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!

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
