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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
