Cats can’t get it into their fwd line at all, Pies helped by favourable umpire decisions on around their half back, but gee the Pies play fast

    I could only listen to the game. In my opinion Collingwood is a serious contender this year.  I hope I can say the same for the mighty Dees around this time tomorrow night. GO DEES!!!

    Did you seriously downplay the Pies for this season, layz?

    Most I know were predicting at least top 4 ... they are probably the most skilled team in the league and are getting better

    The Kings Birthday clash will be an absolute ripper.  But who starts favourite? 

    I had them in the 8 Macca. Great unit across the board and I think their back 6 is among the best but they still have a lot of their best players over 30. Not sold on Cameron holding down the ruck spot for a whole season yet.

    Good side but was expecting a step back this year.

    Pies will be a real threat this year. We already can’t beat them at the best of times…

    Scott thought he could beat them in a shoot out. Next time they play you can bet they’ll play that horrible slow keeping’s off stuff instead.

    Their run last year was tremendous.  Their ball movement from half back through the middle and into their forward line is something a lot of other teams can learn from.  Precision skills

    And they are quick   The Daicos lads don't get tackled (for instance) ... just like their old man!

    They are a team we need to get past if we're going to salute

    So without kicking a ball in anger yet we’re now equal premiership favourites on Sportsbet and TAB.

    Not sure if UK bookies follow their Aussie counterparts in setting their odds but I jumped on the Pies at 5.0 with the Cats just 3 goals up from fewer scoring shots. Feel dirty but that’s tomorrow’s beer paid for!

    We've had our troubles with the Pies but we can beat them.  Don't ask me how, ask our coaches and our MC!

    We're going to need a good plan as it's hard to get the ball off them when they're firing.  And a lot of their scoring opportunities emanate from half back with continuous possession

    It seems I have greater faith than you in the Dees. I base this on knowing that we learnt much over the past few years.

    For instance: how to beat Geelong when it mattered after countless painful losses: round 23, 2021 to take the minor premiership. Smashed them in the Prelim 2021 also. Won the Premiership in 2021. Apply the same to all comers this year including Pies and with ordinary luck/injuries and we'll have every chance to take anybody anytime.

    Bring on Kings Birthday. I can't wait to see the Dees take the Pies on.

    • 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.
