Gee Josh, everything read well until you mentioned the “green death” and beer in the same sentence!  If you’re looking for a decent beer after the game try Penny Blue off Little Bourke Street.  You will be spoilt for choice mate.

Enjoy the game and Nate’s 250th.

Nahhhh, hit the Mitre Tavern in Mitre Place, off the western end of Collins Street. Best beers, reasonable prices, phabulous atmosphere and almost privately quiet for the lengthy think about football, meat pies and Holden cars.

    It’s my sons 1st birthday which I organized the party for 1:30 start, I never checked the fixture I just assumed we were playing tomorrow, so I will have to catch replay later 

    That’s just BAD parenting. Don’t worry U won’t make the same mistake twice. 

    Priorities Brendan priorities!

    Last year I remember we were paying 1.02 to make the 8 leading into round 23 

    still scarred by that , will bank it when its mathematically certain 

    a win today would be nice 

    Yep, $11 to miss the 8 prior to the Collingwood match last year.  Let's just keep winning and discuss when betting on us is suspended ?

    We are still 7.50 for the flag this morning, but i think we will soon leapfrog Sydney into 3rd spot at 6.00 by next week if we win well today.

    Just woke up in Exmouth WA, on holiday with the Fam. If you ever get the chance to dive with whale sharks DO IT!!! We (wife and two girls 4 and 2yo) went out the other day and we had an epic day. 3 islands were our tour group and they were exeptional. My girls eyes nearly popped out of their heads when they saw their first whale shark up close ( 3m away), a memory I will never forget.

    Wife follows Bulldogs, so me and the kids are going to be ganging up on her and trying to get the boys over the line. Looking forward to the boys playing arressive, skillfull footy such as we have been treated to over the past few weeks.

    Go Demons!

    PS Thanks for everything you have done for the club Nathan, hope you have a ripping day and the boys do you and all of us proud???

    This week to me is the test to see whether with the media circus our young team start drinking their own bath water. It’s the week to show leadership and not showboat but continue our ruthless edge. It’s the week where teams start to set themselves for us and we become the hunted. Let’s see how we handle the shift. The dogs as have been mentioned still have match winners and 10+ Quality players but it’s hard even if they win the general battle seeing them out scoring us. Best of luck to Jonesy. Had a 250 one club player ever been more deserving.

    I reflect on the past when the boot was on the other foot and we were down and out and playing a side that was in form and on top of their game. We rarely won and often barely raised a whimper after a quarter or so. 

    The Dogs are in that space right now. We will win and do it well.

    I remember when Jones first started he'd butcher the ball and lack awareness. funny how things have changed.

    Just spoke to someone in our ruckmans inner sanctum. Max did not pull up too well after Wednesday’s training. Bad headache, bit of photophobia ( probably courtesy of that hit to the head in the second quarter) but appears to have slept it  all off and now feels a million dollars. He is convinced they will win well today. Losing has not crossed his mind.

    World. Hell. Handbasket.

     

     

    lol

    I love doing dad things

    for the Carlton game my son insisted on bouncing on the tramp so I had game streaming on Foxtel app on iPad outside tramp and just a kept checking 

    The talent level between the two teams is huge and the Dogs can not kick goals. Their only chance is to make it a 4 quarter scrap and bring intense pressure, and for us to have a down game and perhaps have some fatigue from Darwin while they had an extra 2 days break.

    Demons by 29.

    Gotta get a fast start on pile on early goals, can’t allow them to get anything early and get momentum.

    I will not be going today due to the venue. If I wanted to be enclosed by steel and concrete then I would get a job in a factory.

    Besides that, congratulations Nathan Jones, go Dees!

    Not like Max to be scared of having his photo taken. Glad he’s pulled up ok, thanks for the update Jane. 

    For once, losing has not crossed my mind either!

    Heading along today and very happy to be there to support Jonesy in his 250th - he deserves a lot of thanks for sticking with the club and helping turn everything around over the last few years.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • 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?
