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.

    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.

    Draw.

    Dees by 38 goals (points...lol) V.confident!

    T Mac 7 goals... ?

    Clarry 40+ handballs (poss...?)

    Vandenberg too play... ?

    Gawn... Unstoppable... ?

    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

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
