NON-MFC: Round 02

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval.

On Saturday Christian Petracca will return to the MCG as his new Suns take on the Tigers. Later that day the Saints head to Greater Western Sydney to take on the Giants as they try to avoid an 0 and 3 start to the season.

Sunday will see a double header of 4 teams that will likely be propping up the ladder in 2026 as the Power host the Bombers at Adelaide Oval and the Eagles host the Kangaroos at Optus Stadium.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    Best for us is notionally accepting that we might finish ninth or tenth and snare a wild card spot.

    On that basis you want to get a break on the bottom eight teams whoever they might be.

    We know that Richmond and the Eagles will be bottom eight but which other teams make up that group. Essendon yes North (probably) Port (probably). As for the rest ??????????

    Couldn't have said it better myself.

    What reputable professional sporting competition has a bye after two rounds?

    Has anyone in the media talked about this? What possible reason would the AFL have to schedule this?

    I think it serves to even out games played for O round teams

    So make a mess of the fixture by inventing Round 0 and the mess causes more mess.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
