As the wild and woolly weather persists in Victoria, the Demons should benefit from playing in Brisbane where the sun shines most of the time and pleasant conditions are expected.

Go Demons!

Am on the Northern Rivers - given how bloody cold it is here today with a Southern Ocean-esque freezing Souwesterly, the dees should feel right at home! Freezing!

 

PS - be grateful it's on telly in Melb - it's not on the Coffs broadcast! ?

Why isn't this game in Cairns ?? I'm in Port Douglas now and I would go to watch them in a heartbeat if it were in Cairns. As it is, I'll be watching it with FND at the Central Hotel in Port Douglas as the coconut palms sway in a gentle tropical zephyr. 

This is our day people !!

I live in East Brisbane about 400  metres from the Gabba.  It was very windy here yesterday although fine and sunny. Looks pretty much the same today although a tad cooler. Wind at this stage not as strong as yesterday. The Gabba surface should be just about perfect for the game.

The Victorian based fans will be easy to spot. They will be the ones in short sleeved shirts with sunscreen on their faces. Us acclimatised and transplanted wannabe banana benders will be wearing jackets! Brrrrrr!

Heading up from the GC to take my 3 year old to her first game!!! 

Is there anywhere to park close to the game or is the train/bus really the only way into the gabba?

Crap wish I had your confidence Pineapple. To me this is definition of classic Melbourne DANGER GAME!!!  We are the better team on paper, are favourites to win, should win and pretty much everyone on here expects to win. What could possibly go wrong....

See you at the Central.

why not Collingwood supporters get most of their games for free.

It's just another way in which the powerful clubs become more so and have done so for the last twenty years.

This is a must win game.  I don't believe we play finals without beating a Gold Coast team without Tom Lynch.  Nor would an aspiring finals team deserve to be finalists with a loss today.

Most importantly, we'll be 4/4 with 14 rounds to go.  We'd need to win a minimum of 8 matches from the 14 (preferably 9) to play finals with two games against Adelaide scheduled, a game at Kardinia Park, games against Sydney and the Giants (the latter will have plenty of players back by round 23), and a game against West Coast in Perth, but this time with Naitanui and Kennedy.

There will basically be no wriggle room to make finals with a loss today.

I think we'll win and win well, but a loss will most likely mean 'season over'.

Difference is, they know we Melbourne supporters can afford Foxtel if we chose to get it, filth supporters... well, they probably steal IQ boxes and try and insert them in their ears.

Second week in a row that I've woken up on gameday without a dose of pre-match nerves.  The formula worked well last week, so I'll stick with it and say we'll win comfortably.  More seriously, that's exactly what we must do if we have finals aspirations.  Anything less and we are no more than pretenders.  Just do it Dees!

Hopefully a good solid win building on what was a very reasonable performance last week albeit the scoreline flattered us with the Saints appalling set shot kicking.

Looking forward to Brayshaw delivering a solid game on the back of his BOG last week. Would like to see the Weid get more of it in the first half than in previous weeks.

Another game we can not take lightly. Suns arent as bad as people think. They have some real talent, its just whether they actually can gel together.

A must win game and another next week and we are right back in the fold for top 8.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
