After watching Collingw&%$ fluff up in Dubai, it's no wonder they must play almost all of their games at home.

    Yeah. What a great way to start the new footy year.

    Also noticed how good the Crows are. Even when they're in a lull they're dangerous opposition. The old hatred still applies of course, but in the last few years I can't help but respect that club, and its players. Yes they have money, but still...

    And hey, one of their rejects has come in and is now one of our better performers on the track, fitness wise at least.

    Yeah and Andy Roddick is going to win the Aus Open.

    Exhibitions will always mean nothing.

    And Collingwood have an admirable record interstate anyway.

    It doesn't matter what time of year, or where it is played, there is something beautiful about a scoreline which has Collingwood stitched up big time.

    Great start to the year, now all we need is a win and we're away!

    After seeing the first half of the Dubai game, I rate Melbourne a little higher...

    Meanwhile, anyone else catch the 1976 grand final on ABC 2?

    I know it's totally unfair given the changes, salaries, support staff, interchange, you name it... but holy hell, if people played that loose and static these days they'd be lynched by angry fans! And when a guy got flattened the first thing the trainers did when they got to him has PICK HIM UP. It's a miracle the trainers back then didn't send a dozen extra players a year to hospital.

    I enjoyed the start to the season and yes, it is only pre-season but good to see the following: -

    1. no matter what number Leon davis wears, he still cannot get a kick

    2. anthony rocca's retirement will not affect the forward line - he has retired hasn't he because they mentioned that he was playing but wherever the ball went, he wasn't

    3. nick maxwell being appointed as collingwood captaon would rival kane johnson as the worst captain in the afl

    4. nathan buckley although incisive, is pretty biased when calling... look forward to him this year though

    5. the pies were fatigued from living away from home for three weeks - tears!!

    6. now they have to play in albany - surely mirthful knew this before they played!!

    great way to start the year!!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
