I've got a personal training session from 5:30 so will have to listen later. I have a feeling though that the Saints will come out firing for Spud's game. In a professional sport, there probably shouldn't be a need to find extra motivation, but I have a spooky feeling that this will be the case. Just call it intuition.

Maybe we will come out firing like we did for Tom Hafeys tribute game.

We can pay respects to Spud too....  Angus is even dating his daughter I believe.

Spud was a great guy.

Hopefully we’ve got Langdon playing on the same wing as Brad Hill. That will be good to watch

Will be a cracker. Langdon has so far proved many of us wrong that said we should've targeted Hill. So far.

To be fair, he did Improve it last year right around the time of the "red myst" fox footy critiques.

there’s big difference in body shape here. Gawn hasn’t got the weight of Hawkins to do that at stoppages. The amount of times hawkins shoves the rucks in the bk at throw ins and gets away with it astonishes me. The geelong rucking subrule ie it’s in the back unless a. it’s a geelong player at kardinia park or b. it’s hawkins 

Max actually weighs 108kg v Hawkins 101kg

Sadly, true. The AFL has lost control of the rules it implements. This is no level playing ground, just an avenue for cash.

    Hill doesn't have langdons engine. I expect him to do well as our link player. And as usual about 10m in the clear

    Saints supporters are a weird bunch. They look like the types to either be doing lines of cocaine off a toilet at Revolver at 3am on a Wednesday, or to own a Cash Converters along the Nepean Highway.

    Feeling a little confident, certainly a little too vocal already.. geez I hope we win. Could set the season up!

    I think we're fast enough just don't think we kick the footy well enough. You're fast enough if you can move the ball efficiently and effectively.

    No worries at all

    We’ll rip the Aints a new one and that kid King will wish he’d stuck to basketball when May gets through with him.

    And yes......... I’ve got money on us. ( Well a good bottle of Shiraz actually!)

    I can't remember the last time I put money on us. I always bet on the other team and am happy to lose the money to bag the 4 points. Win Win. C'mon Dees take my money.

    No and the Saints will run us off our feet and we will be out coached (not for the first time) this season  

    That’s my positive take on tonight’s match

    Ah, that needs to be changed back to 'Apathy' in reference to my Uncle Humphrey's eponymous song.

    I think someone had a go at me for that being listed as one of my interests, so I changed it to 'boundless optimism'. Rest assured it has now been changed to it's original status.

    Edited by Colin B. Flaubert

    I do not have the slightest clue why, but Im excited and confident about this game.

    All will be revealed.

    Go you good Demons.


    Tipping us tonight! 

    Thinking Tmac will have a good day (as long as he doesn't do that over the top of th tackler with the ball move) and our mids will be on top

    Just hoping we can kick a winning score.

    Me too - but my gut tells me that the Saints will jump us early, we’ll come back, but end up losing by about 20.

     

    Let’s hope my guts are crook!

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
