  • We are deadset screwed. Melbourne should be planning for a 100pts + win
  • Etihad is not an advantage anymore against them. They beat us easily there in 2017
  • Melbourne will be the best team we've played this year, looking awesome today: pace, excellent field-kicking, goal-kicking - all those things we lack really. All those early draft picks and some astute recruiting have created an impressive line-up
  • We've been killed by some of the best rucks recently and next game happens to feature Gawn
  • Neal-Bullen dominated last week. Taken 5 spots before Bailey Dale
  • So far this year we have kicked 97 goals, Demons have kicked 160. We're screwed. All we can do is stack the team with defenders and hope for the best
  • At what stage to we plead the mercy rule we have kicked 10 goals the last 2 weeks they have kicked close to 50 goals so if that average applies 25 goals to 5 goals 120 point margin
  • Logically Melbourne should be winning this easily, but they’re definitely due for a down game
  • Lost all 4 quarters to them last year
  • I predict Melbourne to meet West Coast in the GF and lose a nailbiter 
  • Melbourne supporters whinging about going theough tough times the last 10 years which is why they're getting ahead of themselves now
  • Melbourne will beat us by over 80 points - Gawn will dismantle us
  • Melbourne might even smash us by more they did last yr - and that was a slaugheration.
  • We can only hope the Dees get ahead of themselves and screw up
  • I got a horrible feeling about this week after our last 2 and Melbourne ‘s last two
  • Be a hell of a scalp against Melbourne
  • Every week Bevo comes out with excuse after excuse , total dribble , over complicates his post match analysis 
  • I am literally at a complete loss. To me 2016 seems like a grand deception
  • Can we just concede defeat and not even turn up for the Melbourne game?

    Ok I'm convinced. I won't be impressed unless we win 25 goals to 5. 120 point margin coming up now.

    Could see an Under 10's score based on that summary.

    Whats happened to those Dogs?

    They’ll be fresher,  about their only chance if we don’t bring our game.

    Thanks Queeny, that is utter gold. 

    I expect the dogs to play an ultra defensive game plan and try frustrate the Dee to a victory. The Dogs only genuine hope is if our young team has drunk their own bath water....... and fail to respect the opposition and what it takes to win.

    It is Jones’ 250th.  I will pop a valve if they don’t have a dip for Nate.

    I feel for this bloke.
    Even if we did manage to snatch a flag I'd be p1zzed if we self destructed over the next couple years like they have.
    Was bad enough in 2001.

    Yes, but it just confirms how much like getting a camel through the eye of a needle winning a GF is. You just need everything, from the smallest to the biggest, to go right. Also confirms how little it takes for it all to go belly up.

    Was a frantic game style they played.
    Played finals a year or 2 before winning it.
    Now that they got the dream I don't think they have the drive or confidence to run as hard as they were then.

    That comment really stood out.  Imagine that, winning a flag and feeling robbed two years later cos it all fell apart.

    Hopefully we are set up for sustained success...  not that any of us would complain if we stole a flag and then fell apart Doggies style.   Well some would.  Maybe all of us.  I dont know.

    I'd be content with one flag in my lifetime.

    Pretty realistic stuff from those supporters unlike the fantasy land Carlton supporters pre 109

    Dogs supporters are a good bunch. Was genuinely happy for them in 2016.

    Ruchmond supporters on the other hand...

    I think humbleness is important at this time.

    It can all come crashing down very quickly no matter how high we’re apparently flying right now.

    Keep executing the basics better than those against them - yeah, I know that it is a Goodwin mantra, as is humble, but it is true. The moment that we assume the other team will not be doing those things we will get hurt. By all means I hope the club enjoys it when it works, as long as they don't forget what got them there in the first place.

    That's my favourite. When we're being referred to as a scalp, I'm happy.

    I think the difference with us is we have rebuilt slowly and carefully for sustained success when Roos came in, learnt defence, played kids in vfl, developed carefully and built a culture. Dogs were a frantic mess that snatched a flag. I agree that doggies supporters are a good bunch too

    It wouldn’t be beyond us to have a flat one. But I don’t think we will. 

    This seems a different mindset to last season. We’re playing FOR each other. There’s a confidence. There’s a ruthlessness. There’s a flint hardness. Last year we lost to bottom four sides, this year we’re smashing them. I’m interested in seeing how our ball movement matches up to a more defensive group. We’ve looked very fast moving it, without having any overt leg speed. Least bounces in the comp this year. Want to see how we move it against better teams. 

    I spoke with a senior player after the Hawks loss: they were trying to use the corridor more. At that stage we were 18th for corridor use. Now, we own it. He said it was a confidence-thing. Now you see players turning inside before going down the line. It’s good to see, but take some elite kicking.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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?
