Every game is a danger game for us we can't be trusted yet.

Agreed, there is nothing that we've shown this year to make me believe that we will bring our A-game every week. If anything I'm less confident than last year.

    Goes to show anything is possible this Sunday, particularly with the evenness of the comp (outside of Carlton and Brizzy)

    Mindset and discipline are the keys, if we start well and turnover the scoreboard then I expect the Saints to wilt. We really need a big win to give the players some real confidence.

    And we have a shyte percentage, atmo.  Well below the teams above us.

    Trouble been a MFC supporter is we watch every game with our heart in our mouth.  It is decades of inconsistency and not knowing which team will turn up on any given day.  The season is on a knife edge and we have to be at our best every week.  Beating the Saints, GC and Carlton are simply a must for us to cement our season.  I have no idea week to week it’s a lottery and that’s a major concern.  If we miss out on the 8 it’s a dismal failure with our list.  Supporters of this club are just fatigued with inconsistency.  If we are to improve we must win the next 3 then there is a glimmer of hope.  At the moment I do not trust this club.

    Can't trust the Melbourne Football Club, they'll come out against St. Kilda on Sunday and play their usual week after a win shyte, you can put a thousand on it, Saints at $3.27 would be worth a little wager

    “Their kicking skills were absolutely deplorable,” Lyon told SEN Breakfast.

    “Like, deplorable to the point we all watch footy on Sunday at 3pm and we’re all experts in our loungeroom, your phone just starts pinging and all your mates are watching the same thing and wondering whether you’re watching AFL footy.

    “The players in that Melbourne side last year that we thought were going to become something, where’s Alex Neal-Bullen, where’s Jayden Hunt, James Harmes seems to have just stagnated, Dom Tyson's best footy is behind him, Petracca hasn’t lit one up for a long time and these were the sorts of blokes we thought were going to carry them.

    “Clayton Oliver is their best player and doesn't kick very often, still.”

    I see what you did there....

    Can't rely on us to completely demoralise the saints, but I think you can rely on us for the win.

    The saints are very poor. They were always going to struggle after being a middle rung team last year and facing the prospect of losing Riewoldt & Montagna at once.

    What fresh hell is this?

    St Kilda V Melbourne, 73, from 3PM this Sunday.

    In Northern NSW, it's rare the Demons are on 73. And if they are, it's usually a portent of a horror-show to come.

    I'll pull the aerial down and head into the paddocks oblivious to inevitable shamble show.

    GWS not that good.

    yes they are, but usually at home.  GWS took the foot off and never should have lost/drawn that game.  The saints couldn't believe how lucky they got getting draw.

    But...... use it as a wake up to start off as they finished on Sunday.

    Do not stress I am going to tab now to put 10 bucks on saints at 3.25.    Given my terrible luck with the punt  its a guaranteed win to the dees.   I  really hope and trust I will not be collecting  (last thing I want to do !!) am just putting the punting gods in Dees favor.

    Did you agree or disagree with this?

    ANB, jeez people are quick to jump on him, overall his trajectory is improving, not the 1st to be dropped by any means, am going to write a post about ANB later. 

    Hunt, this was the 1st game this year where I thought he had refound his run, bombs it like a former dee Moloney and I want that to change - I think opposition will learn from Essendon mistake in giving him that run. But was thinking his game showed promising signs

    Harmes is always what he has been, why the surprise?

    Tyson is having a good year overall.

    I think to really ensure a win, you should put a gorilla on the table - there's a gorilla, on the table, let's go. (Say in 12th Man Hansie Cronjie voice)

    This is exactly the type of game in the past we would go in with our chests inflated.

    We have to be on from the first bounce. We take them lightly and just expect to win, we are in deep trouble.

    We have to win to get season back on track. Winnable games coming up.

    We need to win by 10 goals to help make up the % loss to Hawks and Richmond.

    We lost what, 114 points aggregate?

    We have made up 36 of that, 78 to go.

    We then need to make more up against Carlton.

    And that doesn't account for 5 weeks of winning / not winning by 10-20 pt margins.

    My maths might be slightly off.

    Just bank the 4 points bro and move to the following week ... at this stage.

    You never go full bank with Melbourne.

    I've put a massive fiver on the Saints. Emotional hedge.

    My point is that I would like to see us legitimately [censored] someone as risible as STKFC'18.

    Like, by 187 points. We can then all forever talk about 187 not 186 (the confusion this would cause would be hilarious in itself).

    Killer instinct missing. (Has anyone got a link to Lever's last 1/4 guffaw at the Essendon play on c9ckup referred to by Demonblog/Adam1.0)

    I don't get how posters on here are saying saints better then bombers, there record is worse, the bombers beat the crows in Melbourne, and the saints lost by 55 points to a undermanned Crows. The saints have been trying they are just no good, if the dees take them serious then we win by 35. The docklands is now our favorite ground, we now play it better then anyone. Where is the moron who started this thread? they really destroyed us.

    • 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?
