F I hope our boys can get the job done today.  Would be an awesome feeling heading into the last two rounds with a finals spot all stiched up and just playing for form and the best possible ladder/first round finals position.  IF we win, I think it would leave Sydney, Port, Geelong and North as the teams fighting it out and most likely to miss. 

Certainly not counting any chickens at this point though as we were more or less in this position last year and lost a very winnable game to North that essentially torpedoed our finals push.  However this morning I am viewing the footy world with optimisim that the worm has turned that through trials and tribulations of the past few years and this season we have reached a point of maturity that we have the fundemental footy stocks, resolve and composure to win these big games.

Carn the Demons bring it home - finals 2018 and beyond!!

    This is how big today is -

    If we beat Swans and the Dogs upset the Kangas...  we are in the finals.  

    UNLESS...   Geelong win their last two by approximately 180 points combined, and we lose our last two by approximately 50 points combined.

    Oh damn I just triggered my MFCSS.

    Dude, wtf?! 

    Win and we play finals!

    It is only because we are Melbourne they we aren't considering winning all three and bouncing into the finals with a shitload of momentum.

     

    I believe next week is a more important game than today. This will even be more so if we get done today.

    I hadn't done the maths on the percentage equation, but considering the respective opponents, those winning/loosing margins are pretty credible.  

    I recon if we win today though, with the confidence and beleif that will build we will win at least one, if not both of our last two games.


    I know this question gets asked a lot but I never pay attention to the answers. 

    Where is a good pub in Melbourne to have a parmy and pint before the game? Somewhere where there might be some other Melbourne supporters?

    Oh well, lets just win win win.

    8 hours to go. Gotta find something to pass the time!!!

    i am quietly confident today. 

    Our biggest game since round 23 last year. Stand up demons!!

    I'll be sanding my back deck this morning.  You could come over and do that for me if you want to pass some time.

    Hopefully it becomes an analogy for this afternoon - 'grinding the Swanies into the ground!'

    How big is your deck?

    Gee what a big 3 weeks. I have no idea what will happen today. But I hope we win and it doesn't come down to the last few minutes. 

    No injuries, hope frost contains buddy and hogan and tommy dominate up forward. 

    Come on melbourne get the job done.

    Had a dream midweek that we were down 44-1. I'm a tad nervous about how we start this game.

    I like my dream better, yours is a nightmare

    The results so far this weekend really have given us a golden opportunity to ( almost) guarantee a finals spot with a win today.

    The old Melbourne, the one we know only too well, would come out today flat as a tac, and not look like threatening for the entire game.....

    But thats the Old MFC..... Isnt it?

     Today we can show we are the real deal. Its time... 

    Go Dees.

    Forget Gawn , Oliver , Hogan, and Tom. Our most important player today is Frost.. if he holds Franklin to less than 3, we win

    Agreed.  I like the euphoria of close wins, but I'm not sure my cardiac system can handle too much more of the raised blood pressure that precedes them.

    Don’t agree, I reckon it’s based on our form over the past 19 games. We choke when playing a decent team

    Yeah.

    I guess there is hope that we win a clutch game and confidence and momentum grows from there.

    Historically that's how it happens.

    It's been an incremental build.  That's the next stage.

    • 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.
