Freo have 4 exDees…Jackson, McVee, Wagner and Omac.

Normally I wish these guys well, but tonight I hope they have ‘mares!

Jackson is about ready to step up to AA contention. Scary, not just as a ruck/forward, but also as a mid. Will be a handful.

Not so fussed about the others.

    At least I get to watch this game with my breakfast coffee.

    Hoping to see more of the same style of play with commitment to the game plan no matter what the score.

    Great win last week, another win this week would be fantastic!

    An improvement on last week, as in cleaner with the ball, after typical 1st round performance, this week will be tough.

    A few of the team a bit down last week a lift from those players! Sparrow, Langford are two that immediately come to mind!

    Just keep playing same style with covering centre corridor better!

    Go Demons play well!

    loved our swashbuckling style last week but i have a certain trepidation about this one.

    Freo should contend this year, they have bags of talent. If they get a hold of us in the middle we could be looking at a 50 point loss.

    I want to see us stick to the plan, move the ball with purpose and deliver proper service to our forwards. If we do that i'll be happy

    and I'm hoping Judd McVee has a shocker. He's a proper judas that guy. He's one ex-dee i'll never cheer for.

    I still can't believe Omac is in the side (Ryan is either out of favor or still needs to build fitness). David King said after our 2018 prelim "Oscar McDonald is not the guy". He was right. In 2026, now 8 years later and now 30yo, King showed vision of him continuously being beaten by Neale and he also said he's "Not the guy".

    I hope he continues to show he's "not the guy" and JvR kicks 7 on him.

    Freo's defence is now their biggest weakness. If King has a plan for Pearce I think we can get a hold of them.

    It is a great test. Freo are a good side, with potential this year to be a great side.

    Hoping for a very competitive outing where our gameplan is on show. JVR to continue his rise and I want to see Langford and Lindsay as well as Windsor play well.

    Freo looked susceptible to quick ball movement in the second half last week so if we can get the ball on the outside we are a chance of causing some damage.

    A win tonight, which I just can’t see happening, would stamp our improvement under King.

    Indeed, I cannot watch our game. But can surf some channels and listen on the wireless

    Hopefully it's a better r2 performance than last years r2 where I sat at marvel & watched us get thrashed by nth.

    Excited for this game. I think it's a tough ask beating the WA teams over there when they are in form and they probably deserve to be favourites, but I'm not writing us off.

    If we do loose, so long as we're compeditive and show something, then that will be OK enough with me.

    Mostly I'm looking forward to us playing some good opposition to get a better feel for where we are at right now.

    There may be a sprinkling of Dees at the London Tavern in Richmond.

    This match will give us a good indication of where we are at.

    The betting odds and most of the pundits have completely written us off, but I beg to differ. Play with last week’s grit and flare, and tighten up our defence a smidge, and we might just be singing the Grand Old Flag on the plane back to Melbourne.

    Dees by 7 points.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

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

    • 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

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
