Um has anyone wondered what Buddy is going to do to us next week? Frost or Oscar will be on him and my god he may do some damage. 

I believe in Frost as a lockdown defender. He can match it physically with anyone.

    Sydney and Buddy finding form just in time for us. Buddy was moving like a busted old man last week this week back to his scary best.

    I suppose Frost has the pace to go with him to. Maybe we just need to limit the ball use down there. 

    Also did the pies score at all in that 3rd term?

    Franklin is a once in a generation player.

    And was a Dees supporter growing up.

    Man I wish pies had of won tonight. Swans and buddy get their confidence back. Makes it a lot harder for us to make the 8

    Pies will get to 14 wins with their soft draw.

    Lets hope that his kicking foot is his sore one and he has a painful week with it. But good to see he found form against the pies, lets hope its out of his system. 

    Lets hope the swans keep going and knock down the pies percentage as well.

    Can’t work out best upside for this Swan Pie outcome. Depends on whether we want top 8 or top four. 

    Someone tell me who to support?

    PS i barracked for Essendon earlier. 

    Clearly Swans winning would be best for us: then we’re we to knuckle down and win our remaining games top 2-4 beckons.

    Entirely in OUR hands, and no bloody excuses.

    Bud won’t kick 4 against us. He is playing against a terrible defence.

    I actually heard an amazing stat on SEN during the week there was something like 144 players unavailable going into this round.

    When you look at that, weve done amazingly well.

    Darcy Moore seems way too injury prone to try and recruit for his coin

    Injury prone or not, I have no idea why anyone would want to recruit him.

    True, but I'd argue we have a disproportionate number of top 10 players out (Viney, Lever, Hibberd, Melksham at a pinch).

    • PREVIEW: 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
