The long suffering Demon in me asks "can they put in four quarters today?"

I guess we will know in an hour or so.

A week ago Neale Daniher addressed the Melbourne team ahead of their game v Collingwood saying, "in a week's time you won't remember a thing I said". They went out and recorded a famous victory over C

Every week feels bigger than the last and it will continue to do so while there is genuine top four positions on offer.

Omen time: I went to a great game of VAFA footy at Brighton Beach Oval where top side Old Brighton Grammar beat Ajax in a close hard fought high quality contest yesterday. After the game, th

Any word on Jetta? Didn't look good going into half time.

He is easily one of our most important players and was giving stringer fits before coming off the ground.

If JoeBoy gives his usual spiel about Tyson 'butchering' the ball, he loses the right to write his 3 word analysis. His kicking has been spot on today.

Enjoying Oscar's work so far. Clearly has worked on his kicking and decision making. Still needs to bulk up though.

I don't mind your input. I see your point... but we need mongrel and pricks like that. We were pushed around for a decade. It's good to see us push back.

Today is the "strongest" I've seen Melbourne for years, not backing down etc

That's why Buggs flop stood out so much.

The whole way he blindsided Wood then took a fall was really ordinary in my opinion.

You guys have got them on the ropes by playing good strong football and not taking any sh!t, no need for Buggs antics.

Tommy Bugg was named on the ground this week, not on the bench which is where he often appears.  That told me the coaching staff liked his game style last week. Today he's taking it a notch higher, but to me it's lifting the team and bringing results.

It may be unsociable, but I've hated being everyone's biatch for way too long now.

There have been a few dodgy decisions our way, but the Dogs have had a few too.  Free kicks are 13-13 so we haven't been given that much of a rub.  The sooky sooky la la Dogs fans make it worse than it looks.

The frees have gone our way because we are first to the ball - has been one of our problems with the umps in the past.

Fair enough. I can only go by what I hear on the radio up here in NSW. I'll no doubt see it later.

I'm lucky my dees bet has paid out because we were over 24 points in front. But I think it will be a very very close match. Certainly not a gimme.

I thought it was just me that was noticing them sook up wise. Jeez they are getting stuc into Wattsy for no good reason. They win one flag and now they are a vocal bunch. They are just used to getting the rub and don't like it when it doesn't go their way!

Obviously you guys are loving Bugg, but that was pathetic. Blind sides Easton Wood, then goes down far to easy for a free shot at goal.

Guess you can say it's smart play, but I don't think anyone wants that sort of behaviour or play rewarded with a goal.

But other than that, you guys are all over them and will win this.

Doggies in real strife in missing out on the finals 

Blame the umpire.

Melksham is playing on Johannisen who takes the Bulldogs kickouts and he's had 6 disposals.

We've kicked 8.6

Think about that for a second

You don't get a disposal from kick ins as far as I'm aware. 

EDIT but great work from Melksham!

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
