At some point a couple of teams will get their heads straight and rise a whole level above the rest.  Then we'll be watching 10-goal drubbings which are really 100+ point smashings, and just counting down the season to see which one sustains it through the finals.

On the bright side, with so much of the results being even more between the ears than usual, it is possible for just about any team to suddenly start running hot and becoming a late contender.

collingwood have advertising above their number on the back of their guernsey - are they the first club to have two sponsors on the back of jumper?

i know clubs are allowed to do it, but i thought it was existing boj sponsor getting double exposure, where's pies have cgu on front and cgu and emirates on back now

Well another night of turning down the sound so as i don't have to listen to Taylor. So bias towards Wobbles.They (umpires) apparently cannot see trips, pushes and throws, just to name a few faults in the second qtr. Never knew there was a new rule of " not high" if Wobbles do that either. GWS stepped up a gear this week and i hope they pummel the mob that could be in a lot of trouble if they aren't careful.

super congested and contested

low scoring suits the filth, but it keeps the oppo in the game...see also last year's prelim

Not a great game...yet again.

Let's hope they can break the mould in the 2nd half otherwise it looks like a good book and an early night.

GWS players need to start calling for the ball and not having 2 -3 people go up in a marking contest and spoil each other. 

DeBoer doing a great job on sidebottom. 

Come on giants beat the filth.

Gawn v Grundy?? Grundy loves to tap  it straight to the opposition!! 

The pies are well coached and have improved their kicking skills out of sight, hoping we can do the same!

But I think Gawn is better then Grundy and Trac way better the degoye

Green having an impact.  Gonna be a ripper this bloke once he gets his engine up and running at the level.  Plemty of score involvements.  great link man potential already

Actually its a good game. Collingwood back in it,

Davis doing his hammy is a massive loss for the giants. 

Greene passing off to Cameron was just stupid. I hope Cameron didn't call for the cheap one out the back to get an easy goal. Greeen should have just gone back and put it through.

Jeremy Howe looks like a dislocated knee cap...

Green has played a huge role in this last quarter to get them over the line with limited TOG as well

Mummy had the better of Grundy imo (just)...nullified him and squared many contests.

Might be one of those injuries where it looks worse than it actually is.

Unfortunately I think it looks as bad as it is...his  leg buckled.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
