    I hope someone knocks out Judd. Thatd what I really want, even more than a win.

    I want to see that money hungry [censored] get carried off on a stretcher, to the cheers of Demon fans

    do you think we can do it ?

    we are going with some carlton fans and they seem to think we are the joke side of the AFL

    We are!

    The boys may finally realise how [censored] they are after Carlton beat us by 10+ Goals!!!!!!

    We can win, but should we?

    If we help Carltank get another Priority pick (they could get poss' picks 1 & 2), I will POSSITIVELY go right off, Fair dinkum, the teams we don't want to help get the cream is Carltank & the Tiges ( who we play twice this year) & the Blue oyster boys once.

    The teams I'd like to beat are Freo, Wet toast, & Saints.

    Should be a cracking match.

    A team that can't score (us) against a team that can't defend (them).

    Brilliant.

    We can win because Carlton are at least as shite as us plus they have made losing part of their culture.

  • Quote

    No, they will [censored] us, Fev will have a field day, Judd to get 35, stevens 32, kruezer will dominate doghnuts and white

  • Quote

    Jamar vs. Kruezer- If Jamar doesn't fall on him awkwardly and crush him to death at the first bounce, we're screwed.

    He can then do a Barry Hall on Judd and leave the game as "the guy who knocked out Judd" instead of "the guy who got 1 possession a game over 4 seasons".

    ours isn't looking all that much of a winning culture

    This is definitely a danger game for the Blubaggers.... without trying too hard they'll probably win and use up one of their games they can win and stil lget a prize !!

    They'll be sweating on this one !! :lol:;):rolleyes:;):lol:

    please can we win this one to show judd what an awful side he plays for, no matter how much money they throw about. this is the one result i reallly want this year!

    btw, listening to the wafl results & votes, natanui wasn't in the best players, got, i think, 16 possessions. the boy rich who plays for subi seems to be considered the best of the WA talent this year.

    I doubt it. Who have we got to stop fevolva? Also if we do stop him whos going to kick any goals for us? Still havent found a forward this year. If only we could trade players after completion of rounds like in supercoach.

    If i could choose WHICH games melbourne would rop this season, it would be both against Carltank. I cannot sit back and watch them add a 4th number 1 pick into a nice pool of young kids.

    I would not mind losing this game, as long as it is not by 20+ points. I do NOT want Calrtank getting the number 1 pick.

    In all honesty, I think we COULD win, but I am not sure what our intentions are or Carltanks this season, so anything could happen.

    i would rather we play with dignity and actually try to win before its all too late and weve forgotten how to win

    its all good to say "lets play the young bloods week in week out and get extra draft picks" but you have to instill a winning culture or they're not gonna be used to winning and knowing how to win...it was like when we played the doggies at TD last year: we were always in the game and with under a minute left, were in front thanks to a great sylvia contested mark...instead of getting numbers in defense with 39 seconds to go, we tried to take risks and the bulldogs got a goal to hit the lead and were then signalled by their captain for almost their entire team to flood back at that stage, something we should have done

    anyway, thats a random story but for a lot of of our younger players like morton, who have still not won and are playing every week, their gonna get used to playing in a losing side that is too flat to actually win and are used to just getting by each week and thinking about their own game... they wont know how to play with excitement and flair

    what im trying to say is that i desperately hope we can win this one...i really do...for dignity's sake

    Not a chance in Hell of us beating the Blues next week

    We need to keep playing the kids and get ready for the mother of all Clean Outs at the end of the year.

    Not sure its that easy. Holland, Neitz and, I think, White are out of contract, so OK. But Robbo, Green and Bruce are not - Green and Bruce might be trade-able - but not for 1st rnd picks. So who else?

  • Quote

    its easier to trade players IN contract !! lol

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
