If there's a single lesson to be learned from this round so far, it's that you should never rely on the results of other games. You have to get the job done yourself.

If the team hasn't learned that lesson after the Round 23 debacle last season it will be so deflating for the supporters.  Finals are non negotiable from here.

We will find out in the next 4 games if we have finally taken the next step.  The biggest month of footy for this club in a long, long time.    It all starts today.

Yep, just woke up, the nerves kicking in already. Time to make a statement- go dees!

Can look at the weekend's results two ways.  Scary as hell because we can still easily miss the 8, or as a massive opportunity to rise up the ladder.

Go dees!

Let’s get the job done today Dees and set up the last 3 weeks. We have a taste for it now. No fuss, no frills. Just win.

Make other teams worry about us for a change.

All the best Vanders and well done Bernie on your 100th in Red and Blue.

Perfect weather is forecast, should be a great crowd and a percentage-boosting flogging.

Exactly what I thought before the St Kilda game :(

Was thinking Hogan to kick 8.

Due for a big one.

If we are 'on' today,  this may not be unrealistic.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Objective should be to win every quarter - one quarter at a time.

Exactly. Win each quarter 6 goals.

This thread is already sounding the same as the game day thread prior to every game we should have won by ten goals but managed to loose in typical Melbourne fashion!

Having said that, am taking my 5yo to the game with the expectation that her flag waving arm will get tired from the 25+ goals we will kick and the most nervous I will get at 3/4 time will be wondering if we will win by 15 or 20 goals ??

We are a 15 goal better side on paper, their midfield is utter trash, Jarrod Witts is their captain, and we have a top 4 spot up for grabs. 

Watch us get rolled.

If they are in it at 3/4 time then they will truly believe, need to blast them in the first quarter and make them despondent and go through the motions.

It has been an incredible round.  One that should make the dopes running the AFL think twice about radical changes, such as an 18 metre goal square.

Win today and we get to roll that top eight team (Sydney next week) people carry on about.

A misnomer though, as every team in the top eight is vulnerable and, in my view, ordinary by historic standards.

It’s funny how reactionary the media are.

early every season we see high scoring free flowing games, then by about round 5 every coach ever has tightened things up defensively with the result games become tough lower scoring contests, then towards the end of the season, everything opens up again and you get ripping contests like the ones this weekend

Unfortunately thinking is not a skill they seem to have mastered @produce. 

Nor being humble and admit the coaches are working it out themselves and backing out of the changes.

Go Dees let's grab this opportunity by the short and curlies

Can’t wait for this afternoon. I will be there - Go Dees ❤️?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
