    Bumping for tonight. Isn’t it nice being able to enjoy the whole weekend of footy basking in a Thursday night victory. 

    It is good. Prime time week after week too. Trouble is, by Sunday it seems so long ago I'm busting for more Demons footy.

    People have laughed at us for years, came across this and found it amusing. Would love the Crows to beat Essendon  just to see the next instalment.

     

    The guy who puts those together does one every week. They're very funny. I don't want to see one when they win though.

    Big test for the puddies tonight. Reckon Brisbane will run them off their feet and, unlike Collingwood, will be able to sustain it for the 4 quarters. Would love to see the Suns do the Blues in. Reckon that would cause a rupture in the narrative-scape that might just see AFL media eat its own tail.

    So who are we all going for tonight? Hate the cats, but surely we prefer them to win and give the Lions what will surely be a rare loss this year?

     

    EDIT: Esava Ratugolea is out tonight, which will surely be a plus for the Cats 👹.
    Tom Stewart is out too though, so it's not all good news in the old folks home.

    Could be a half way decent game tonight!

    I have a modest investment on the Bears.

    [censored] I hate Geelong and their [censored] of a coach.

    We all do [hate Jee-long]. But no Duckwood & Rohan tonight to hate.

    Am I right in thinking this is the first game of footy played at Geelong since the greatest 4th quarter in the history of the game?

    With the city end of the Litter Tray out of commission I wonder if they're allowing away fans into the place and if so where they're housing them?

    Don’t care about top spot in April, I would get much greater joy seeing the Lions win easily tonight.

    I don't care about top spot in April either. I do care about top spot in October, and you don't get that if other top sides don't drop games in April.

    It’s a disgrace the amount of funding that’s gone into building a stadium that is only used by one team in one sport for 8 games a year.

    I wonder if the 20th license should go down the road? Regional Victoria could most definitely sustain another team if they also played 3-4 games in Ballarat. The pandemic has driven massive growth outside of the city.

    Not a bad game of footy after the first 5 minutes. Both teams very clean. 

    Interesting that McStay and Daniher are both running to the same spot time after time, but it is McStay who presents so well when they do. 

    I love seeing a tagger v star battle, but can't believe Neale is being blocked from so many contests.

    Seems a bit harsh - A-League and T20 World Cup matches have/will be played there this year as well at least.

    Both sides have missed a couple of gettable ones. It's not just the Dees who do it.

    Yes and at great expense to the management have hired the Village People to retrieve the errant footy.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
