A glove on a wooden stick placed just outside the forward 50 Arc will give us the same as Dawes

Not sure what people expected Our injury list hasn't moved this week. Whether you bring Grimes or Newton or Michie they won't make us a better team. I want Kent and Salem back, but I also want a m

Im concerned about brisbanes speed, it will be a good battle of the inside mids but on the outside they have a clear advantage

Saying that our talls at either end of the ground are far better than theirs.

Brisbane are poo. The only people in the world who think we won't beat them are MFC supporters, that's why we're short priced favourites.

They are poo everywhere except their midfield.

And their midfield is stronger than ours. if we're going to win we're going to have to limit the influence of Beams, Hanley and Rockliff.

Lay down a pineapple on the Lions and you'll be able to drown your sorrows after the match courtesy of TAB.

I see $2.45 as value. So yes, I have backed the Lions.

Brisbane were good for 3 quarters against a quality side last week.

MFC couldn't get over the line against a second rate - and depleted - Essendon side.

How we are $1.55 favorites is beyond me.

...and this year, they're poo. Like, really really crap.

I don't think you people understand.

I understand that it's natural to expect the worst as an MFC supporter. I know we might lose. I know we're not travelling well. Just don't get the surprise at us being favourites, they're the worst side in the competition, playing away.

I think that we 'people' saw them take it right up to Freo and, to a lesser extent, Sydney.

Essendon were in the same boat last week and we all know the result.

We are susceptible to strong midfields and small forwardlines which Brisbane definitely possess.

Not sure what you've been smoking, Nasher. But, fact is this past three weeks Bne have been rather good, against top opposition. Just haven't been able to sustain it for four quarters.

I certainly expect Melb to win. But, then again, I'm one of those sad people who expects Melb to win EVERY game...!

Happens every year. We drop easy games. A nobody steps up and annihilates us. Cloke kicks 7.0 Daniher kicks 5.0. We are mentally weak and pathetic as a footy team.

This is their only game for the year at the G. They'll be pumped.

I still have vivid memories of the Swans beating us at the G after losing 24 in a row. There is a cancer within this club that we can't eradicate.

As coach Id be watching those that don't give 4 qtrs and not playing them for the rest of the year and to be delisted at years end. Sick of it really.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
