Both sides are out of form, though I guess since we won last week, and are coming off a 12-goal quarter, we're less so.

Both sides are missing key players.

The one main difference - it's in Brisbane.

In Melbourne, I'd be a lot more confident, but putting our side on a foreign ground, especially since we've been at the G all year so far, makes me doubt our chances.

At our best (first half v West Coast, last quarter v GWS) we can and should beat them. Whether we can reach our best for long enough up there remains to be seen.

This is why it is such an important day for Neeld.

He needs to motivate this group to play hard AWAY from the MCG.

I listened to Ken Hinkley's presser last night.

MN should do the same.

 

highly optimistic, i think it will be 15 goals

is that the total of goals kicked for the day?
 

I think we will be in the game at 3/4 time, people are giving brisbane too much credit and we will come in with abit of confidence

I think we'll get done, but it will be with a lot more fight than usual. 3-5 goal loss.

Hopefully I'm wrong and we belt them by 37 goals, Gary Ablett leaves the Suns to come to us and I win the lotto.


Come on I just want the game to start!.....3.15pm.. geez what a time for a game of footy.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Nathan Jones, Matt Jones, Jack Trengove, Rohan Bail, Jordie McKenzie, Dean Terlich and Jack Grimes all in the same team. All of them are hard running, good tackling mids who will try all day no matter what happens.

When is the club accountable in your eyes?

When do we stop this expecting to lose everytime we step away from the womb that is the MCG.

5 weeks ago most expected us to beat Port.

Hinkley has got that list playing for him and for their team mates.

Now i saw a glimpse of that with the MFC last week in the Final Q.

It is Neeld's job to make sure that spirit, belief and fun continues this week.

We can win with the right mind set today.

If we get pumped Neeld's position is on shaky ground.

It is up to him. I want him to succeed by the way, but there is the time for delivery.

Would a loss to the lions by say 20 plus points be the end of voss as their coach?

Not a chance. I don't even think losing by a hundred points would see him gone this week.

I wouldn't say so, it will just turn the gauge up a notch. If we belted them by 80 points then maybe. It works in reverse as well tho, if we get smashed today, Mark Neeld is again pushing [censored] up hill to keep his job.


Hope to see Davey as the sub and Frawley take Brown. Who's McKenzie going to take? Beamer? I have a feeling that Moloney is going to have a very good game today...

I hope you are right Demonfan, 'cos if we are in it at 3/4 time, I reckon we will win.

Would a loss to the lions by say 20 plus points be the end of voss as their coach?

I would say that ANY team losing to Melbourne atm by more than 20pts would put their coach on shakey ground

You underestimate Jordie McKenzie. He was really good against Port Adelaide in Round 1. But I think he'll go to Rocky anyway.

I get the feeling that you've worded this incorrectly.

Yeah sorry i just mean if we beat them fairly comfortably, seems like they are having alot of the same sorts of issues we are on field so it should be an interesting game

i think Moloney will love roving to Jamar again.....

Funny what Channel 7 "News" has done to our game.

I didn't mean that if McKenzie is tagging Beamer that Beamer will have a big day; I meant that I think Beamer will be up and about for this game. I wouldn't mind seeing Neeld put McKenzie on him.

I've just put on another $20.00 via sportsbet. Go figure, I lost $200.00 on us last week and we won!! FMD

You should have gone with a fifty on the 40+ @ $4.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • 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?
