Im going out  on  a limb here but Im guessing you still enjoy the joy of single life.

If not I salute your stance. See you at  the family court.

married twice and other deliances,single and enjoying it,umm I do see a pattern here

 

No excuses for this game. Saints will come out fired up after all the negative press, good sides absorb the pressure early then grind over the top (see Richmond).

On paper, the talent discrepancy is enormous, but if we let Saints jump us, or fall asleep for our trademark quarter, it's not going to be comfortable.

Saints are missing some of their best players in Bruce, Roberton and Acres but play Etihad better than most. Won't be a pretty game, but our talent should rise.

Dees by 26 

Wife wants a quiet one this afternoon so I am being forcefully removed from the TV and told to go and watch it live, so I guess that's whats happening.

Im scared to think which Melbourne will show up. If we go in cocky, we will most likely pay dearly for it.

Saints have to find some form at some point. At home against us - they have a bloody good track record. It's a 50/50 toss for me.

C'mon MFC. Lets get this season back on track with a win.

I just want a win even if it is a point.

Wheeling pram in for juniors first game. Wee Dee will be struggling to see above 'n below roll-bar & expecting big things (& hoping Viney raises the mug before his old man pops his clogs).

Suns out roof open roof closed today? 

I work just down the road from Etihad and getting a couple of hours in before the game starts.

As at 10.30am, the roof was open.  Hopefully they close it.

Does anyone on here read papers unless they (papers) are free and they have a spare minute. Not likely.

Does anyone believe the "sage" advice from the Media. Not likely.

We are now that well informed to just say its rubbish and a waste of time. Likely.

The Media are ill informed, bias and paid to favour. Thanks Rupert.... now what's this thread about?

...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 ?

For whatever reason I’ve watched a lot of Bulldogs games this year. The commentators at some point will reference their drop off since winning the flag. I know we joke it about but we can’t even put in a 4 qtr effort let alone string 3-4 consecutive games togethers of quality football.

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.

So U r saying dees will lose!!!!

I just hope Jones plays with the same aggressive attitude that he had last week because imo he played one of his best games last week. 

Need to do it consistently though.

Damn..........i assumed they named him he was in. Is he injured or is the club taking a stand? I know i have been critical but hes exciting  to see. I thought 10 tackles in the magoos was very good. Maybe spargo can go up fwd.

they left him out,poor form and spargo fired last week,stupid bye for casey makes it hard to play back into form

My question to the FD is what steps would be taken today to counteract, the quick ball over the high press, that the saints in particular seem so good at achieving against the dees at Etihad over the last 2 years (irrespective of our wins).

Saints did it for us = No Riewoldt.

Seriously Riewoldt was the master at playing between the zones.

Should be a good win today.

Its out of place but  watching tigers tackling freo was the same they did to us.............just no room to move. We could learn somthing.

Closed now

It’s always funny when crap teams play us we always fear they will come good, but objectively we know the saints are absolute [censored]. With that said I’m very nervous and I hope we scrape home in a very ugly thriller ?

  • 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?
