Yep. This is where we see where the improvement has got too...

With more than a nod to the great Chuck Berry

Somebody help me get out of August.

Just help me get to final’s town.

And I woke up high over AFL headquarters.

On a jet to the promised land.

Swing low chariot come down easy.

Cut your engines and cool your wings.

And let me make it to the telephone.

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin’.

And say the poor ‘d’ boy is on the line.

Waiting for the dees to come home...

    Jekyll and Hyde, rather fitting for Melbourne. 

    Dees by 64. 

    Oliver with 37 touches and 2 goals.

    A good test of the learnings from the Collingwood game from last round 2017.

    Are we all talk?

    If we lose by 20? Yes.

    Not sure that the club is 'all talk' - they speak about the aspirations... rather than the entitlement.

    Shame the Crows, Lions and Port didn’t get up yesterday (especially as they were all in it at one stage)! It would have been nice to see the Giants, Pies and Eagles all go down! ?

    @DaisyDeeciple  - is there somewhere I can watch in the morning in your adopted city? Which I won't name, lest I derail this thread with my humble-brag.

    Tbh I am packin my dacks about this game. 

    I really really want to win and in the process shut up all who crap on about us no beating anyone significant and failing on the big stage. 

    The time has come Melbourne.

    Just got up with the small people, playing Lego to pass the time (is it weird that I enjoy the Lego more than them?), can’t stop thinking about the game, going slightly ???

    No. This is completely normal. My kids are still on Duplo - can’t wait till they’re big and dexterous enough for real lego!

    Hehe, I found a box of LEGO that I kept from the 80s and unleashed that on the pests... I mean children the other day. Then I jumped on eBay and bought up a few vintage sets that I always wanted as a kid and never had! Did I take it too far good doctor Dee?!

    • 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.
