Lets hope the umpires don't give lots of frees against Max like his 'straight arm' ruck work, like last time we played the saints- wasn't it StK that complained to the AFL about Max's style not long before the game.  Poor sportsmanship compounded by the AFL/umpires blindsiding the mfc and Max about his 'faulty' technique.

Hope Max wreaks some revenge.  And hope we we thrash them for their poor sportsmanship in whinging to the AFL. 

Dees with a percentage boosting win!

Maybe Max should invest in a neck tattoo?

    Once again it comes down to mindset, we need to put them away early.

    ...and then carry on with it. Don’t forget they nearly came back and rolled us last year after a six goal lead early

    Id be curious to know hiw many goals weve given up in junk time this year.

    Saints as likely as any to jump on these opportunities

    No Max last year or Charlie "The Messiah" Sparko ~     (ok thats probably an early call)....

    There are two simple options on the table...

    Beat St. Kilda 

    Or

    Become them.

    The media, with incessant demands for website clicks, viewers and readers, need a team each week who is 'doomed' or 'disappointing'. They will be all over us like stink on a monkey should we drop this one.

    The media are waiting for us to stuff up today. Some said yesterday imagine if Melbourne drop the game tomorrow. This is a game we all know we should win and win well but not at all surprised if we drop it. 

    I just hope we are past that stage. Today we need to to and win well. Get that percentage up and get a 2 game buffer on the teams below us. 

    Cannot wait. I expect Maxy to dominate the ruck and our midfield to be to strong.

    Going to Shiddihad today but I am not confident. Saints will have intensity and if we start like we did against the bombers we will be down by 4 goals at half time. 

    Interesting St Kilda have gone in with 2 ruckman who are both over 200cm tall. They have a pretty experienced and tall backline, so our forwards need to be really switched on from the get go. Feel like this would have been the perfect game for jeffy..

    Armitage coming in gives them more experience and a hard body around the contest.

    Think this will be a closer game then many people think.

    It's the wife's birthday so I can't make it.... might try sneak a few quarters on TV.

    Really got to come out and put the Saints away. There are no stand out sides in this competition and everyone seems to be inconsistent (except the Tigers and Eagles). So we've got a huge chance over the next 3 weeks to establish ourselves as contenders.

    She's had birthdays before and she'll have them again. Why do wives think their silly birthday is more important than a big dees win over the saints ?? Go to the game and enjoy it.

    Anyone else worried the Saints might kick straight for a change today? 36 goals 65 behinds in their last 5 games.

    The Saints have had a week of 'soul searching' and 'home truths' so I'd expect them to come out hard.  Withstand their early flurry, get the game on our terms, and then let our superior talent dictate terms.

    We’ve had countless of these soul searching sessions in the past and it’s meant SFA  so it’s important to destroy their confidence early and watch them unravel.

    Today is about percentage. A close win or a loss of any kind will be an abject failure by players and coaches. We need to start winning games against bottom sides, and winning them well.

    Dees by 50 points

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
