Who will be better in 2025? Saints, Demons or Bombers

You can rule the Saints out if the rumours about their match sim are true

Why? We have a better scoring forward line when Max King is out injured

Ok then

I’m guess the rest of your board agrees

Looks calm

Don’t really care, it’s stupid that they signed him to such a long deal. But look at the games won over the last 2 years, I reckon the majority would be without him in the side

Sorry for the invective, but I'm convinced most people are idiots. I live in Victoria, afer-all.

As for straight sets ? Yes, disappointing for all Dees fans.

But if you peel back the layers it's not quite as disastrous as it seems. Firstly, at least we finished top 4 in the two subsequent years to our flag, which is far better than a lot of recent premiers. Secondly, we were much better in the second half of 2023 than 2022. You may not recall, but we dominated general play in both finals against Collingwood and Carlton and lost one by 7 points and the other by a solitary point after having the game well in hand. I get that won't mean much to you. 2024 is the outlier.

As I said, nothing will convince you until you see otherwise. Fair enough.

I'll finish by saying that I fully understand the general concensus by Bigfooty groupthink, but I do think our best players can still perform to their All Australian levels, injuries permitting.

Big game this week.

I don't think this Dees outfit have enough quality to contend after a 0-3 start. Gold Coast never win these crunch games - if they do, it's curtains for Melbourne in 2025 besides development.

Still too close to call, Dees appear better but not convinced
