As disgusting and horrible as last week was, if we can somehow win tonight then i will forget round 1 completely and i bet the MFC does too and marches forward.

Lets face it, last week was only one match. Yes we have been crap for a long time Yes it was atrocious, degrading, embarassing. Almost soul destroying.

But the bottom line is that we can beat the Bomnbers and if we do it will be happy days again.

GO DEMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

. . . I'll run naked down my street.

Can you name the Street so we can have a media contingent there? (just in case)

If we win tonight I'll be happy but pi55ed at the same time. I'm sick of us having our backs against the wall and the media on us all week to stand up. Can't we just put in week in week out?

The first 5 minutes will tell us a story, 'cfh'. As it often does. If we come out of the blocks, we've got a chance of making a game of it. Even if all that happened, the last quarter could also tell a tale. Fresh legs could win out if the extra weeks rest is a factor.

We've got an obligation to start well with a fierce attack on the ball. After last Sunday, anything less than that will be unacceptable. I'm reasonably confident we'll have a go early. We can't not turn up again.

I'm going to be at a 50th, taping it to watch it at home. If we win I'll be stoked, but I just want desperate desire to chase and tackle and get the bloody ball.

But I want it every week, and I'll be happy once we achieve that, everything else is covering the cracks.

Time to shut up and act.

I'm sure the boys will have a crack but it seems to take a smashing and then a week of criticism for them to show a heartbeat. I just wish they could rock up to the ground, clock on and mean business every week. I think we will start strong and break even in the first quarter with a more skilled team and then fade away to lose by 5 goals.

If they win, I'll take heart from it. While it would be disappointing to know that the effort comes and goes, I'd take that over the idea that they're hopeless beyond redemption, which is how it seemed last week.

watch for 10 minutes of hard at it, contested football and then a fade away into mediocrity..........this is the Melbourne i have seen soo many times.

a) will not happen

b) if it does they will turn back to terrds next week as they always do

On the train heading to the G to sit with Bomber mate of 40 years .

We go every year (since 1975). There have been a few occasions of joy not many .

Darren Bennett made my afternoon once, so did G Lyon, in 1991 i remember a young Ox shooting for a late goal at Windy Hill that would have pinched it for us and I have enjoyed the last 3 times!

But I had butterflies last Saturday and tonight I feel nothing. Just looking fwd to seeing my mate.

Dees just go out there and have a red hot go but do it for 4 qtrs!!!

I didn't know that was a thing.

Clearly a sucker for punishment I am. So many better things to do tonight, yet here we are, heading to the footy.

This better be a vast improvement. I don't expect a win but FFS, some competitive spirit would be lovely.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
