Personally, I'll never be 'stoked with a loss'. I'm always disappointed, even when there was no expectation that we'd win. 30 points is a bit easier to handle than 100 though.

True, maybe stoked was the wrong word. But if for example St Kilda were going over to Perth this weekend and took it right up to Freo and lost by less than 30 points, half of Demonland would be saying how amazing their rebuild has been , how easily they leapfrogged us and how awesome their kids are.

Expecting Freo to have some late withdrawals from their side.

Time to give tired players a rest before finals ( Fyfe), yet not be so obvious about it like they did last year!

Triple m saying toumpas signed for 2 years

Good to see the club's backing him in.

Reckon we'll get within 4 and if they're not switched on we could snatch a memorable win.

Love your work rtg. You're one dees fan who isn't cloaked in a veil

a repeat of the last 3 weeks - absolutely smashed and embarassed in the first half then a false semi-comeback as the opposition rests on their laurels

just looking at the team sheet ... Garland, Howe, MJones, Michie, Cross, ANB, Garlett, Spencer, OMac, Gawn, Watts, Stretch, Newton and Grimes

That's 14 blokes who are either ineffective kids or seniors who are guilty of some atrocious footy this season. No reasonable person could expect a decent performance out of any of them to be quite blunt.

the line should be around 100 for mine

I expect that they will play their guts out. After Roos comments about negative fans I expect them to bleed this week. Don't actually care about the result but do care about the effort. We are playing a very, very good team but its a team that rarely kills oppositions as Lyons appears to only want to win and they quite often shut down when the game is in their control. I am expecting to be within 5-6 goals at the end. To me, considering the opposition, that would be a good result. Opening a red at the start of the game

It's going to be greasy conditions with the odd shower of rain passing through. Can't see it being completely dried out before this arvo.

Expect a scrappy, low scoring game.

I was completely wrong with the above forecast.

I've just got off the field myself from playing Masters footy and it's dry, warm and a little breezy.

Played against Des Headland and Dale Kickett.

We came second. :(

There's zero chance we'll be within 10 goals. I just hope Hogan kicks a bag.

Posted

Apparently it's 'Melbourne Day' too. Coincidence or Illuminati?

Good signs.

Melbourne. .indeed anywhere right of WA border means absolutely zilch to the Gropers !!

Melbourne Day....start drinking Melbourne Bitter....and don't stop !!!

what time does this game start , vic time ??

Backs against the wall... Inspirational skippers 200th game... Playing a side who's renowned for putting the cue in the rack at this time of year in prep for finals... Still lose by 10+ goals

Do you play in the rep games? I am playing in the over 55 this year and the rep games are brilliant. The lower levels get a bit fair dinkum but the old guys games are fun.

Tbh I have forgotten what it's like to enjoy watching the footy and supporting a team that plays in the finals. I do miss that feeling.

Footy is such a chore and it shouldn't be.

Still playing Supers and Master grades.

Had it on a string mate.

Grimes the sub

Roos doesn't understand the sub. Pointless having Grimes as the sub.

    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

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. 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
