I can't wait until Friday! All over social media not only cat supporters but plenty non demons supporters are saying the cats will win conftorbaly, that we are soft, pretenders, weak mentally etc etc. But come Friday, although I am very nervous, our boys the demons will show everyone in a big Friday night game, that we are ferocious, strong, elegant, swift and future premiers.

    Yep I prefer being underdogs- Geelong are clutching on times past - I hope the umpires call what they see on the day, go Dees!!!

    If you only read the heading then you would think he is a Richard head, but if you read the article...

     

    GEELONG'S All Australian defender Tom Stewart expects many of Melbourne's September debutants to be extremely nervous as they lace up for their first taste of finals.

    But that's not an attempt at gamesmanship leading up to Friday night's elimination final, instead just a frank assessment of where he sat this time last year in the same position.

    "Last year I put on a brave face and said I was embracing it and saying I wasn't nervous when I was absolutely packing my dacks," Stewart said.

    I was about to say that this bloke would know, given his efforts in September last year.  But he is obviously aware of his own performance!  Well played Tom.

    I think what he said on the AFL site was pretty accurate but wasn't smart on his end. That could be used as motivation.

    To be honest, and maybe this is my MFCSS kicking in, this week feels like it is leading up to the mother of all anti climaxes. The same peanuts who will carry on like pork chops if we lose on Friday are now pumping us up. This will feed into their lazy narrative of Melbourne being 'soft' and they are doing the groundwork now to raise expectations.

    Well, it stands to reason. I mean, every person in the universe thinks, feels, reacts, exactly the same as Tom Stewart. Don't they??

    The only thing I dislike about the cats is the Selwood ducking thing that we don’t see that often now .

    yeah they are cocky and have some show pony types and feel free to dislike , I admire their winning culture. 

    Bartells work in raising awareness around family issues and sharing his story has been first class as is his footy knowledge during his match call.

    I never liked bartel as a player, probably because of all the smashings, my partner goes for hawthorn so she naturally hated him, but even she said he's best special comments, actual insight into why a team is dominating or what it needs to do to get back into it. Instead of the usual "they need the next goal" or "they need to be harder at the ball". And for all the 300 game and star power chanel 7 employ in these positions Daisy's a close second, she often comes up with a bit more inside knowledge on why a teams setting up the way it is.

    Agree. Surprisingly good. ActualIy adds something to the understanding of the game - unfortunately rare for so called special comments people.

    I think Daisy is number 1 though.

    But great ammunition for our players for the game on Friday. 

    Dees’ finals debutants will be ‘packing their dacks’.

    If you actually read the article which clearly you didn't he wasnt taking a stab. 

    Stewart was simply reflecting on HIS first final only 12 months ago a said he was "packing his dacks " and reckons that the finals debutants will feel the same.

    The headline is insulting. Maybe our players are a bit tougher than he thinks.

    Its an honest assessment of how HE felt, and a guess at how he reckons our boys feel.

    Absolutely nothing wrong with what he said TBH.

    Only problem is that it will be the Cats who are [censored] themselves about facing us on Friday. They know we can beat them, and we know we can beat them.

    Cant wait for Friday.

    Agree, that’s why I thought the topic was a bit over the top, if you only read the article heading you would have thought he was having a go at us, it was his opinion, but not sure Viney will be krapping in his daks!

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
