agree a flag may change things, however, that's more that a couple of years away, let's be honest. (I'm happy to be proven wrong though) ?

Stynes will also have the number 1 tag stitched up for a long time IMO & can't see any of the new crop challenging Jimmy unless Oliver wins another couple of Bluey's.

You don't have to vote against anyone 't'.   Just vote for one of them.

A vote not given implies a vote "against". Can't do it.

Exactly,  so its not really being disloyal to anyone.  It is just that,  what it is.   A personal truth

Good as Jones has been for us, he's a long way short of the AFL's best midfielders. Has never been All-Australian.

Nathan was no slouch , he was a terrific player  played in  ordinary  sides and gave his all.  He held his own against the best.

Hard nut and most of all loyal. Could easily had left for glory.

Loved Jimmy; heart and soul player, great athlete, worked hard to get his skills up to scratch, and simply a club legend.

On Jonesy, for someone who has the knock of not great skills he's kicked some absolutely cracking goals over his career. Maybe people will argue he was the cream that rose to the top during an awful period but I think that's disrespectful to his guts, endeavour, and underrated abilities. 

One's a champion, the other is a legend.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
