Would live for the Hawks to miss the 8 this year and for several more.

The level of arrogance that it will just happen again for them is nauseating 🤮

They are not looking good at the moment. Teams have already worked em out and the season hasn’t even started.

    My pies employed mate has been telling me that Membrey has been on fire all preseason.

    Quite a dynamic forward group over there

    Strange seeing Nibbler in yellow. 

    in #28 - clearly a lesser player than he was in #30 for the red and blue

    Looking at the performance of Collingwood's players, they have immense talent on every line. If they stay healthy, they will be very hard to beat. Adding Houston and Membrey as well... even their youth play like 100+ gamers.

    I firmly believe the Pies will miss the 8 again. They just don't have the depth to cover the usual injuries that will come with their aging list. Heck, if N Daicos had a season ending injury they would probably finish bottom 4.

    Watch for a suite of retirements and trades come season's end.

    Could face some stiff competition for a spot after Daicos was declared Collingwood's 'Spearhead' in practice match reports.

    Snorts aside, I do wish Membrey well. Realistic shot at being Collingwood's leading goalkicker.

    And for the sake of football he has an important job to do to make sure Collingwood don't bottom out enough to get any more top picks until Tassie blows up the draft.

    Fun fact, Collingwood are now substantially older than even Geelong, with a staggering 20 players with more than 100 games experience and likely to be included most weeks meaning that their on-field age is going to be even older than their list average.

    Daicos and McCreary are the only Magpies under 24 with a solid claim on best 22 spots.

    It wasn’t a legit injury though. He came off in the first quarter for “awareness” reasons. The commentators (Dwayne and Dunstall) said there’s nothing in it. And when he was coming off he smiled at the camera.

    But yeah, give Tracc the Brownlow now regardless 😅

    starcevich out of the opening northern states round with concussion

    I think we might be hearing more on this tomorrow...

    ...but there does need to be 2 clear weeks between the last practice match & your first game.

    Personally I think it's time for practice games to be put to bed.

    Adelaide adding 3 best 22 players of the right age and experience is big for them. They'll be good this year. 

    Neal-bullen raising the standards as he does

    They’ve gone from something like 3rd youngest list to 8th oldest in one off-season

     Finals or bust for Nicks

    It very much suits their game plan. 

    It will be a fascinating watch tactically nevertheless.

    People said the same of Geelong.

    GWS look like they've done a hard training session at there captain's run.

    No direction whatsoever on every line.

    Collingwood might give them a nice old touch up going on this 1st qtr.

    Yes these practice games are dangerous. Everything should be inhouse until Round One

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
