    Unconfirmed rumour from a mate that Steven May is out. No other info. Take with a grain of salt at the moment. 

    Well done

    The crowd will be tiny. ~15K

    Imagine if we don’t clear 16K which is the number we got massively criticised for in last year’s game V GWS.

    “May sustained a knock to the throat during training at Casey Fields on Friday, and scans have since confirmed a fractured larynx.

    General Manager of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson said the club would take a cautious approach with May’s recovery.

    “At this stage, our medical team does not believe the injury is as significant as what Max Gawn sustained earlier in the year,” Richardson said.

    “We will assess Steven further next week, which will give us a clearer picture of the recovery timeline.”

    We all know how hard it is to win a game at the Cats' home ground, GMHBA Stadium. Before yesterday, Freo had beaten the Cats there twice—by3 points in 2022 and by7 in 2023. Clearly, the Cats didn’t want to lose to Freo at home again. I believe they made special preparations for the game, aiming to put much more pressure on Freo. And it worked.

    One key indicator was the number of tackles they made—58 by halftime and 89 by the end. Freo wasn’t ready for that level of pressure.

    Unfortunately, we lost Gus and Nibbla, and I really missed them. Gus was one of our major tacklers (along with Viney), and Nibbla was strong in that area too. A good tackle can directly or indirectly cause a turnover; some players excel at it, while others don’t. I hope we can develop a couple of new players into top tacklers in the near future.

    Go Dees, Go newbies!

    When I saw the AFL headline - “star out for Demons” or words to that effect, I panicked. I was oddly relieved it was May - while it’s obviously not great, the difference between him and the next best available (TMac) is much narrower than the gap between next best if it had been Trac/Clarry/Max.

    I’m going in to the match with an open mind and no expectations. Over a quarter of the team playing together for the first time is unprecedented I reckon. A complete annihilation is a possibility, but we have a strong enough nucleus, and the imports have enough maturity, that a strong performance is also possible. Looking forward to it!

    Just hitting 28 degrees at 9am up in Sydney, and it is another of those days where the sun pierces your bones.

    The in-laws arrive in about 30 minutes.

    Oh, please, holy Demon powers, transport me to a chilly, sodden and windy MCG for an afternoon.

    It's the humidity here in Wollongong that makes things tough.

    Spent a few days in Brisbane once in the middle of January and experienced real humidity.

     But Nsw seems to be emulating Brisbane lately.

    Not to worry. It will be winter and grey in Melbourne soon so there's that 😀.

    But I will say that nothing beats a Melbourne Autumn.

    Especially one sitting on the member's wing in the sunshine watching a Dees player go streaming past on his way to score another major.

    Who doesn't love footy. It's a game beyond compare.

    Also slightly less impactful given that Jessie isn't playing as well.

    Yea thanks Top cat.

    I spent seven months in Arnem land on the edge of monsoons.

    But at only 10 one doesn't notice the weather. Too busy collecting wildlife and flushing the frogs back down the toilet where they came from

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
