I am looking forward to -

Fitter, more sustained pressure

Tougher, be the hunters, take no prisoners

Smarter, kick long when it’s on, lower the eyes or kick sideways to open space and no more loopy handballs which ar 50/50 at best. Blood the youngsters.

 We blooded Sparrow, JJ, LJ, Kozzie, Riv and Bowey over a two year period and won a Granny we need to be more daring and don’t carry injured players.

 

We will learn to win at the G more often than this season.

Clarry & Trac will again knock each other out of the Brownlow.

We will bounce back and win the GF.

3. One positive - we will finally win the free kick count against Footscray.

We won the free kick count 19-13 in last year's Grand Final, just in case you missed it.

Getting back on track, I’m sure we can bank on ourselves pulling our hair out at some point when the CS haven’t evolved…

either our list and composition changes drastically or we will have to adapt the game style

 

1. Clarry will be niggled, poked, pushed, held, gouged and punched every week with no protection from the umpires.

2.  The score review system will be crap again.

3. We will be motivated by this year and will win.

3. Last round interstate

Since 1998 we've been the designated home team in the final round just 7 out of a possible 25 times.

Since 1998 we've travelled just once interstate in round 1 (in fairness)

The sun will come up.

Gil will be gone from the AFL.

There will be no announcement on our home. 

The second of these is looking shaky. 

1. Charlie Spargo has a breakout season and is talked about as the next Brent Harvey.

2. Jacob Van Rooyen is mispronounced by a commentator during a huge pack mark... Rooyening the moment.

3. Christian Petracca will get the most Brownlow votes but will not be eligible due to suspension for bumping Patrick Cripps.

  1. De Going Nowhere will be locked up in a jail somewhere in Asia
  2. Colinwood will be filthy that they are paying 350k for Grundy to finish top five in the Bluey and win the Norm Smith
  3. Eddie and Jeff will propose a break-away Super League comp for white men only. 

1. Jake Melksham will be sh*t-canned on DL.

2. Jake Melksham will be sh*t-canned on DL.

3. Jake Melksham will be sh*t-canned on DL.

But you know what… I don’t care.
That he’s being sh*t-canned on DL means he’s with us for another year and that he’s with us for another year means the usual pot-shotters will be most aggrieved. And this amuses me no end. 😁

We are talking 2023 season. If he is still there then God help us as the AFL will have probably imploded. 

New blood on every line

Players injured must return through VFL

Defence + contest + speed of ball= success.

We can bank on Luke Jackson in *insert colours*

Not saying it is likely to happen but what if neither club could come up with a deal we like?

Well it is a possibility. I just feel like deals usually get done these days but who knows.

You missed Joel Smith will be [censored] canned as well *

 

*as long as he plays seniors .. playing ressies DL seems to think he will be the next Garry Ablett Senior if we played him forward....

Dees will miss the top 8.

I’ve actually thought this too. I just don’t think Goody will change enough and with the looming exit of Yze and possibly Mark Williams, the incoming coaches will probably not feel comfortable in challenging him.

 

1. Kozzy, finally will take Mark of the Year (century) on top of Luke Jackson's head in R1 trip to Perth (theatre);

2. Oliver or Petracca to win the Brownlow, both either way, they will finish either 1, 2 in the count; &

3. Dees to bounce back and beat the Blues in a thriller in the GF (just have a feeling about them?🤷‍♂️).

Agree with both points. Also, I think it’s fair to suggest that the improvement of the sides around us seems to be quickly surpassing the plateaued side we presented week-in-week-out (before I get shouted down by other posters, I do acknowledge the injuries we also carried).

  • 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.
