Okay fellow Dlanders, I'm going to call that we will finish 6th this season.

Hopefully we don't suffer too many injuries this year and our midfield gets back to its prime which sees us into the finals.

I imagine that the giants and dogs slip out.

Not long now.

Go Dees.

    Top 4 finish.

    Easy draw, everyone up and firing, seasoned team with good mix of youth, Rivers & JVR set to explode.

    Absolutely no excuses.

    Finish 2nd, smash Carlton in the QF on a Friday night in front of 97,500 fans followed by Brisbane in the Prelim by 26. Play The GF in front of a full house, Oliver wins Norm Smith, Disco kicks 7 and Max retires holding the cup.

    unless something goes horribly wrong, max won't be retiring at the end of 2025

    happy for him to be holding up the premiership cup bit of this narrative to happen tho

    Ok then Max confirms he’s going again but doesn’t mention a Dynasty this time around whilst also holding up the cup.

    I’m thinking top eight, but not top four. At who’s expense I have no idea, but I’m hoping that Freo implodes and does a Dees ‘24.

    We will finish 5th and Fremantle will finish 4th. Brisbane and GWS Grand Final. There are no excuses, and we have a great draw playing North Melbourne and West Coast twice. Harvey Langford to win the Rising Star award.

    We will be at the G on the last Saturday of September.

    To back that up I've booked a city hotel for that weekend - this year it is a non-refundable booking!!

    My long range prediction is that we'll win both the '25 and '26 flags.

    We have the cattle to finish top 4 but much depends on: 

    - a good run with injuries 

    - a competitive game plan. 
     

    if we don’t change the way we play, with a fully fit and with key players in top form, we could still finish top 8 playing predictable, defensive footy but we won’t cut it come finals against the sides playing the hard running, unpredictable, offence first footy we saw last season especially from Premiers, Brisbane. 

    The early signs I will be looking out for are:

    - Max taking marks around the ground and going back to take a long high kick down the line VS immediately dishing off a handball to a mid running past. 

    - the coach lamenting the lack of connection between the midfield and forwards after we have won the hit outs, the clearances, the contested possessions and inside 50’s but still managing a close win/loss VS the coach lauding our forward efficiency that got us over the line.

    No, No! 

    I meant the chant when the game is won!  ideally in the last minute after we had a 'Bang! bang, bang!!! series of goals ala 2021 GF but end of 4th qtr not the 3rd. 

    Oh such a sweet enhancement to the ChatGPT predicted 10pt win!

    • 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.

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
