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

Will be watching from the couch. Looking forward to Petty’s debut and better use going inside 50. Can we also just leave TMac as the deepest fwd all game.

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.

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?

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

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
