i fail to ever understand how weather plays into our hands

Maybe because huge scores are generally not achieved in wet and slippery conditions.  Might keep the margin to under 10 goals.

Wait for us to play a ripper of a game and the usual cast of miscreants simply blames the weather for our efforts, rather than giving the team credit for the performance.

Anyone else use the 'Footy Live' app? Under today's game and 'Head to Head' there are some really good stats. If correct, we go in with some very similar match ups, age, average score, ave. marks inside 50 (both 12 per game), we're slightly up on contested possessions. On paper we match up very very evenly.

Only prob with that is hawthorn play better teams than we do due to fixturing.

5 minutes to go until the bounce, nice of Fox Footy to talk about our game instead of interviewing Carlton and Brisbane players.

Not allowed to. It's the channel 7 game.

I'd love for us to be still in the game at 3/4 time. Been a long time since that's happened against the Hawks.

Come to think of it .. I'm pretty sure last time we were was back in the Aaron Davey days & it was wet that day. Hawks stood up in the last QTR with stronger bodies. Let's do to them what they did to us!

    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?

    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
