There's actually people there. GWS should just move lock, stock & barrel to Canberra. I doubt anyone in Sydney would notice the removal truck leave. 

100% agree and move North to Tasmania while we are at it.

Giants ball movement is haphazard. Saints look 100 times cleaner and more efficient. Their defence is giving the giants no time and space. Reminds me of another team in this league.

Preuss is a big man and is playing like it. He'll get a few more games yet if he keeps on presenting like this.

Don't mind Big Preuss and would like to see him do well.

I’m amazed no one in the media has ever pointed out that an umpire is far more likely to pay holding the ball if the ball becomes dislodged from the tackled players’ hands.

It makes no sense but a common trend amongst all umpires.

very interested to see how we go against the aints in a few weeks

they seem to be able to get a man - usually 'missy' higgins - out the back on a regular basis, and max king's height + mobility might actually be a tough match-up for may; i wonder whether petty might be a better match-up

You know how there are certain opposition players you can't help but love watching? Tom Green is great to watch. Pure old school midfielder with vision, grunt and class.

May has handled King in the past     Too strong

What a rubbish free kick to Flynn! And the Saints players are not allowed to say anything.

yeah, but he's clearly much, much stronger in the contest now, and seems to be reading the ball in the air a lot better this season

Agreed he has improved.  We'll have to wait until we play them to see how it pans out!

This is a very lacklustre game Very. Reminds me of a suburban game

i reckon our defensive structure will be able to stop them and - at least judging by the two games i've watched them play this year - they're free-scoring and lack the defensive accountability that is our trademark

they can definitely score quickly tho

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
