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? 

 

I know its a case of if my aunty had 8Alls.......but if max kicked true against geelong we woyld be playing 4 fifth spot today. Just saying ....maybe its not so bad despite my own doom and gloom......medications starting to kick in in.

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

?Give ourselves a buffer for the inevitable fade ?

Effort is all they have we need to match it . 

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.

Edited by Colin B. Flaubert


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. 

Looking forward to a delicious 42 point win!

Confident and hopefully not deluded

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. 


Supremely confident.

In the immortal words of the average toothless Richmond supporter,,,,,,

"WERE GONNA FRASH EM" *sic

fully sic


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: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
