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.

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. 

Don't want to sound rude but Idgaf what odds we are.

Odds change by the amount of money people put down, doesn't mean [censored]

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

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

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.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
