Relax, we got this.

Dees by 5 goals.

    The Suns will have a dip no doubt.

    Stuie Dew is in the phase of his rebuild that Roosy was in in 2014. With him, he can't really drop players 4 at a time as they really have no one to replace them. That said they are building the habits this year that will hold them in good stead for years to come.

    I think we should win by about 5 goals should things break our way. 18 points is the more likely winning margin.

    I think we are 2 goals a quarter better.  That’s 48 point margin if we play 4 quarters.  Line by line we are a much better squad.  The only thing that will beat Melbourne today is...Melbourne.

    We don't beat ourselves. That's not the Melbourne way. Well I don't. Can't speak for all of you.

    This is our day people !! 

    Deeeelihghtful!

    I'm out all day so I'll be keeping tabs on my phone.  As I can't discuss the game with all you wonderful* people, I'll leave you with these:

    - A 5 goal win is fine.  In fact, ANY win on the road is fine.

    - Dom Tyson is the best disposer of the football in the AFL and will hit target after target today.

    - Don't [censored] your pants when Gold Coast kick the first and then refer to the lead up play as 'reminding you of the Mark Neeld days'

    - ANB should be a long distance runner at the next Olympic Games.

    - Dees to win... by 5 goals...

    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'.

    You mean 5/3  with 14 rounds to go ProDee?

    At least one of my drinks will have an umbrella in it for sure.

    I live overseas so I am one hour behind Oz.

    I would have posted that around 9:30.

    I was talking about the perils of a loss.  If we lose we'll be 4/4, which would make finals difficult.

    I expect a comfortable win.

    I was thinking of watching the match at the Sporting Globe in Richmond. Is that a good place to watch the match? Are any other Demonlanders going there? Is it too dorky to wear a Demons' scarf? Hello, is anyone still reading this?

    I see that now after re-reading your post. Gold Coast should be at least a 30 point win today and we should have a 60 point win over Carlton next week which will be big percentage boosters for us. I reckon we'll be nearing top 4 after round 9. 


    A must win, give the Suns a sniff and we’ll be in trouble, must get on top early and not let up, can’t afford to stop like we did against the Lions. Prodee is spot on, despite being still relatively early in the season, this is a critical game for us when it comes to finals.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
