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

    Can't stand them.

    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.

    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
