It's nice to see these articles from time to time, it kind of vindicates a lot of our opinions.

I read this article this morning and I must say that it brightened up my day!!

I was already reasonably optimistic about our chances this season but after reading his points on "why" he thinks we will be in the top 4 made me realise that this could be a fantastic year for us!!

Now let us all pray....

Finally at least we get some recognition from the media

i guess now the pressure has been put on the dees to perform really well this year. everyone now thinks we are real contenders, and i do too but the question we all know we can perform at G but i think the real test will be when we go interstate, i think those game will tell us where we are at this year

Without trying to be biased, I actually think that is one of the first sensible evaluations of how we will travel this year. I think we have been constantly improving in every way, and this article is one of the only ones to give us due credence.

Compare that to the twit some of us call Dermott Brereton. He wrote in today's Feral Scum "Let's be honest, the Dees are not going to win a flag this year -- a 5-9 finish is most likely. If they drop far below that the board will jump up and down, but even then I can't see them making a change. They're Melbourne, they haven't won a flag for 43 years."

Unnecessary

July 23, 201312 yr

Depressed as.

who would've thought, Greg Denham talking up the Demons!

July 23, 201312 yr

Bloody hell i need narcotics now. Thanks for that gut wrenching depression.

Imagine if he had written the truth!!!!

July 24, 201312 yr

I find this quite interesting.

Looks like Dermie had a fair idea of what he was talking about.

Denham looks like an idiot, but that's par for the course.

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round
NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
