    When was the last time we beat the Crows twice in the same season?

    Also we have beaten them at Adelaide Oval the last two seasons.  And rolled them there in 2015 too. 

    We own those punks.

    Dees mate from work sent myself and the boss (mad Crows fan) a text after the game “we’re going to petition the AFL to play at the Adelaide Oval every week”.

    Shockingly no response...

    1998 I believe.  Or 1999.  I can't remember.  Either way it's been a while!

    I want to go to the pub... but there is a typhoon in the neck of my woods.

    Fair dinkum. She was a tough slog those last 7 minutes. But clearly tactics came into play this week. Fritsch was put behind the ball. We didn't try to go coast to coast after it started raining. Instead of 'pretty' footy, winning was our prerogative.

     She will be a tough slog going forward. But with Jack and Hibbo back soon (fingers crossed), I don't write us off against anyone.

    Shag it. Time for another can. YOU LITTLE ANZAC!

    WOW!  Lewis just said Oliver reminds him of Simon Black. 

    Huge compliment.

    Simon Black will be stoked to hear that.

    We are currently fifth on the ladder, pending the Port game tomorrow, where I'd love to see a Dogs miracle that keeps us there at the end of the round.

    I haven't been able to see the game yet, but I was checking on my phone and when we went from 30 points up to 14 points up with 10 minutes left, I completely lost all confidence.

    I'm sure there were parts of the fourth which stank and we probably made similar errors to last week, but to hold on and actually get it done, on the road, with the extreme pressure that this game put on us just to stay in the finals hunt, is immense.

    Adelaide is a good team.

    Their last two home games were wins against GWS and Geelong, and they had most of their best players back.

    They did play in the GF last year......

    I really like the way Petracca is settling into his midfield role.  He seems to have realised that he doesn’t need to tear the game apart single-handed and do the ‘highlight reel’ things to have an impact.  Keep it simple and do it well.

    Nup, this is the first time we've ever beaten them twice in the same season.

    It's only the third time we've won consecutive games against them, too (first time since 1999).

    Of course not. It's why so many people around here go fishing before it makes ground.

    I was golf clapping in the 3rd, by the end of the game i was smacking myself in the face. 

    Considering what happen last week it's shocking how close we let it get. Adelaide butchered so many chances and Eddy, McGovern missed  certain goals. We even had the weather on our side.

    One thing for sure. MFC supporters need to find a good cardiologist.  Either that or we have good cardiovascular systems

    I am enjoying it! But this is not a done deal. We are not safe in finals and we have 3 very hard games left. 

    Why is Gold Coast a very hard game?

    Kevin Bartlett gave us no chance to beat Adelaide on SEN. I hope he thinks we are a better team now and gives us a little respect. 

    Frankly, who actually cares what Bartlett thinks? I certainly do not.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
