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.

    I hate this mob, seriously I do,

    All of them and the coach.

    I want to beat them so bad

    It's doing my head in.

    I wish we were playing anyone but them.

    Am I the only one, what is it about this team.

     

    I hope we completely tear them a new one on friday night.

    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!

    • 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?
