Big call: Big call after tipping us for the premiership?  Hmm...

Gawn, Petracca and Oliver will be considered the top three players in the game by the end of the year.  Legends will be sung.

At some point Charlie Cameron will kick 30 goals in a run of six or seven games.

Edit:  Adding one more thought - there will be a lot of teams with very few wins and very poor percentage this year.  Think 2016; seven teams with 15+ wins, a couple of stragglers 3 games behind that competing for the also-ran status in finals, then nothing worth remembering

Ladder prediction:
1. Brisbane
2. West Coast
3. Richmond
4. Melbourne
5. Geelong
6. Footscray
7. Port Adelaide
8. St Kilda or Carlton or loose change

Thanks for not mentioning I picked West Coast for the flag! 😬😂

...I hadn't actually paid any attention to that, but now that you bring it up, I'm thinking you wouldn't be really unhappy about being proven wrong there 😂.

To be honest, it hasn't surprised me at all to see the decline of the likes of Collingwood, Geelong, West Coast and to an extent Richmond.  All those teams have a large number of key players on their lists who have slowly fossilized over the past few seasons.  I've been somewhat expecting our list to deliver in their mental maturity for a few seasons now as I think that was the only thing holding us back and now that it seems to have clicked in that respects, I fully expect to blow the aforementioned teams off the park more often than not, with the superior physical fitness that comes from our core players being in their prime window.

GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
