Here we go.

If we had of set a bench mark for our last 4 weeks I think 75 goals, 14 quarters won in a row and 3rd on the ladder would have been about the best we could hope for.

To those who say we played easy teams, tell that to Hawthorn and Geelong last week.

These next 3 games are vitally important, and I for one have a good feeling.

    I will miss the game today, it’s on right when I need to have a sleep before I head off and do 12 hours night shift, got it booked to record so hoping to wake up to a big win and I can catch the replay tomorrow

    Not to get ahead but with a Demon win and a Hawks win over the Eagles, we would be 1 game from top spot.

    I'll happily settle on a win of any proportions, but I have a very pleasant game-day feeling that we will have won 18 quarters on the trot by the end of the round.  That's not 100% unreasonable, is it?

    Think we will get the job done. Huge game to keep in touch with the top 4 & cement inside the 8. Biggest game this clubs played in for many years, free to air & many eyes watching. Time to show we are the real deal.

    So I have a kiddie matinee show thingo I have to attend,  and if I get caught on the phone by Mrs Naked I’m dead meat.  So I will be blind to probably the first half at least, unless I can a few dunny runs.

    Adelaide play a tough contested brand of ball.  We have to serve it straight back.  Max will dominate Jacobs, their midfield will ruck to him.  Need to win the midfield, and shut down their HB run.  And keep Eddie quiet.

    1 goal per quarter better, plus a late surge sees us home by 35 points.

    I will watch the replay later.

    Absolutely.  Adelaide even with a bunch of guns out are a very good team.

    A 1 win point will be just fine thanks.

    Feels like today’s game is a defining moment for us.

    Only one game I know, but.......

    Win and we are free to dream the dream.

    I'll begrudingly support a 0.0.3 to 0.0.2 win so we keep our percentage going up.

    I have to attend my mother in laws birthday gathering this afternoon....oh what fun!  Can’t decide if this is a line in the sand, seizing the moment, stamping our authority or no turning back game. This is also the first of 3 payback games owing to atone for last seasons round 23 debacle.

    I was more confident early in the week but I have a feeling the game will be a repeat of our last match against them in the top end. Even with 5 big outs I think they will be too strong for us. Fingers crossed I'm wrong.

    The Hawks and Tigers games are still fresh enough in my memory to be too confident about this one. But if we do win then I will believe we are the real deal.

    Today is the day, Go Dees!!!

    Yes they were real easy, everyone points out how we have not beaten anyone good, pointing to the big lose against hawthorn, but 2 of our wins those teams smashed hawthorn. Hawks were really smashed by Brisbane that was  embarrassing, just  imagine if Brisbane beat us by 10 goals, everyone would be asking for Goodwin's head, and writing up that we are doomed. The Hawks will lose this weekend by 10 goals.

     

    Thoughts.

    • We were playing with a large number of players out of form at the start of the year and were doing ok.
    • Hawthorn game showed that we were out of form and gave us a reality check
    • We were mentally under the pump in the Richmond game with the aftermath of the Hawks game and were not on our game
    • 4 games against easy opponents, but we now have a number of players who are back in form.
    • This one is ours for the taking. They have a large number of players out and we are in red hot form. Lets do this!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
