Thanks Cats. After their squealing against the Dogs - a 26 to 8 free kick count in their favour, Crows still not good enough. Good loss for Crows, one of the teams we gotta displace.

So...do I have to barrack against Adelaide for the rest of the year? Because my family members in South Australia aren't going to like that.

What more reason do you need??? ^_^

If you have a play with the ladder predictor, you'll see that Adelaide look like sitting just above us in eighth spot basically for the rest of the season.  It would take some freak results for us to get over them and into the eight.  So yes, you absolutely need to barrack against them for the rest of the year.  Send them as many negative vibes as you can, because if they fall over and Melbourne win the games they should (ie against the bottom 6) we may have a sniff at finals this year.

Yeah, we all want to win...... thats a given.

But we also know that the Dogs are a considerably better team than we are ATM. Doesnt mean we cant win, but it does mean it will be against the odds if we do.

We get close and lose, im not so angry. We win and i am both surprised and pumped. 

Dogs for the win. ( Sorry )

P.S. GO DEES !!

It's not so much that they are good.  They just have draw that matches up with ours really well.  Every time we win, so do they.

Totally meaningless unles we win and keep winning. 

It's a nice milestone. 

I think it goes without saying that we need to keep winning.  Do you reckon the club might go "ripper, we're in the 8 one game in to round 8, let's pack up shop for the rest of the season now"?

The overwhelming optimism here gives me serious cause for concern about the outcome of tomorrow's match.

Feels suspiciously like the St Kilda match, after we won 2-in-a-row and spent the week beaming in the media.

I can certainly see that, but I reckon we'll be on tomorrow. Whether we can beat them is another matter. I've been telling my mates we'll beat them, so I hope so.

I know what you mean but think you are a week early. Reckon the players will have really set themselves for this one. A win will prove we are on the up and to be taken seriously. And then next week there will be a fair bit of "oh my poo actually doesn't smell" We will then get hammered by Brisbane.

That does fit the usual Melbourne formula doesn't it, judging by our Carlton and Essendon losses last year.

I was seriously concerned about the Saints game, they match up well on us and it was at their home ground, a ground we don't handle all that well.

I'm feeling confident about tomorrow and whilst I'm not expecting us to win by a lot, I'm expecting us to win.

    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.

    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?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
