Lose today and don't deserve to play finals. Best of luck to Harry Petty on debut. I think our backline looks more balanced on paper and we should see Hibberd and Smith play more natural running roles. Still think we are one outside runner and one crumber short for my preferred set up but on a dry track it shouldn't be the difference today.

Good summation. Pig needs to be running..releasing not ties up playing prison guard.

Be interested to see who actually plays where.  Today we can reboot (pi ) but will we be allowed.

Yeah the Aints ain't what they used to be...treat with contempt at your peril.

Dees will want to be 5 up at the first break.StK have NOTHING to lose...we do....and we can be quite good at that !!

Go Dees

A win, and preferably a big one, will see us secure for another week.  A loss, and it will be time to lock up the cutlery drawer.

Dees by a mile

Is it just wrong that im going today just knowing we will win? 

But good to be back at the G and its going to be a nice day weather wise. Hope to see Hogan and Petracca bounce back and find form. 

Might be !!

However,I shall soldier on manfully and expect my spirits to be uplifted by the Dees dishing out a jolly good thrashing 

And hopefully they can then go out and best St. Kilda in a game of football too.

Nervous about the outcome today .

if they beat us at our own game we are doomed 

Although id be trying to run run run if I was the saints. 

Hopefully  we stand up have some meaningful inside fifty’s and get it done

Doing Dry July in support of the wife.

Demons will most likely test my resolve. Is it against the spirit to pay for a cheat day on the very first day? 

I tried a dry month during footy once....?

Would be the biggest upset of the year if we lost. 

Wonder, just wonder, what are the umpires going to do to keep the Saints in the game - for an eventual victory, again at the MFC's expense. Just wouldn't put it past the umpires/AFL.

We are a much better team than the Saints, and our form isnt as bad as 2 losses from our last 2 games suggests. We have something to prove.

Us by 6 goals or more.

I am feeling better about today than I have all week. Don't know if that is good or bad. If we lose it will be probably our season ( statistically not though ) and the train to Belgrave is torture after a loss.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
