ARe we confident of getting more than seven wins this year?

Featured Replies

Nothing has changed after today's loss (although abysmal), except we'll have to carry that loss around our neck's all season.

I still expect us to win between 10-12 games. Hopefully in the back half of the season we can start to find some consistency with our performances and string a couple together.

No. Today proved that the underbelly of this club has not changed. They are willing to fold when an opponent is hungrier than us. If we get lucky and cop 5 days where the opposition is completely switched off, and we have some luck, we may win 5 more. Our win/loss will be 100% decided by how hard our opponents come to play...

And the talk of numbers of wins and sneaking into finals has been laughable coming from the MFC. This is a club that 4 rounds of football back were 10 goals behind Carlton in the second quarter. There is very little heart in this club.

So what you're saying is we won't win as many as last year? You're posting utter tripe tonight, rufus. Take a bex and lie down.

Guys what are our chances of winning 7 you reckon??

Guys???

Correct I don't think we'll win as many as we did last year. The Bulldogs will not relax when playing us this year (they were clearly not switched on the first time they played us last year, you could see it as they were doing their warm up). Richmond will probably be swtiched on when they play us this year after losing to us last year. No way in the free world Geelong don't bring their intensity when they play us this year. Not sure who we are going to beat? Maybe Brisbane at the 'G? St Kilda play with significantly more pride than us and will beat us twice, I'm certain of it.

The way some are posting tonight, you'd think we wouldn't win another game all season.

Let's revisit this in a couple of months then, shall we?

You've got to learn to sift through the posts Maple - after a loss the same posters jump right in and pot everything about the club they can every single time.  They're even the ones who focus on negatives after a win.  You've got to find the posts that make sense and look at things in a logical way.  Once you do that you'll find it's not so bad.

Deal! I don't want to be right but I've seen this movie before.

 

We were lucky to win last week. After today not a chance.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
