Least he shouldn't  get 50 for Ump abuse.

What about hands raised 50m penalites? Although they have relaxed that one a bit.

Better than Fritsch - you're joking surely!

I really hope you understood what I wrote Old. 

I said better at ground level. Especially in the wet.

    And if we win, I hope you'll be prepared to say we won the game at the selection table.

    Re; Spargo - Do you play him if he can't adequately communicate?

    Yep, no players kick to him when he is wide open anyway

    unless of course you are on the list for two years playing at Casey and then are delisted without debuting

    Selection table(s) week after week when opportunity rather than neccesity presented itself

    I was thinking the exact opposite

    If we make changes, eg, rest players for the PF and lose, we lost it at the selection table

    So Goodwin has decided that to take the best ruckman in the league away from the ruck and play him in the forward pocket was not a sensational idea? If only he read Demonland. 

    Yep, the time to debut JVR was 6 weeks ago. It's too late now. You cannot bring in a child to play a key role against men who have 200+ games of experience behind them. The best thing about Melksham is that he knows how to drag the interceptor away from the contest. JVR would have no idea how to do that yet, and he isn't proven enough to demand a key defender on him. 

    It is a super duper risky move, that could actually set him back.

    However, it's balls to walls time and we have everything to lose. So if they do bite the bullet I will support it.

    Maybe sitting next to Yze, Stafford and co in the box, needs to be a demonland representative suggesting DL best ideas

    Or if you are a medi-sub, which counts towards your games tally, but never actually make it on the ground.

    I can't believe our season could be over tomorrow night

    I think we are all a little nervous about this one. We should win, but the artillery barrel had been bent slightly - enough to predict that our team is a lesser self than it was previously. The snot goblins will be out to achieve an AFL spectacular - otherwise known as a Brisbane win from behind expectations - so we can expect a reasonably steep incline on the playing field. It is going to be tough and seemingly unfair under such circumstances. Let's just hold our heads high, whatever the result.

    Lets also make a huge amount of noise, and act like Collingwood supporters. Just for 4 quarters, then please switch back straight after the game :)

    That must stop on Friday. He is so often 'out there in the wilderness of space' that he has created to spectate on the ball sailing way over to a congested mess for team rectification. He's as good as Caleb Daniel and is wasted on the field.

    The victim mentality and whinging about the umpires has started early this week.

    Question for @binman 

    If Petracca is more likely to play more time forward and ANB’s main job is to cover Petracca’s opponent defensively in the middle when he plays in the middle. 
     

    Surely there is no need for ANB and he is first dropped after his last couple of games..

    I’m no ANB fan, but the same situation applies. He’s just covering 2 HBF’s instead of one and a mid

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
