    There's been loads of advice all week about what the Dees should, and should not do to win these games, but I reckon Whispering Jack hit the nail on the head in his post above, where he said it's got a great deal to do with "self-belief and ability to win against the odds".  We unquestionably have the team, the talent and the game to win if we bring that mind-set today.  The stakes are high.  Now is the time to prove it!  I think we will.

     

    I’m trying to be optimistic here. I am hoping we find that fight that I know is there somewhere and the leaders on the field do their job for a change.

    Dees by 14 points.

    Go Dees

    I honestly don’t know which way this one will go. It would be typical Melbourne to roll over and leave it all down to the final round, but I can’t shake the feeling we just might get the job done today.

    Hope can drive a man insane? Indeed it can, Morgan.

    Imagine if we didn’t hardly lay a tackle in the first 15mins.....

    Just cant see it happening. The only thing we have to go by is our formline...

    We havent beaten a single (current) top 8 side all year. The media have been giving us a hiding about that fact for 2 weeks, but MFC are not the kind of team to get angry and play that way. We are too busy "Making connections", and "showing care" ffs i hate that wanky corporate garbage.........

    If ever a club needed its Line-In-The-Sand game, its MFC, today. Sadly, while other teams draws lines, we make sandcastles.

    Eagles by plenty.

    We will still play finals*

    I just can’t see us winning this. I hope I’m  wrong but I’m going in with minimal expectations to avoid disappointment.

    Would love a repeat of last yearbut not that close. Have to start well and not miss our shots.

    Maxy hopefully dominates the ruck and gives our midfield first use

     

    How desperate will WCE be? If they win they lock in #2 on ladder. If they lose they are very unlikely to not be #2 anyway.   I expect they will be keen to lock it in and rest players against Brisbane.

    They have their 3 best players out, we should win.

    Definitely 3 of their top 5.   I'd have Yeo and McGovern up there in their top 5.

    But we have Viney, Lever and Hogan out so its basically even.

    I thaught our win against Adelaide was extremley good. Lets see if we can repeat the dose over in Perth. Midfield must win. I am nervous.

    Last year it was Viney & TMac who dragged us over the line!

    TMac is playing, who wants to step up and do what Viney did last year. It’s an opportunity for one of our young guns to make a mark!

    We only want the following:

    - Win, any margin is enough!

    - Kick straight!

    - Everyone run both ways!

    - Defenders remember where your meant to play (in the backline!)!

    - Someone guard the goalsquare 

    - Lower eyes going into forward line!

    - Kick straight, Kick straight, kick straight!!!!!   

    - Go Demons...........

    Coll, GWS etc are ruined by injuries yet they keep winning mostly, I hate injuries for an excuse when other clubs find a way.

    By the way, whats your joke of the day Trac, I need a laugh.

    West Coast by 24 points, Dees gallant in defeat with Goodwin talking along about the narrative in the press conference. While the football world hopes we just miss out again after a loss next week. 


    If we are in the game at half time I’ll be surprised, I expect to be 6 goals down at the half and roll belly up for the second half.

    No jokes today, MS.    Its serious business.

    Just think,  in  7 hours from now we could be booked into the finals.. and with a game spare.  Just 7 hours away from hopefully something special happening.  The monkey off our back, finally.

    And we will have beaten the 2nd placed team on their home turf.   No more of this "Who have they beaten" crap.

    Lets do this.    ?

    Just hope that between Kent, Melk and Brayshaw that our inside 50’s entries improve markedly today, and that without Hogan clogging up the fwd line, Tmac and Weed get a good run at it for a bag of 4 each!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
