I've just returned to the welcoming bosom of The Manor so will be an armchair expert today.

I confidently predict a minimum 6 goal victory which I shall celebrate with the maid.

 

Head says we should win by 6-7 goals, MFCSS says we lose,  cop a couple of injuries and McCartin kicks a bag.

 

I'm doing my part, I'm concentrating on my pregame fluid preloading and praying

Was that the great oracle Richard Head?

Is it every time we are on TV we tend to lose?

Or every time I switch on the radio the opposition kicks a goal? And then think it’s my fault for listening!

Probably his brother, Boot.

I thought it was only me...

Hunt practising torps out of the goal square. Most carried about 70m, right up the middle. His last one hit the egde of the centre circle so closer to 80m

Now trying torps at the goals from his favourite pocket. Nailed one of them. All the rest were all over the place... ?

Trac is warming up

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. 

Carlton are now irrelevant and done as a topic. Saints had their turn this week. North have come good. Dees go down today and we're the story next week. If we win it'll be tommy Hawkins touching the umpires that will be next weeks SEN fodder that lets us off the hook and the goal review system.

Hawkins little brush of the hand will be a major talking point along with score review but there always has to be a team the media has to focus on that is down and out/done/discraceful/need to have a long good hard look at themselves etc.

You are right we are definitely right there ready to be the whipping boys for another week if we lose. If we win I reckon it might be Freo looking like a huge loss along with all their other drama at the moment.

Really dislike having to wait for the 3.20 game on a Sunday – not a fan.


Well im yet to see us win live. I have been to all the other games but couldn't make the nth or bummers game and obviously Ididn't go to Brisbane.  So im hoping im not a jinx

I'm here way too early.

Hunt should try hitting a target from 30 instead.

2 of each?

I can’t clap today due to injury. Hope the other 2 people can carry the burden of cheering.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
