Won't go down well with the flogger wavers on this site but the opinion was asked for.

As far as I know I’m the *sole flogger waver here, surely you’re not referring to me, Layz. 😉 🙃 🫣

*In terms of regular contributors, that is. A couple of my fellow flogger wavers read DL but rarely -  if ever - post on here. (Hey guys! 👋  Seeya at the next working bee!🥰)

    No we need those flogger wavers. 

    Just not the ones that pick you off with a shotgun when you say you aren't sure about top 4!

    And honestly they're fine too, I don't care.

    I’m both types then. 🤭 Except I wouldn’t pick anyone off with a shotgun. I’m more of a slowly torture someone into submission kinda gal. 😁

    I'm getting a nagging feeling we might just explode this season.  Possibly in a bad way, but I think we could just as likely explode in a good way and not just be compeditive, but really dominate the competition on the way to that illusive flag at the G.

    Starting to get a little impatient with the off season too and thinking about counting down the days till Rd 1, oh - wait does that even work?!

    I'm not interested in an illusive flag.  I want a real one!

    No doubt in my mind we’ll be in the top 4-5 teams competing for the flag. The Clarry sitch is a major concern but we just need to see what happens there.( i have low expectations there). we need tall fwds to stand up and a consistent fwd line that the mids can get used to kicking to. We need to regain that hungry winning mentality in finals. we have good kids coming in which will help. there are no unbeatable teams out there so we are in the mix

    We did OK last year whilst Clarry was supposedly hamstrung. I'm confident that with Rivers spending more time midfield (not unlike Young at Freo) and Gus moving to the inside, we'll fill any need for midfield talent. 

    My wish is that McQualter works on our midfield/forward connection. I have little faith that Goodwin can improve that without a fresh face on the coaching panel. Improve our i50 conversions and keep the injuries to a minimum and we should make the grannie

    Must admit I’m feeling less confident for the ultimate success in 2024 as the season approaches. ☹️

    We need to get some positive news soon!

    Hopefully someone will train the house down this week. Please…

    We will be in the mix this year. I have absolutely no doubt about this. We have recruited well and a number of our younger players will step up . We have been a force to be reckoned with for three years now.

    The more the media drills in on our finals losses just cements the fact that they see as a major threat.

    There may be a couple of issues at present but nothing that will makes us fall of the cliff. I also doubt that our forward line will be so decimated by injuries again. 

    Hold on good Demonlanders.

    It's time to be excited.

    This will be the year of the Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    Despite the Press’s constant niggling and rehashing our two problem children’s storyline’s I am feeling extremely confident that we are in a similar phase as we were at the end of 2020. Our list is disappointed and hungry, we have recruited to fill needs and we have a number of youngsters that will be pushing for spots in the team. We are ready and primed, we may not win the first nine games but we will be in contention when it counts.!!!

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
