    Don't underestimate how hard someone can try if it REALLY matters to them, and I think this may mean more to Grundy than anyone else. (Of course Max is much better normally)

    We should try to expose his lack of marking ability. He'll get completely outmarked by Gawn and Schache hopefully.

    Play it hard, fast and with an ounce of mongrel brutality, guys, as a stamp of respect to Gus.

     

    I just realised I'm yet to renew my membershp. Oh well I'll do it soon.

    I just believe the start of the season has come around. 

    Looking foward tonight to see what we can do and what our new players can show. 

    Hope Oliver goes well and Viney just gets in there and does what he does best.

    At home on the tele with a glass of brandy and some fine cheese and smoked salmon. I like to play up the stereotype on occasion :)

    On the couch with my mate Covid. Isolating out of “an abundance of caution”. 
    Last time I watched a game by myself was the GF I think. Go Dee’s, do us proud.

    yeah reckon i’ll head to the globe. 


    Seriously, aside from the ridiculous opening round baloney, how good is it that we get the opening bounce of the year?

    JUST IMAGINE

    Ball is bounced - Maxxy towers over Grundy to tap it straight to Clarry who, almost immediately, handballs it to Trac who kicks it to a running ANB, who spears a pass straight into Fritter's open arms - and he slots it for our first goal of the year with that trusty left foot.

    Mind you, Jack was in the thick of it, making sure nobody got within a mile of Trac. Does he (fairly) take out a few guys en route to our score? I dunno, you tell me.

    Home ground is the only significant factor they have to model. Unless they are mathing media BS, no exposed form orherwise.

    Yes, home ground advantage is the main reason my model is predicting Sydney. My model, and all the other Squiggle models, carry over team ratings from the prior season. My model has Melbourne rated higher, but the home advantage to Sydney is greater.

    Big leadership hole for the Swans. Previous abs current captain out. No Buddy to rely on

    We need to lock down Blakey, I wonder who takes him?

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
