Why isn't it umpire descent by Battle? Screaming swear word at the umpire after a clear free kick.

And expected score

Watching the hawks whenever they get tackled.  Their head jerks back 

cheating nuggets 


Spell checker.  I meant baaaarstasrds

Loving Fox not calling Nick Watson the wizard every time he is near the football. 

Neither of these forward lines are drastically better or worse than ours. Just goes to show it’s not as  important to have superstars in your forward line.

 

Hawthorn will smoke us unfortunately.

Yes it is very depressing that they have bounced back so quickly…

They play an exciting game. However, Sydney are deplorable defensively. There is no way we give them this much space. Maybe we get burnt on turnover here and there but this game is heavily on the outside so you cannot compare.
 

If we try to play this game style , like Sydney are , yes we will get toast. But this is not our game style so I’d just hold your horses. Remember Port beat them in finals last year when the Hawks were hot. Port play a similar style of footy as the Dees. 

So good to not have to listen to BT Darce and the rest of those tools

Fox just talk footy

Every year, people jump to conclusions based on results in the first round of the (long) season.

Making a call before half-time of the first and only game to be played is taking it to a new level.


Meek will go close to AA. 

Little known secret - Max started mentoring him last year just when Meek started dominating games. 

Our GOAT

On another note, hawthorn will absolutely slice us up...and most teams tbh if they play like this. Fast, creative, tough, so skilful and then the 3 big rock interceptors. I was hoping they'd slide back to reality but right now they look like they've gone to another level entirely 

Sydney on the other hand seem significantly weaker than last year. No Errol makes a huge difference.

Did you hate how Jeff Farmer got the nickname before he played a game?

I didn’t know that. Thought he got the nickname after he establishing himself

How did he get his nickname?

A recruiter (might have been ours) saw him play and reported that "This kid is a wizard".  The name stuck.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
