    My favorites Casper Ruud and Elena Rybakina both gone. At least Alcaraz is still in the draw, and hopefully he knocks out [censored]. 

    The beauty of being a huge tennis, Aussie Rules and Soccer fan. If the Dees flop I turn to the tennis season watching my favorite players, if they flop (Casper Ruud often does) I revert back to Melbourne. If Melbourne aren’t too flash I go watch Tottenham… 😂😂😂

    Round 1 against GWS cannot come quick enough…

    Go Demon!

    The Demon Man is the only thing keeping me engaged in tennis this year, everyone else seems more intent on off court dramas that it’s turned the AO into the Grand Slam version of Married at First Sight - everyone more interested in creating drama for [censored] and giggles that we’ve all forgotten what the whole point of the event is.

    The problem with Chompers is he thinks he's the funniest person in the room. If Spud was still with us he would absolutely eviscerate Chomp.

    theres still plenty to watch.

    If you saw Vukic play Draper you would have seen not only the best tennis so far but the exploitation of skill and lack of. (Drapers backhand is seriously poor) Alcaraz then beat Draper but did show that he couldnt alter his game to exploit that weakness. Demon has plenty to work for to progress past him. (Unfortunately Alcaraz is such a dominant erratic player he has enough weapons of his own to beat most opponents ).With Sinner and Dojokavic both showing distractions from their tennis playing it is an interesting tournaments. There are no certainties unlike the years of the triumverate Roger, Raffa and Joker.

    the vision of sinner having the shakes yesterday was pretty frightening

    tonight's match-up between djoker and alcaraz is going to be a rippier i think

    and then tomorrow for demon vs sinner should be a pearler too

    The tennis has been fantastic (as it always is)

    And with players like Alcaraz, Swiatek, Djokovic, Sabalenko & Sinner about, what's not to like?

    And the Demon of course!  

    Danielle giving it to the mob - magnificent!!  Smart, savvy and the lady has got gumption!

    Novak was correct with his stance and Tony Jones should be tossed.  He's an embarrassment to himself and the country

    I’m not a TJ fan, in fact I’d celebrate the day he retires. However Novak handled the situation very poorly and just shows that he doesn’t understand Aussie culture.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
