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.

    Too many people think Collingwood will go further this year.

    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.😡

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.
