That WC v GWS game is a nightmare to tip.

Ordinarily you’d be tipping GWS but they’re missing Whitfield, Kelly and Perryman from last weeks side and are on a long road trip to Perth after a 35 degree brutal game.

Had West Coast last week, will go with them again but they are losing a friend in me fast if they lose this.

Carlton should beat the old Cats. Im a little worried about their midfield without Walsh and Hewitt but they should dominate up front without Stewart there

Both adelaide teams are a serious shout against the Pies/Tiges

WC will get on the board against GWS

and I'm hoping Gold Coast crush the bombers. If Weid is injured along with Fat Jake and Wright, who do they even have?

Some cracking games this weekend.

Other than Hawks vs Sydney, the rest could all go either way. Although you'd think Freo will destroy North

I’ve gone eagles for those reasons. 2 of their best runners out.

What about Essendon v GC?

Recency bias would suggest Essendon but they beat a tanking Hawthorn last week and remain pretty shoddy on paper. GC were insipid last week but surely know they have to right the ship pretty quickly to avoid being stuck in their permanent world of irrelevance.

A 0 - 2 start for the Cats would be welcome.

Suns normally start the season well, Sydney would have been a tough task for anyone. I rate their midfield higher than Essendon’s. Chol and Casboult aren’t start but paired well together last season. Suns won 10 games last year, Bombers 7 with Peter Wright. I think Suns are great value.

Losing to Geelong isn’t a choke, it’s how they lose.

If Curnow or McKay didn’t mark it, the ball came flying back out, and when McKay did mark it he struggled in front of goals. Why do key fwds continue to try and kick around their body.

Yes BA, I'll be interested to see how they handle the last few mins if they're up by a goal or two.

I hope you're right.  Essendon have already had too much success this season for my liking

Tipping GC to bounce back and beat the scum. I am hoping there not as bad as what they showed last week.

I want to tip them, I really do. Just can't quite see it, their record stinks there recently.

Carlton and Cats is one of those games where I can't decide who i want to lose more. Another draw perhaps!

Pies v Port should be a ripper. Looking forward to that one.

I reckon Adelaide will beat the Tiges. They choked badly against GWS so will be out to atone on their home deck.

And I'll be cheering on Norf when they take on Freo. #deathride

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
