    Get the win tommorow Dees then smack the living suitcases out of these, "Everything on a silver platter" Swans.

    Can't stand them.

    Think it’s 70 years since Melbourne played Tigers in a final. Maybe Bluey Truscott’s last game. 

    I would love to Play Richmond week 1

    And I see no reason why we can't be doing that.  The Eagles in Perth will be tough, but I think we can match them on the day.

    Actually it’s a bit less conceivable than I thought. West Coast are two games ahead of us, I thought they were only one. Obviously my scenario had us beating them (and therefore passing them) but they’d need to drop one of their other games as well to not still finish 2nd. Given their other games are Freo, Port and Brisbane that seems a long shot.

    Could be anyone's last game if we take the pessimistic line...

    13 will likely get us in but there are scenarios that say 14 in needed. @Supermercado has a scenario where a team misses out on 13 wins and 8th being on 14.

    It's actually fairly likely now, not just a possibility

    Hawks, Geelong, North could all easily finish on 14

    We need Geelong you lose to Hawthorn or North to lose to Adelaide

    Ladies and gentlemen, the top 4 has really opened up. We are a massive chance of a sneaky top 4.

    Obviously this is code for missing the top 8, or is it...

    Go you f’ing demons! Take your chances!!

    Now we will find out if Goodwin can really Coach. It’s all on the line

     

    I think its we find out if the 22 players that run out tomorrow can deal with expectation and want a top 4 spot desperately.

    These next 4 games are just going to be nerve racking. 

    On another note next friday night Bummers v Saints. What a rippper

    Sydney looked better tonight but they were playing an injury-riddled Collingwood who haven't beaten anyone good other than us (and we haven't beaten anyone better than North). And Sydney still only managed 18 scoring shots (Collingwood had 21).

    I'm still confident we can beat them next week.

    Anyone see the Jenkins point given a goal and cleared by score review.

    The AFL have also cleared it.

    Joke...

    Hinkley is rightfully fuming over this one.

    You can clearly see the ball spin change and direction change as soon as it hits the post...

    Watched the pies v swans match with my pies supporting partner ( loves Melb but unfortunately I can’t extend the same courtesy) had some empathy for the pies with the amount of injuries......so don’t think the swans win was that meritorious.....I remember thinking last year when we had so many injuries ( not acknowledged by the media aka the pies this year) that with a reasonably injury free list this year we will do so much better...we have so far but  the rest of the competition also improves & so it proves a point that you must take your chances when presented ......go dees for the next 4 games & beyond !!

    • 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.
