Today’s games have highlighted to me how optimistic we should be about our list and our future. We have talent on every line, it’s now a mental game.

    The Doggies have regressed badly in the space of the last 20 months. It’s one of the worst falls from grace we’ve seen in years.

    Bevo is rebuilding again, after their season from hell.

    At least they got that flag,  breaking the drought.  but it came at a cost.

    and this is the danger period.

    Thinking we are better then we really are.

     

    "getting ahead"  is not all its cracked out to be.

    Its often a negative thing.

    My opinion doesn’t influence the players. I’m just stating we have the talent on each line to be successful, especially when you compare the opposition. At this time and stage it’s mental.

    Things ain't as sweet as they want us to believe down at Catland. Word is Ablett only returned because he was promised a cool million in a certain will if he returned...

    Well I wouldn't have thought God had so much loose change and whats another mill to him in betrayal

    Surely the market gardener paid out big time with the former coach !

    Said he was going chainsawring with his new found wealth !

    Some people are never satisfied !

    Wow, Essendon have done us a favor the last two weeks beating two of our competitors.   Cant believe they beat Geelong and GWS on the road.

    The GWS experiment is looking like a failure, same with Gold Coast.  The Demetriou legacy.  Blew his chance to bring in a Tasmania team and instead created two fake plastic franchises with no substance.

    Giants a marketing nightmare for AFL.

    Quite obviously GW$$$$ and Carlton need to share the first ten picks this draft.

    GWS in particular are heartless and soulless as a football club.  You would have to think that effects the psyche of their players.  I mean, when a club that was winning and winning well can not attract more people to it's home games than the MFC in the dark days, as a GWS player you would have to think why bother, no one except Gill and his overpaid mates cares.  How much longer are the AFL and the 17 other genuine teams going to go on supporting this sporting pariah that's draining the funds and spirit of the competition.

    Carlton also did us a favour by denying Geelong a huge percentage boost.  Vs Carlton, ours went up by 14% last week but Geelong's went up by just 3% last night. 

    Could be very important for the final ladder positions.

    Have you factored in how many people aren’t watching on TV???

    The very choice of the name "Giants" gave away that this was an imitation club designed by committee with no fans or grass roots involvement allowed in its creation.

    But the AFL will keep pumping money into it until it wins a flag, or the AFL goes bankrupt and sells its assets to the A-League and the NRL, or a giant comet strikes the Earth.

    Can you explain again who "we" are as it seems somewhat variable. Could be Richmond, could be AFL House marketing department. There may even be some small chance it refers to the MFC.

    Not having much luck in favoured MFC outcomes this weekend...

    Go Weagles on the assumption we can give them top spot and aim for 2 or 3 ourselves by season's end !!

    Not sure who to support in the Freo v North battle... tending towards Freo

    Thats right. If we lost to the Tigers in a Grand Final, you would go and celebrate with them in your Tiger undies.

    Best game i have seen him play in Melbourne by far

    What I took from todays geme:
    - Respect for Lever, he could be the dominant figure in the backline in years to come;

    - Even workload, no one stared, everyone played their part

    - Very cleaver recruiting, especially the rookie and late draft

    - Dont want to dream too early but could Melbourne be on the cusp of something special?

    -Nev Jetta is so underrated!

    - Forward line so accurate I wonder how much Goodwin puts on importance of kicking straight. All players as accurate as Brad Green back in the day!

     

    Love it!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
