Its not even 10am and I feel like i'm going to vomit. Imagine how the players feel!!! 

You're not the only one...a kid two seats in front of me on the SkyBus had a power-vom into a plastic bag just as we were leaving the airport. I'm not a religious man but I was praying that the bag didn't have any holes in it...

    I have been struck down with swine flu (apparently that’s still a thing) so won’t be able to attend my planned event this evening. On the flip side I didn’t have to spend 8 hours pretending to work today.

    Hopefully Melbourne’s own swine pig hibberd plays a blinder tonight and we smash them off the park. Not sure my tv will survive another close loss to Geelong, especially if I have to look at Tom Hawkin’s [censored]-eating grin too many times.

    I'm just getting into the website recently, and it's an enjoyable informed read.

    Beat my best friend swimming today. Made a bet though, if we win he will buy me a string bikini and I’ll wear it our next swim! (Gulp!)

    I quite like the Roar! I know it's an obvious thing to say, but it's different haha

    Great read, thanks for sharing :-)

    I'm LOVING all this press we're getting. It's nice to be relevant again!

    Sounds like he wins if we win. Go Dees!

    Sounds like you will wear it anyway. We will win just to make sure of it.

    Not sure about everyone else, but I'm really relaxed about this. No idea how I will be feeling between 7.50 and 10.30.

    Can you please post this again for a bit of fun but in the rational alternative Game Day thread?

    Me every day this week so far: Let's just enjoy it and see how it goes.

    Me today: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IF WE DON'T WIN THE WORLD WILL END

    Sums me up perfectly too!!


    I note a number of posters are feeling nervous about the game. I'm not concerned at all - we'll win.

    I am however, very nervous about the large crowd and subsequent queues to get booze. The notion of the dees winning and me being unwillingly sober is very uncomfortable indeed.

    A hip flask as emergency supply Bbo? 

    I am more concerned about getting away after the game.

    Same!!! Our servers have been down until 10 minutes ago. I was thinking I could do a sneaky and get out early and go drink to calm my nerves. Back on now. Absolute balls!

    Absolute balls for sure! Had it have happened now that might have been enough to get out of here!

    I'm feeling much the same, on both counts!

    The big game getaway is the worst, but it will be infinitely more bearable after our win!!

    Off work today looking after sick kids. Honestly, I think I’d prefer to have gone in. The day is passing soul crushingly slow.

    You have my sympathy Nasher. Baby sitting the GD's was on tonight but I have a leave pass. The down side is I now have zero credits in the system.

    Just got to melb, grab something to eat, what time would be safe to get to the game and get in with a bit of time to spare? Is there any pre game stuff?


    I’m that nervous I’m giving myself an ulcer.

    I can’t even listen to SEN or read the sports section of the papers anymore coz I’ve had enough of all the talk.

    Bloody long two weeks.

    Being a Friday night, chances are Carlton is one of the teams in the curtain raiser.

    Really liked how much phyaical pressure the team has put on the opposition the last few weeks in particular.  We come out like that from the first bounce tonight and it will go a long way to winning the game.

    GIVE THEM HELL DEMONS

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
