We’re  young and so sitting bout where you’d expect. Personally I think we’re tracking really nicely. Yes we lose to the best sides but we’ve won’t for much longe

We have been “Young” for 10 years

Sad how well Lynden Dunne is playing for the Filth...

    You can use all the stats and hot dogs you like to evaluate our season, but the facts of the matter are that perhaps we don't have the list good enough to finish top 8??

    THAT is the answer! 

    Bring back Lynden Dunn! FMD...

    Irrelevant considering we should have beaten Geelong and almost everything right last Friday except convert opportunities. The majority of the same group have won on Queen's Birthday and Anzac Eve, this is a cute stat and nothing more.

    Those were wins when our expectations were slightly lower. And they were both over a year ago. At this time we are more or less(will we, won’t we) at the same stage as last season. If we don’t make finals then a huge step backwards.

    Not exactly. But he is playing good footy this year, and our backline is lacking a big body...

    we all thought he was finished. 

    Wrong

    Wrong

    The club made the correct call on Dunn. His time at the Dee's was over. He's not a big loss and had Lever not done his knee we may well have rolled both Collingwood and the Power. Our time is coming

    But he did do an ACL. That is actually the reality. 

    I am not saying we made the wrong call on Dunn, but he is playing 10x better than i thought he would be...

    You are correct but it still has chuff all to do with attendances.

    I think we are at a different stage.

    Last year: new up and coming, inconsistent with a game plan unfamiliar to opposition, able to beat anyone on our day ("upset" wins) but still seen as an easy scalp by the bottom teams. 

    This year: more comfortable with our new game plan enabling us to win every game against the lower teams (and beat them well). Top teams now recognise us as a threat, have had time to study our plan and know how to counter and put pressure on us (ie we can't "upset" them).

     

    Ideally next year is: Comfortable in executing our game plan under pressure, and also aware of possible exploitations and limitations. Players have enough experience and group familiarity to shift mid game to plan b tactics.

    Don't go Sunday, but if you do eat hot dogs. Analysis 101.

    How far are we going to go with these meaningless stats?

    Melbourne is 8-0 when more than 10,000 hot dogs are consumed, but 1-4 when under 10,000 are consumed.

    The sauce to mustard differential may give us a clearer understanding

    Yes i know all that. 

    But NOBODY expected him to be playing as well as he is playing now. 

    He is not just making up the numbers. 

    Lever or no Lever our backline lacks a big body...

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
