    Today should be a regulation take the 4 points and move on game. We are contenders, Essendon are pretenders.

    If the weather turns out to be as ****ty as some are suggesting then that may prove something of an equaliser.

    Would be a highlight to see someone run over the "choirboy" Parish. Stringer can turn it on, but against us, he'll find it a difficult proposition surrounded by quality defenders.

    I actually don't mind Draper. Good ruckman and useful up forward so will make Grundy work.

    Tip. Kozzie to kick four in another 50 point win.

    PS. My sources inform that @WalkingCivilWar is currently in a horseless carriage and on route to Adelaide. Imagine being in the same vehicle for that journey! Poor bastards!

    I think it’s time to start a Deathriding thread for Essendon.

    I know we don’t have their draft pick but I hate them so much!

    Or some good old fashioned jumper waving after the win.

    Ugh. Working in a secure environment until about 6.30. Not even phones.

    Boooooo.

    Add an extra yell for me, all right?

    I'll probably watch the game on replay anyway, so if it is a proper thriller please name the match thread 'Spoiler Alert'.

    How many Essendon players would get into our team? Stringer perhaps, if he did a 6-week intensive strength and conditioning program. Merritt maybe. I like Ridley and Draper but we have superior players in their positions.

    We are a much better team and should be aiming for a regulation 5-6 goal win.

    If it's wet, we win by 15 if its dry we win by 35.

    I’ll have you know that I have the very important job of keeping the others awake. And I’m nailing it! Maybe nailing it a little too much, one of them just asked me if I’d like a pillow for when I doze off. 🤭 Not happenin’ anytime soon though coz…

    Rookie error, girls. Don’t let me loose in the servo. 😁

    Dees win today, AND Pies get the job done tomorrow (which they will as another pretender a la Blues goes down), Monday morning the MFC is top of the ladder.  Then come and get us.

    Sunny but windy this side of the Maribyrnong this morning. 30km bike ride already done and bacon & egg roll and 2nd coffee already demolished. Let's shake off the setback of our 2023 draft placings momentarily and focus on the red & blue buzz saw that will be adding Essendon to the wood chip pile this afternoon.

    We just have to thrash them. I don't want a close game, I don't want to see stringer kicking goals. Lets make there supporters afternoon miserable. Oh and Brad Scotts to.

    If the forecast for rain in Adelaide looks like being accurate, BBB should be replaced 

    Very sceptical about BBB playing if there's steady rain

    Would love a ten goal flogging of the Bombers, of course always happy to just win and take the four points.

    Agree with many posters, if it pours JJ in for BBB seems to make sense!

    Kossie for 5.2 this week!

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
