A special episode of Footy Time this week where John and Dan go through the ladder as it stands. Who is over-achieving, who is under-achieving and how far can these teams go in 2024?

Daniel is joined by Lucas D'Costa as we go back all the way to 2013 to see if a curse could be broken.

In the 2013 preliminary final it was a clash of the titans as the Hawthorn Hawks took on the Geelong Cats. The Cats had defeated the Hawks 11 straight times following the Hawks upset win in the 2008 Grand Final. As the Cats winning streak grew it was labelled the “Kennett Curse”, as after the 2008 Grand Final Jeff Kennett (former Victorian Premier & Hawks president) had come out and said that Geelong lacked the mental fortitude to get it done against Hawthorn, when it really mattered. The Cats of course took exception to this and vowed to never lose to the Hawks again. Now the Kennett Curse would be put to the ultimate test as the Hawks looked to cement their place in history with another premiership cup (but first they’d have to get to the Grand Final). What we got was one of the great finals of all time! Tune in to see how it

On a Sunday afternoon, the Melbourne Demons hosted the West Coast Eagles for the first time in over a decade. Melbourne desperately needed the win to keep their top 8 hopes alive. On the Eagles side of things, the drums were beating and it looked like premiership coach Adam Simpsons time could be coming to an end. Tune in to see how it played out!

On a Friday night the Melbourne Demons headed to the Gabba as heavy underdogs to face the Brisbane Lions. The Lions have been putting on huge scores of late and were expected to account for a middling Demons outfit. What we got was anything but the expected as Melbourne ramped up the pressure and intensity, going on a blistering 8 goal 2nd quarter run. How did the Lions respond? Tune in to find out!

Round 16 is done and John and Dan are back with some more True or False!

On a Saturday night at the G, the Melbourne Demons and the North Melbourne Kangaroos renewed an old rivalry that was at its best in the late 90s and early 2000s.

On this occasion it pitted the improving kangas (sitting 18th on the ladder) against a Melbourne side who's been struggling of late.

The game ebbed and flowed and ended with a heart stopping finish. What more could you want from a game of footy? Be sure to tune in!

In this episode of Footy Time, Johnny joins Dan for a chat to talk about all the footy topics on the tip of your tongue.

- What’s the worst thing to be as a footy team in 2024?

- What’s going on with the new holding the ball interpretation?

- Dustin Martin the greatest player of the last decade

- What would have happened if Melbourne had taken Dustin Martin in the 2009 draft?

On this episode of Footy Time, Dan & Johnny have made their predictions for the top 8, which threw up some surprises. They each nominate a dark horse with Sydney the clear club house leader in the premiership race. Which teams could potentially do some damage from outside the top 4? Tune in to find out.

On King's Birthday we head to the G to watch a game of footy and raise much needed money to fight MND. Sitting in 9th and 10th on the ladder both the Melbourne Demons and the Collingwood Magpies needed a win to continue to push their top 8 claims. In particular the Dees needed a response after a 92 point mauling at the hands of the Dockers the previous week. Tune in to see how it played out!

In Alice Springs, the players were greeted by glorious conditions for a game of footy. The winner of the Melbourne Demons and the Fremantle Dockers would further stake their claim for a top 8 finish in 2024. It was expected to be a tight game between two tightly matched teams. But what we got was anything but...
