We'll see.

I'm waiting for the odds to drift a bit, and when they do i'm going to back them to miss the 8.

Will help me enjoy their losses even more. 

None of us can stand the Filth. But based on 2022 and one game in 2023, they are light years ahead of 12 other teams (at least). It's an awful reality with which we all have the come to grips with at sometime.

    Too much ‘melb’ in above table. 

    It’s because we won so many flags….

    I wonder who the photo is of on the front of the North players jumpers?

    The pies remind me of the Dees in 2021. Just can’t hate that footy. Taking the game on and backing your skills. Not overcoached. Not much stilted play.

    And they made Geelong look old and slow.

    Plus an unwavering belief they can win. Always. No matter what. That belief won us a flag in 2021 (plus obvious talent). It’s very powerful and very hard to stop!

    Before Thursday nights game I though only 4/5 clubs could win it, after that game it was confirmed.

    Hunt in those horrible colours is really upsetting. Hope he has a great career moving forward. Always loved him at the Dees!

    Norf look a lot less incompetent than previously. At least they move the ball with some logic and purpose.

    We tried moving him forward @Jaded No More. Mixed results.

    Kudos to the umps. A play on for kick not travelled far enough (should have called a zillion last night but didn't) and a holding the ball for one those "oh [censored], I'm surrounded and no way out ... I'll lie on the ground and ump will call for a ball up" situations.

    How well are the AFL going with the colours the umpires are wearing in round one. I fully expect them to be wearing red , blue and a little white tonight.

    Losing to North... must be tough being an Eagles supporter these days.

    Just amazing how they have bottomed out

    It’s what happens when a group becomes comfortable and no one pushes to change the status quo.

    Long season ahead for the eagles. very stodgy ball movement.

    north should be at least 2 goals further ahead

    The filth are much better than I thought they were.

    to beat the premiers in the round 1. Bloody good effort. I hate saying that!

    I can't help but think West Coast are gone.

    Please make sure to find this post and stick in in my face when they come back and win.

    West Coast still have some very good players on paper, and  I know it’s very early on but they look exactly like last year and don’t give a [censored] about their performances.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
