Just got back from training.  Excellent news - Paxy took part in full training and seemed fine. 🤩  Hopefully she'll stay that way! Maddie Gay and Aimee Mackin started apart from the main group, t

It’s not just “elsewhere” that they chose. It’s Ikon. And to say they’ve turned their back on their own home ground is a little melodramatic. Up until today we’ve never lost at Ikon. The amenities at

Surely on a Sunday afternoon at Ikon for $10 a ticket (kids go free) we’ll pull a big crowd.

That's a bit rude WCW !

You bastardised my post! I said “I smell a BBQ 😂”  Had I said, “I smell a BBO” I would’ve chosen a different emoji, this one… 💩

No game on Friday night. Probably because RDB’s memorial service is on Friday. 

AFL really have nothing to do with that unless you feel it is a respect issue for the Club.

That could have featured another game if they wanted to.

State Govt and the Barassi family organised the date arrangements for the Memorial service on Friday.

You think for even a second they wouldn’t have a final on TV on a Friday night? Of course they would!

It actually is out of respect that there’s no matches scheduled for Friday night.

And I wouldn’t say the AFL has nothing to do with it. Ron was a lifetime AFL member and a champion of the VFL/AFL, the inaugural Hall of Fame inductee. Of course the AFL has something to do with it!

I've got my ticket!

This game is anxiety central. Like others, I feel that North is really on the brink of breaking through right now. We need a big effort. Soft fixture or otherwise, everything resets now and nothing is guaranteed, for us or anyone else. Hopefully we'll have the crowd behind us like we did last game against them. Every bit counts!

Yep, have to say I'll really be pleased if we win on Sunday.  Who plays will be important but I think fate might be against us.

I’m actually super confident about Sunday. At Ikon (our home away from home), clement weather predicted (20 degrees with slight chance of rain) in front of what’s expected to be a good-sized crowd and vs North, who I feel we’ll comfortably beat. Bring it on!!!

I wish I could be so optimistic.  You have my admiration. 😁

It would be nice to see some of our M players there to support the girls. I realise they’re still on their break and some of them are away on holidays but even just a couple of them attending would be great. Would mean a lot to the players, I’m sure.

Well we know that at least Ben Brown will be there. 😁

He sure will be. And we’ll likely not even spot him. I’ve noticed at training and warmups etc. when he leaves the field he walks amongst the players and keeps his head down. He knows it’s not about him. Such an incredible person.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
