Scoring has really started to dry up as clubs have gone to work on one-another’s game plan and strategies. 

oh, i assumed we were the only one's 'worked out'.

That should’ve been play on. This is so frustrating to watch.

Honestly thought the bye rounds were over. Makes tonight even sillier. 

Making the need for a Thursday night game at Kardinia Park even more flabergasting.  Or last Thursday for that matter.

Carrot?

Wasn't a direct reference to your comment per se - just an acknowledgement that each club, each week, tries to implement a game plan to counter the alternate club, as they have done for time immemorial, but only if The Demons lose, have we being worked out.

And we drop a spot. Ugh

Yes it sucks to drop a spot.

However, it’s an indictment on us if an Essendon, Dogs or Adelaide knock us out of the top 4.

Its our spot in the top 4 to lose given our reasonable run home in August.

Well it appeared as direct reference to my thoughts.

That’s a pretty intense observation. Are you sure?

I know it seems knee jerk, but I’ve actually been observing it over a 3-4 month period and my analysis really stacks up.

This may sound sacriligeous but I want Freo to beat Ess this week and WBD next week to give us a one game break into the top 4.  They are the two main contenders for 4th and both have a very easy run home. 

The draft picks pale in significance with a spot in the top 4 @ EOS, on the line.

I know people want freo to lose but gee I hope they beat the bummers tonight. It would me me ill if they were on the same points as us. 

Agreed.

Absolutely no benefit in Essendon winning tonight with respect to our top 4 aspirations.

It’s not sacrilegious. It’s just common sense.

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
