Honestly, it wasn't that great. It just looked good cause he smashed the ball out of the sydney players hands.

True, but it was still good. The point I was making "why aren't we doing it" or tackling like Armitage did. Some would have us believe we should be thankful some even dare lay a tackle.

We need Vince playing an attacking role, but we may have no choice but to use him as a stopper again.

Yes but because Vince can also use the footy it will keep Bont accountable.
 

I'm not looking forward to today, for the first time in my life I have stopped enjoying going.

I've felt like that for the last few weeks, maybe more. It's not because of the losses it's because of the way we've lost.

I just want to see us go out there and take the game on. Play with some heart and balls and play like we want to win.

I've felt like that for the past decade, however today has a different feel about it. Wouldn't be surprised if we give a good account of ourselves


The only thing I more sick of than losing is everyone posting here on game day about their "good feeling about today".

So we are better off slashing our wrists and saying woe is me.

Lighten up.

The fungal infection is acting up again so (for the sake of those nearby) I will not wear sandals. It follows then that I shall leave the toga in the "Roman" room at Romsey Manor.

Would have been cold in Romsey last night and early this morning Bitters "Hot Toddy" a cure all for all inflammations including "Demonitis"

Be Bold I have put $ 20 Bucks on the Dees to win!

I can recommend kerosine baths.

I watch every game with the hope, however slight, that we might win. Otherwise it would be boring as all hell. No idea why you're still here if that's how you really feel

Not talking about hope. I always have hope we will win. But every game day thread is filled with posters saying "I've got a good feeling about today" etc.. And it's wishy washy rubbish.

As above mate.

Not about hope or wrist slashing. Just think it's a bit of a toss.

Sort of like your posts really.

After an early (3am ) start today Its an armchair ride with golden state doing the job on Houston we have a problem . Couple a wild turkey cans and some red wine will keep me awake and afloat if things go awry at the G . Its our season on the line today I expect a rough spitefull affair


Sort of like your posts really.

I know you are but what am I...

Great comeback bro.

One wish for today, that when we get the ball we move it on quickly and are not afraid to use the corridor....

Another is that we achieve 45 inside 50's for the day and kick the ball in Hogans direction 30 of those times.


I hope we try and score today, the last 3 weeks have been boring.

Why not try and kick goals and put their players under some pressure instead of just doing what they want us to do and play safe.

The only thing I more sick of than losing is everyone posting here on game day about their "good feeling about today".

if this helps i have a very bad feeling, its the 1st time I've ever backed against the Dees

I have a good feeling we're going to lose today.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
