I know ye Demonians and today you wake in fear and dread, but take heart for there is comfort in this adversity.

Recall ye how the Geelong tribe treated our people - with contempt and conceit. Remember the thrashings they so gleefully inflicted upon us.

And remember too, that callow little [censored] who so arrogantly feigned boredom with defeating our people that he fell asleep during their victory chorus. Revel in his pain.

Take heart too in your own grit, for you are staunch and stand by our tribe - not at all like those of Geelong who last eve fled the scene before the contest was half over. Aye it is true for I saw it with mine own eyes - the hand shake and the farewell a mere 26 minutes into the second period! There is a term: Weak As.

Yet I, and many of you I know, stayed staunch through the challenges of 1988 and 2000 and more still. Take comfort that we are better than that.

And if it come to pass that our oldest enemy shall ultimately triumph then remember too, that sometimes it is right that the best team win whoever they are for one day and more, we hope that will be us.

Here endeth the lesson.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
