    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!

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.
