    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: 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.
