    We have no point of defence for this so just be glad we are not walking around wearing umbrellas as slippers.

    Also, we have been waiting a while so we are reassessing what we expect to happen almost weekly - and that is going to end in tears one way or the other...

    What are you talking about rp?

    Mushrooms are good today?

    The big thing for me is keeping our list as fit/injury-free as possible. Do that and we'll give 2021 a real shake. Luck is so tied to success in the AFL.

    So yeah, keeping a lid on it...

    Luck is certainly a key element.

    As someone who is nearly old enough to remember 1964, I do think momentum is a key element that is often under-rated. It can snowball against you, or for you. 

    The benefits of momentum are increasingly appearing for the Demons in 2021. I don't think many of us could have anticipated an outcome such as Christian P. signing for 7 years, a good 18 months before his current contract expires. 

    This has to have a positive impact on the group, and then makes the job of singing our next wave of young stars significantly easier. 

    For what it is worth, I think we are now a very good chance of capturing Merrett's interest at the end of the year as well.

    It's all about whether Essendon match our offer.

    I can't imagine they wouldn't, but it depends how much he wants to come.

    Whilst it is apparent for some that Goodwin can't coach, it appears EVERYONE loves Goodwin at the club, so why WOULDN'T Merrett want to come (sorry for yelling)

    Why not get excited?

    The lids off, its way off. 
    We have the cattle, the game plan and the coaches to go all the way.
    The players are resigning on long deals at a rapid rate. Everything (bar Tomlinsons injury) is going right at the club for once.

    However it’s very competitive at the top end of the ladder, there’s about 6 teams that have shown enough to suggest they can win it all this year.

    Just being a team that can contend, come back in games when challenged and win games gets me excited.

    We are a competitive chance to win any game, against anyone in the competition and that is enough to get excited about.

    Well  if I wasn’t already excited, I certainly am now!!!

     I wasn’t expecting to go to this week’s game, but to my sheer Dee-light I am!

    Just gonna share...

    I have a husband and three sons, not one of whom is even remotely Interested in footy, nor sport in general. (I must’ve done something terrible in a previous life.) In particular, my 25yo son, a green tea-sipping, vegan, climate-change-active, tree-hugging, incense-burning, totes left-leaning, full-time uni. student who lives in a share house in Footscray that has no less than eight different recycling bins. He takes me to a handful of games each season but that’s usually after I wage a war of attrition, which I always eventually win. Incidentally, I find the most effective ammo in my arsenal is a protracted campaign of “can you take us to Mt. Splashmore?” type nagging. But...

    He just called to tell me he’s bought us tickets to Saturday’s game! I didn’t even have to ask!

    I am SO not gonna put him up for adoption, now. ?

    And I thought my sister was bad with FOUR different recycling/waste Bins.

    I shall not judge her so harshly.

    It's been a pretty great few weeks for us long suffering supporters! Oliver re-signs, Salem re-signs, comprehensively beat the Tigers, undefeated on top of the ladder, Jackson rising star nomination, Petracca re-signs - even Fritsch getting off at the tribunal.

    Let's hope this run continues throughout the year and we finally get some reward for our years/decades of heartache.

    I’d ask him but I wouldn’t want to put him into the embarrassing situation of not having an answer. ?

    Not thinking premierships but definitely thinking deep into finals.
    Boys are playing for each other and enjoying their footy.
    Young guns Jackson and Picket coming along in leaps and bounds and looking to be genuine thoopastars of the future.
    Key signings without all the usual BS.
    Mounting injury list my only fear.
    Long term knee for Tomlinson a huge downer.

    Wow, I've been using a hair drier for years; on batteries, on circuit boards and on shrink wrapping/ insulation. I don't have any hair so it's been great re-purposing but who would have thought you could find even more uses!

    Apologies, I thought you where talking about a hair dryer, oops! Now hair conditioner; I've only been able to repurpose as a lubricant! ..... no you filthy beast, not that kind of lubricant.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
