Im so happy, Collingwood are a premiership chance, I dont care if we dont win today just keep going how we are. Newton doing well, a little bit worried about Strauss

Very, very good signs. We missed two very easy goals just prior to half time (Jamar and Scully). Our forward half is working well for the first time in way too long.

I was depressed this time last week. Fast forward ONE week, the adrenalin and hope is back. Keep it up, Dees - we're right in this game.

Bate has been terrible up until half time. Good game of football, the big test is the third quarter. Definitely feeling the love for McKenzie.
You got that right. he is a darn sight better than Valenti was.

Definitely feeling the love for McKenzie.

Bate has been shocking, looks sluggish.

Scully... 6 touches and 3 frees against? Going by the pre-season he should come into the game in the second half. Interesting trend developing with him. His fitness keeping him in good stead in the last quarter.

Juice needs to kick a few for us to win. Petterd can't be expected to kick 6+.

Great first half Dees,5 points down,who would've thought against a top 4 team but that's what pressure does.I've been banging on about going man on man across the ground against the Pies and taking their time away when they get the ball.41 tackles to half time which is 80 pace again,that's where we need to start,they are a much better side on paper and grass for that matter but our pressure is troubling them,giving them no space.Grimes is killing Didak and Petterd carving up Shaw.Contested possession to half time is 67 each with Jamar on 9 the most on the ground.We are handballing less this week but we just don't have a key forward to kick to.I said on Tuesday Newton should come in for Miller and he reads the play better than Miller and is a better kick,a win there.

Can we keep it up in the second half?

Who's gonna kick the goals in the last quarter?

Green and Petterd won't surprise anymore, and will need to earn every ball. If Newton does nothing, we're going to be in trouble. Who's on him?

Wouldn't it be lovely if Green could pop up with a few in the last? Get his personal best, and win the game for us in his 200th, at a time when the demons were more in need of a win than just about at any time? Would cement his name as MFC champion.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
