They called us a powerhouse! Woo hoo! We're in!

I thought "The departures of chief executive Gary Pert and president Kate Roffey also didn’t help stabilising efforts." was a strange thing to say. At best you could describe it as an end to destabilisation - beating the termites by replacing the wood with concrete. Less generously you could say "efforts to destabilise the club reached fruition with the departure of Kate Roffey and Gary Pert, and have now concluded".

I wonder what they mean by 'dual-threat' about Nibbler? Maybe they are trying to invent a new way to say two-way runner?

I also wonder who this Jake Bowers character is?

Has anyone else noticed that 'Viney & Co" is now a rock-solid idiom in the AFL media? As in, media will get comments from Gawn, from May, from Goodwin, from Petracca, and from Viney & Co. Who is this mysterious "& Co"? Seems like a clear nickname waiting for the right person to attach to.

    seems mean and vindictive; too close to 'unco' for my liking

    I mentioned it a couple of months ago that our squad build in the last 24 months has placed us in a position where i personally think our squad is stronger than it has been for the last 3 years.

    *Shake up of our game plan 🤞 according to interviews by Goody (I have nothing to go by yet we'll found out more tomorrow and in the next month or so.)

    *Forward stock options- JVR has help finally around him.

    *Midfield rotation options/Running power through defence through to midfield

    *Quality cover in Ruck now Gawn/Campbell and Verrall

    *Defensive stability only worry is a lack of small defenders with Mcvee going down.

    Having not seen the kid play in the flesh only highlights to go by but it I feel we only got stronger with the inclusion of Hendo onto our list.

    💪

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      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?
