One week at a time, that's all we can do now. A win tonight and we continue to march towards finals. A loss and we will have to beat the good sides they are all saying we can't.

Dees by 59.

    Working tonight which will require some strategically placed bathroom breaks for the occasional score check.

    I the wait before the game, gotta find something to do to keep the anxiety/excitement at bay... go dees!


    I have no confidence at all. Scheduled a "date" tonight instead so I don't have the disappointment of watching another ''crunch match" loss. Did the same thing last Saturday night.

    Hopefully when I check the scores I am pleasantly surprised. 

     

    hogan needs to lift. for a big guy he falls to ground far too easily and stages for frees. tmac is twice the player and can kick much straighter.

    dees could win but i doubt it. crows by 42

    Logic says that we should comfortably account for a team we beat by 91 points only two months ago, but logic and reality live worlds apart for the Melbourne Football Club and its long suffering supporters.  I still haven't read last weekend's post match thread and I don't intend to, but I desperately hope that I will be inclined to read today's.  Just get it done Dees ........... one point will do!  Surely that's not too much to ask in return for my patience and loyalty.

    The poor bugger is double teamed when in the forward line however when opposition teams go forward their forwards are one on one!

    Goody needs to clear our forward line right out. One on ones against Hoges, TMac and Jeffy and/or Tracs and Clarry occasionally would be a nightmare for any defence. We just have to maximise the skills that those guys have. The problem is, we don't. Most of the time our forward 50 looks like an under 10's game.

    I doubt that line will have any bearing on the result DF.

    i was talking to someone at the club on Monday and they said being a Dees supporter is character building.

    My reply was I have all the character I can handle just bloody win.

    After that it is hard to see us winning since our last meeting they have a number of there players back from injury and we have ours out.

    In breaking news the AFL Spuds Association have given the Melbourne Football Club an award for their services to re-igniting the careers of many of their members. The Association President and previous Spud of the Year recipient Tex Walker says the award is well deserved and is looking forward to being the benefit of a similar service tonight.

    Kent Kingsley is surely a life member of this association.

    The Crows are aware we dont handle pressure, and (we) are starting to become desperate. They also owe us one for the hiding we gave them earlier in the season. If the game is close in the last qtr, i can see the MFC panic setting in again.

    An Adelaide win keeps them in with a chance of playing finals, and almost puts us out, considering our run home.

    I have no confidence that we can win tonight. 

    Crows by several goals.

    This game will be tough. A vastly different team to the one we played earlier in the year.

    Our midfield will need to look after our defence for 120 minutes, otherwise, Walker, Lynch, Jenkins and possibly Betts will get a hold of our back line. 

    Win, lose or draw, I'll continue to back em' in but this game is pretty close to being do or die.

    Let's go Dees!

    Sorry Demonlanders, I cannot see us winning tonight.

    I don't think we will get ourselves up to play 4 quarter football to beat Adelaide at home.

    Crows seem to be building with all their good players back, will have the crowd and no doubt the umpires behind them.

    We will need our biggest effort all year to beat them tonight.

    Crows by 14 points

    • 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.

    • 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?
