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. 

Me to DW cant wait to see Jonesy chaired off as winner and BOG

    Geez, looking at the Doggies team again... by far the worst team we have come up against this season (on paper).

    Amazing that they won the flag before last.

    From 7th though, I know it’s hard to fluke a flag but geez only needed 4 good games, but they had to travel twice so was a great effort but no way were they the best team that year, I think they miss picken the most he is there heart and soul type like viney is for us

    Im at the nursing home this arvo. Luckily we have big screen TV's in both lounge rooms, and enough footy supporters amongst the residents to "demand" the game is on.

    Anyone who complains will be plonked in a wheelchair and taken to their room for some "quiet time".

    I will also be hiding the remote control to foil any bids to ruin my day. Most cant walk anyway, so as long as no visitor makes trouble, it should all be ok. If not, nurse grumpy will complain of Gastro symptoms and hide in the loo where i can live stream radio. I never get disturbed there as im the only male nurse. All good !!

     

    GO DEES !!!

    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!

    Steel and Concrete? You are limiting the venues you can attend Emerald.  Brunswick Oval probably gets across the line for you!?


    is it wrong to go to a game now thinking its in the bag? In the past u would go to a game not knowing which Melbourne would show up.  

    Im a little nervous because if its the wrong result today id be so shattered for jones. 

    It would be great to see us just get off to a flyer like last week, my wish for today is no injuries a good win and the game be over by 3/4 time so we can enjoy the final term and celebrate jonsey

    The one major thing in our favour today is the ruck.  Gawn should feast on the carcass of Tom Boyd all day long and give us first use.

    Their forward line has also been a major issue and our backline couldn't be in better form.  All signs point to a big win, but at the same time we aren't going to win every game by a big margin.  I'd take a very solid 6 goal win with no injuries every day of the week.

    Working today so miss it. But will be watching on my ipad. Last game of the year I'll miss due to work. 

    Playing footy today, I hope after I check my phone after the game today theres a big W next to our name..

    Go Dees.

    Not too sure there is concrete in the Docklands stadium roof.... the G is concrete and steel as well. 

    I’m on the V-line in from Woodend and can’t wait!!! There was a 6yr old dogs fan on the platform, I nearly pushed him over and poked him in the eye.

    Bad omens already have interrupted my normal pre match routine. Arrive at train station to find that replacement buses have been organised. Now stuck on a bus in traffic. MFCSS is ruining my life. 

    Me too. Went to get on at Chelt and theres some [censored] going on at Moorabbin so I've had to bolt down to Sandy and now I'm really pushing [censored] uphill to get there on time

    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.

    Laughable excuse.

    If it was about price then I'd understand. Doesn't sound it. Have you ever been to a stadium before?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
