Thats too bad... could have got you in at Berkeley River Lodge..... I'd have had to vouch for you though ;)

Anyone know if the carpark at the G is open today? 

 

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.

    Might be !!

    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.

    • Thanks 1

    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.

    until proven otherwise......that's EXACTLY our form...what is....IS

    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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
