Comrades.

We can worry about permutations and draft choices - the wind blows where it wills.

I just want us to beat the Handbaggers down at Handbagger Stadium - especially if those big Zeppelins in the Geelong Cheer squad are in attendance.

It is as simple as that. I want us to do it especially for Slaphead Chapman and Cameron Ling, the Toxic Avenger.

And I want to hear the sooking afterwards.

    Would be an amazing result.

    If it's not a windy day we'll have them on toast.

    About as meaningless as R22 in 2007.

    We do that and we have wasted the pain of 2008/2009.

    I hate to say it, but you're spot on!

    Yep. Smash 'em. Make 'em doubt themselves. Cause them to choke another flag. Go Dees.

    Comrade there is a much wider malaise than the pain of the last couple of years - and that is our mental softness.

    As a supporter since 71 and a member since 82, I have seen it year after year, decade after decade.

    Address that in a sustained fashion, and everything else will be sorted out eventually.

    While I would dearly love to get 1 and 2, to my mind we got the priority pick last year with Watts AND Jurrahcane.

    This discussion is a bit pointless. Whatever opinions the two of us may hold, it will make jack-all difference to where we finish at the end of the year.

    Additionally, my hatred of the Handbaggers over-rides all other rational considerations.

    Cheers - Biffinator

    If we beat the cats, by then I will have completely lost faith in getting Scully, but I can tell you this, I will celebrate like we were never going to get a PP...

    Beating them over there? It doesn't get a whole lot better, IMO.

    Then we could come out in round 22 and snatch another over the Saints, and people will be talking about us positively again. Would be a HUGE reward for players like Moloney, Bruce, Green, Whelan, Davey who have earned a LOT of respect from LFC supporters, and deserve respect from opposition supporters too.

    If we're going to throw away great another opportunity to land a couple of talented kids then we may as well do it in still

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
