Well you can lock Hawthorn in for another finals spot. Such an easy run home.  

Geelong as usual with two gifts in the final two rounds - at home to Freo and  Gold Coast.

The AFL really love to look after the Cats and Hawks.  Sickening.

    The MFC

    Hmmmm

    I know but can't we just dream of playing in September for once instead of just assuming the absolute worst is going to happen (again)!?

    The Swans suddenly looking vulnerable. 

    And we play them in round 21...  the stakes will be huge.

    Its well overdue, a serious ravalry/hatred between Melbourne and Sydney

    Potential that has just sat here, both clubs have never really pursued it hard, maybe we were just not strong enough before. 

    Everything else between Melbourne and Sydney is dead serious

    Step up Demons. Create another Marquee game. 

    Use our name

    The obvious answer is YES.

    However the MFC has such a long tradition of failure it is very difficult to not expect the worst.

    Sad? Yes but understandable.

    I was 17 when I saw us win our Grand Final in 1964.

    I didn't think I'd reach 71 without us winning another!

    The EH Holden had just been released along with “A Hard Day’s Night”

    and some people call me impatient for some real success

    We can tell.

    Me? I was a spritely teen the last time the dees played finals. Now I'm staring down the barrel of 30 and I still hold that Chopper Carroll takedown on Fraser Gherig as my most loved footy moment.

    Same same. Was with the cheer squad in "T" section and lost my voice for quite a while after the match. Stayed at the G overnight and got home late Sunday.

    30 was a good year. They went fast after 30 though, be ready. 

    The only constant each year has been the failing of the MFC, with some different excuse!!!! :)

    You could stay inside the stadium back then or did they shunt you into the carpark?

    my dad and his mates would often end up at one of the players houses after a GF and literally go from house to house for about 5 days!

    I have us playing the Hawks (6v7) if we can snag one against Geelong (And of course beat WB/GCS/ADEL/GWS)

    Can't wait to get one back against that mullet haired Stratton [censored].

    I think we are roughly the same age. To me your not being impatient it is just the reality.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
