Meetings are running soooo late... it’s a disaster. Might need to fake an illness so I can get out of here.

    This game will showcase both Goodwin's coaching prowess, and Melbourne leadership capabilities.

    Pushed around by the Cats for more than a decade; we've lost pivotal games we should win; and we appear to struggle when applying plan B.

    We can either play to Geelong's game, slow it down and hope for the best.

    Or, we can back ourselves in, play aggressive and attacking, and trust all 22 players to do what's required.

    This game will either be a turning point and propel us into finals, or it will hit us hard like a freight train and signal a spiral. This is an absolute MUST win.

    Absolutely on both counts.

    Goody must resist the temptation of having our 2 best (of those who are fit) mid fielders in Clarry &  Brayshaw play in any sort of run with / tagging role if we are to win this .  as we should.

    Provided Goody doesn't tagg as per the above and the umps don't murder us for much more than about 2 quarters....

    Demons by 35 Points.

    Well I done my pregame warmup.

    I have had 2 wines and 8 bundy rums and still counting. 

    I have always said that an alcohol voucher should be included in the MFC membership pack. 

    Make us proud Dees.

    The biggest break we got so far for this game is the weather. Dry and mostly calm. If we had most of all of this weeks weather of rain and wind we would have no hope down there.

     

    Ok so I can't go tonight but can someone tell me if they just rocked up at the gate and bought a ticket? Or do they not allow that and you are forced to buy a reserved seat at a ridiculous price.

    Carparks already full. Great conditions. Nice and calm and not too dewy either.

    Can get GA at the gate as it won't be a sellout.  Need a bank loan to afford any other tickets for Kardinia Park.

    It would be massive if we win this. Can’t see it happen but we better give a good hard showing

    Suns just beat the Swans, no excuses tonight. We are either good enough and want it more or we’re not.

    I can.  Feeling very confident about this one.

    The ground size suits our style, and Geelong are mediocre.

    Don't feel confident about this one - or even the next few for that matter: Lever, Viney, Hibberd out, a step too far.

    I'm scared to watch.  Such a huge game.

    (I've copied that in notepad to use for the next 5 games too.)

    Treat it like a Final Demons. Be prepared to hurt for victory. 

    Every Player must be prepared...

    the most nervous i've been for a game this year.. totally do-able, but also, we could fall apart. COME ON DEES!!!!!!!

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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.
