So nervous. 

This is the most important clash we’ve been involved in in a decade. 

God help my heart. 

no its not. the geelong loss after the siren was just as big, as was the port and stkilda loss.  all of those games cost our season

    Look after yourself mate and be right for the finals.

    I actually think I threw out my back after the geelong game... thanks for the advice. 

    Nervous as hell.

    Hope the MCC bar staff are ready for the pre game onslaught I’m about to bring.

    Completely relaxed.

    Sydney are rubbish.  If we can't beat them and beat them comfortably then we don't deserve to play finals.

    Naturally, I'll take a one point win, but I expect a 30+ point victory.

    Pretty much exactly what I was going to post

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

    The Franklin paranoia is overblown I suspect. The Swans scores in our last four meetings are 86, 85 80 and 60pts

    Having said that our top score has only been 50pts....I hope we are past those kind of scores against the Swans. 

    I predict the Dees by 34pts....

    Living vicariously through one’s offspring is a parent’s prerogative. Especially when it comes to Lego and brainwashing (I mean influencing) in regards to football. My girls favourite songs right now are ‘Happy Dog’ by Justine Clarke and ‘Grand Old Flag’. 

    Yesterday I was at a cafe with my 5 year old and he told the staff that he wants to barrack for Richmond and that I wont let him, the waiter backed me and told him that he'd better fall into line and continue the family tradition if he knows what is best for him.

    This time last week I was driving into Cradle Mountain, it was the start of the 1st qtr and reception on the radio was cutting in and out before deciding to turn it off. We checked into our room at qtr time and was blown away by the score. I promptly filled the spa and climbed in with a fat yak (and my beautiful girlfriend) to watch the rest of the game. We flew back last night and are raring to go for this afternoons game. 

    Massive game, we’re all aware what’s at stake, no excuses as we have the talent to get the job done.

    the fans know how big this is, Goody knows how big this, the players know how big this. lets hope they have the belief in themselves and the hunger and desire to play finals footy. 

    also, what a great cause that this game will support, looking forward to a great clash in which i hope, pray and want the dees to get up. 

    Come on Melbourne!!!!!!

    Edited by Tom Dyson

    Been  a long week waiting for this. Soon will be leaving for MCG  .  Just  Please please win !@!!!!!!!!  even by 1 point.....  though  would like a comfortable win for my mental health.     

    If you look at what the Pies have done this year, Rd 23 last year doesn't look nearly as bad, even the North game to some extent.  Still can't get away from the fact that we both ran out of steam and choked though.

    ...not this time.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
