    Anyone else having problems with DL? I’m finding it frustratingly slow to load anything.

    Had similar issues here, Froggy. Couldn't log on or open any threads for a couple of hours.

    I had to resort to talking to the wife and found out, much to my surprise, that she no longer works at Brashs.

    Not the first time I’ve been told that… and probably not the last, either 🤣

    So sounds like Melky is definitely playing this weekend irrespective of Fritta's availability - presumably Laurie would make way then?

    I’m feeling another solid step forward for Latrelle this week. Bombers have no hope. If I was them I’d consider a forfeit, save on the airfares and embarrassment of losing 18 games in a row. Looking forward to our next challenge against the Bears.

    Robey debuting for the Dons.

    Exciting player. Very happy with how our draft haul turned out but he's one I was very keen on.

    Kicked 4.0 and had 23 touches on the VFL last week.

    mfcss tells me that they'd split the points if the airline cancelled their flights and they weren't able to make it

    they've got a hope; it better be forlorn

    I wouldn't be too cocky, but that's the same for every match. While there are still real gaps between teams, the lower teams can still threaten when it all comes together for them. Let's just hope that this isn't one of those occasions!

    @Dannyz You reported that Rivers didn’t want to de-load during the summer and get his knee right because he wanted to play State Of Origin right? That’s looking pretty stupid now isn’t it? Missing what will probably be at least a month of the season.

    Saw a bit of the training session at SAFC.

    Reasonably light session.

    Thankfully the bad weather held off, there was a heavy storm earlier.

    The players were in high spirits, doing the rounds with the crowd, selfies and autographs etc..

    Go Dees.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Casey Demons secured their first win of the season by the narrow margin of four points against the Box Hill Hawks at Casey Fields on Easter Sunday morning.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
