Other clubs have picked up players that help their team, Demons not.

our drafting very good, top 3 in AFL.

Our trading - bottom 3 or 2 in AFL!

Roos nailed it years ago.

Draft for talent , Trade for need.

Totally [censored] up the latter imho

Melksham in doubt with an AC injury and technically Kozzie hasn’t been cleared yet of his gut punch yet.

So Pickett gets sanctioned for a gut punch...

The one on Oliver doesn't rate a mention?

Does McVee take Hill or Elliott?

I reckon Disco would be a good matchup for Elliott as he can seriously jump for marks that guy.

Ummmm I’m not a believer to this loading cult - just my opinion

Yes,such cults talk a load

Excluding the round 24 game last year where we basically played our Casey side, our last 3 games against the Pies we are:

6.15 to 14.5

7.11 to 9.6

8.18 to 9.8

In fairness Collingwood had as many players out as we did in round 24.

One team wanted to end the season with some pride, and the other team just wanted the season to end.

But yes, our accuracy has been disgusting against Collingwood recently.

In - Jefferson, JVR

Out - Melksham, AJ

JVR should be able to compete with Frampton in the ruck?

im glass half empty this week. We rarely beat Collingwood. I think the last win I went to against them was when Brent Grgic kicked a late winner. Will see yall on Monday, not looking forward to those feckless fans.

I’m hearing Jack Billings is a red hot chance to return this week, in response to our goal kicking woes.

He’s kicked 4.8 in 17 games for us … he’s a shoe in this week!

I have no idea whether the loading stuff is true or not. I joined the loading cult because the leader was convincing and it provides me some small amount of hope/cope. Plus they give out free snacks at our weekly cult meetings.

My little joke at the loading cult meetings, one fellow cult members roll their eyes at, is - 'here we go, enjoy some carb loading with these delicious pastries'

Having been away for six weeks, I am really keen to head to the 'G and see first-hand where the boys are at.

My one fear is that we bring back Jeffo for AJ - it's been really pleasing reading that Jeffo's starting to become a factor at VFL level but until he is laying tackles then he's not worth promoting again as he will be easy fodder for Moore and co.

I am comfortable with returning Roo as his body will cope with the buffeting and he's had two solid weeks marking and leading up and getting his confidence back.

But my left field choice is selecting Tom Campbell, especially if the Pies go with Mason Cox, which they may well do to make life hard for big Maxy. If Campbell doesn't play this week, he certainly should be in the side to play Port because you can guarantee they will target our skipper and it will be a short break that week.

I also hope we have a long hard look at the wings this week. Sidey and Josh Daicos (if they both play there) are hugely influential and it worries me thinking that we will go with Langford and Lindsay on them, given their youth and the big occasion. It would be nice to think that we would come up with a bit of a shock move to counter them - maybe a hard tag from Bowey or Salem on Sidey, leaving the youngsters to tag team on Josh Daicos, but I know Goody doesn't usually do shock stuff - although he did put ANB on Nick Daicos last year.

If Viney's fit, then Laurie is the unfortunate omission, although it sounds like Jack's hand will take at least another week to mend.


Not sure why Jeffo has to lay tackles ..put pressure on for sure ..I mean Elliot kicked 5 goals and laid 2 tackles ...Jeffo kicked 5 & laid 1 …

Probably the only joy I will get this weekend regarding us playing the filth.

Fond memory.

Thanks Jack 👏

( take note who touched that "almost" goal too 😉 )

Um Jeffo HAS been laying tackles and is being rewarded with frees the last couple of weeks and is converting this to GOALS check the replays!

I would go with inns JVR , JEFFO ,T.MAC and One or Two of WOEY, BROWN DOG, SESTAIN ,CULLEY or THOLSTRUP

Out Either LEVER OR PETTY probably LEVER, LAURIE ,SPARGO, AJ and either WINDSOR, LINDSAY ( Managed)

T.Mac takes Levers spot

Petty to interchange

Rivers to follow Faicos EVERYWHERE

Chin to play defensive role on other Daicos

Disco to play on Elliot

Back then our mid rotations Trac, Clazz, Kossy and one other to at least break even

Pair J.V.R and El Jeffo Cantina with an eye to future and also reward FORM something we tend not to do.! See how that goes! WONT happen of course but I would definately ROLL THIS DICE!😇

Devastated i can't make this game. Think we will put up a fight. My ticket is available if anyone would like it.


Aaron davey is the next slider to go down.

Spoke really well on 360 & what Neale did for not only his football career but his life.

Perhaps we can play May at ff. JVR chf . Turner ,T.Mac and Petty in defence. Lever and Fritsch to be managed.

I've been looking for info on the march to the 'G this year as I intend to join for the first time in a while but I can't find anything about it. Does anyone know if it's still happening?

I found it eventually. It's not promoted by the club or the afl at all but it is on the big freeze website.

Increased security what a laugh, I have NOT been checked with wand detectors, stopped by security or anything at all this year. I've waltzed right in at both Marvel earlier this year and the G. For all the talk about upgrades, yadda, yadda, security is a disgrace. Anyone else had similar experiences?

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    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.
