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….

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
