I’m most interested to see if Maysie is actually playing… seems the medical staff haven’t advised him yet that he’s been put in ice for the season?

    Thank goodness they didn't bring may back for a pointless game. Get him ready for a huge 2025.

    Would had preferred to see woey or k Brown in, instead of Laurie.

    Not sure what options they had to cover a mid?

    I reckon there'll be 45K at the game

    Is Taj under contract next year?

    Spaz usually plays a defensive mid role.  They probably figure Laurie is about as close to that as we'll get as he's a bit of a tackling machine at Casey level at times.

    Whether that translates to a similar role / outcome at senior level we'll have to wait and see i guess.

    MAYSIE LIED TO ME!

    He told me he’d be playing tomorrow 

    😭😭😭

    A win against that filthy mob will be a delight of the highest order!  
    The icing on a very rich cake, would be Tracc in the circle as we belt the Grand Old Flag for the last time in ‘24, and announce ourselves for ‘25.    
    Bring it on Dees!

    Oh look its the coriander brothers!

     

    Or whatever that nonsense was that was being discussed round here lately 😀

    Nonsense? NONSENSE??? I’ll have you know they were dead serious about the coriander deal. They couldn’t have been more serious had it been a multimillion dollar property deal. Oh, they were hella serious. Chin even showed Tracc how big his Coriander bush is now by opening his arms high and wide and exclaiming “No sch!tt, it’s bigger than me!” Tracc gulped.

    Yeah, yeah deal of the century blah blah.

    Coriander is the cantaloupe of the herb world. Not bad but honeydew is the money melon.

    And this is why I should know better than to believe anything the senior players say. I’ll stick with the young ones, they readily answer a question and it’s always an honest answer and then they throw in their life story for good measure 😅

    I was thinking more about not playing Jefferson and getting some surgery done early.

    The pies for instance are managing mcstay.


    If we're going to gift a game to Laurie, we may as well have given Ben Brown a farewell match.

    They'd have much the same impact running through the midfield

    Nar Old Kent Road, and Whitechapel more likely

    Yeah well Jeffo named as emergency on a nothing game last week. Just goes to show that not only is he is close but RATED! AND if a tall calls in crook, he's first cab of the rank!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
