Performance

Well how does everyone rate our team at the moment?

So far I would say its unimpressive, with lots of room for improvement.

However we have a chance this weekend to change this perception

It is said Good Teams win the tight games, but even better teams destroy a opposition that is a lesser team then them.

This week Melbourne comes up against the """Cold Coast Suns,""" :rolleyes:a team that many Pundints have pointed too as being possibly a team they do not expect to win a game this season.

So what should Melbourne do this weekend against CCS???

Destroy them? Clean their boots with them, or will it be at our expense that the "Sun's" finally do shine.

That would be a absolute disaster as far as I am concerned for the Melbourne Football Club.

However on current performance of both sides we should win comfortably

But we need to do more than just that, we need this as a cataylist for our team to show they can play some real football not by just beating the Gold Coast SUNS but utterly anniliating them

Minumum margin should be 50 points over 100 would be a truly respectable result.B)

Mate , this is a nothing game .

Everything to lose , only the 4pts to gain .

They should absolutely destroy the GC , but that won't prove anything .

Would be interesting to know what the Board expect from tomorrows game.

We must win tomorrow and then be ready to fire after the bye....a very interesting 2 weeks lie ahead for the MFC.

Spot on 'Fork', very little to gain. Some tiny status upgrade, and to appease the supporters.

I just hope we click together, to gain some Rhythm and momentum. It would be nice, if Jack plays, for him to exert some strong contesting.

No, percentage given 3 draws so far to bottom 8 challengers is also important, let alone giving some of our young kids the adrenaline rush of a monster win. Can't get addicted to something you haven't tasted!

Malthouse said last week we are playing as if its April - in other words its a long season, a young team and they will gell togther - as they did late in the season last year.

We can't be racing out of the blocks at this time, nor should we , if we want to be there at the end. That said, after today we will be 2 wins and a draw going into the bye. I'd take that any time.

As I hoped Respectable

Even though they had some ket players out

Even though by all accounts it was fairly warm

We do do it hard at times

Better still

No Reports

No Injuries

Just a shame I dont punt would have been a handy little bet

Lets hope they can get Jack Up

Lets see what happens as injured players start to come back

Am I happy ? For now yes!

At this stage we are in the hunt

Only Time will tell as the season unfolds?

But at least we can stilllook forward to it

CASEY: Richmond
CASEY: Richmond

The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
