A two-horse race for the Brownlow? Very odd indeed

    I reckon pies are no certainty to even make the 8. How would of they gone this year with our 2022 fixture?  11- 11 

    Their army of supporters helps them over the finish line  but  they wont have the same staggering luck in 23. Theyll be taken more seriously too.

    Premiers?   lions dees cats blues maybe swans. Injuries will come into it as usual.

    I think Carlton will fill the Collingwood slot for 2023, they are due and if they start well the nomentum will carry them through.

    Too many good players to stay down

    Geelong put everything into 2022. Selwood gone and Hawkins another year older

    expecting them to be around 6th next year, especially with their tough draw

    I think Geelong will come off it a bit with the tougher draw, Collingwood will get a reality check that their do or die brand is just not sustainable and Sydney will struggle with expectation. 

    Brisbane are the ones for mine that present the most upside but it will depend on how their forward line functions now without McStay - Daniher a year older. Not sure Hipwood is a focal point. Feels a bit like MFC 2022ish. 

    Also cannot count out the Doggies, they have one of the best lists in the AFL with superstars all over the forward half of the ground.

    Injuries will come into the reckoning for our '23 season. That is what excites me about our accumulating depth, our mix of youth with some experience and varied talents, and our stable of hard-liners with credentials scattered across the field. We've got this one!

    Yep, they are the ones. Depends a lot on how Bevo measures up in 2023...

    The list is more balanced across the ground if they chose it to be that way.

    That first game is going to be a good one.

    False teeth ferals won a million games by a few pionts last year, VERY LUCKY. They wont have the same fortune this year.I expect them to finish lower than shark sheeit at the bottom of the Caymen trench this year.😡

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
