Same, and I totally agree!

The team has been building to this moment, and I think the message will be sent from the very first second. The cats won't know what hit them, but they'll have plenty of time to think about it on the plane home!

Is that what PT call the trains to Geebung. Hopefully the passengers wish it was a plane to get home even quicker after Melbourne give then a good beating.

    I've had such an insane work week I haven't stopped to really think about the game... until the last few hours. And now it's hitting me and I'm nervous as hell! 

    I agree with Murphy, I think this game will be a smashing one way or another. I hope it is us smashing them! 

    I'm feeling quite comfortable about the result. These guys are on a mission for payback for earlier this season. My win/loss feelings have been quite accurate this year. Enjoy the night with the majority of the crowd supporting the dees.

    Love to wipe the smirk of that [censored] Chris Scott’s face.

    A close friend is related to him and I have had to shut my mouth with her this week. Win tomorrow and I'm sure I will forget myself. She's cool - I hope.

    " Blow them away"  was Bob's final summary of what the MFC will do tomorrow night  and Whately reluctingly agreed that the game would be over well before the final siren.

    Just realized Razor Ray is umpiring, hope the boys keep their discipline with this clown umpiring.

     

    Another soft ride for Angus coming up?

    What I'm looking forward to is ... who is our new finals hero? Or heroes. Who will rise to the occasion? Who will make a name for themselves as a "finals performer"? Tracc? J Smith? Nev? Jones? Hoping for a bit of a smokey.

    Harmes and my favourite Trac.

    I'm sure Razor Ray will look after his new "bestie" Angus Brayshaw.

    Smart and sensible changes. 

    It's a strong side and one that can put the Cats to sleep for 2018 if we choose to. 

    Can't wait for tomorrow night!

    Agree. Yeah, I haven't been a fan generally, but he's done a couple of nice things here and there, but the reality is that Hannan is more likely to hit the scoreboard. JKH has some work to do, but can have a solid crack at it in 2019, especially with a few more games this year.

    Perfect changes, LETS GET IT ON!

    Absolutely. There's a lot of hype right now (probably a scary amount), but the reality is that the stage is set. We've got everything we need. The boys believe. We believe.

    This feels right!!!

    Really disappointed for JKH

    But a solid team at the pointy end of the season 

    I agree GYM, but I reckon that's our best available team. Yeah, it's a very tough call on JKH, but that's what happens when you have a list that runs deeper than what we have become used to at Melbourne.  On a positive note for Jay, I reckon he has earned himself a new contract beyond 2018, where that seemed unlikely a couple of months ago.  Good on him!

    • 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.
