I am touring in a beast of uncertain origin named Maui 

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.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
