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

    A Channel 7 directive apparently.

    Understandable given they were power club in the 70s and early 80s....


    Finished work and on my way to the g. I'm not nervous yet but its weird to think im going to watch my team play finals footy. 

    I got asked if could do a double shift tonight and said no way im off to the footy finals.

    I  just hope our young players don't play like the hawks youngsters last night. They were like deer in headlights

    10 mins to go. Beat traffic (hopefully). Get home and kiss the little one. Neck as many bourbons as possible. Get on train. Become nervous wreck.

    In WA and was going to watch at the paddo with western dees but feel too nervous . Will sit at home with a shandy or two. Lose and will mope around , win wish I had watched at pub but be glad I didn’t as I would be a wreck on Saturday!

     


    Almost time for my early exit.  It's been a very unproductive afternoon.  Heading in from Geelong on the train with my 16 year old son.  Been waiting for this moment for 12 long years.  

    Hopefully the players are feeling much calmer than I am.  Go Dees!!!

    Sounds like dees supports may need their own AA branch!

    About to arrive at the Duke for a few calming pre-game Boags. 

    Coopers pale long neck at ponyfish island , such a melbourne thing to do . 

    Was frightened to see the speed of the game last night , have we produced anything this season that resembles that ? Probably not 

    we are cleaner and trying for bigger things hopefully we can play our game tonight. 

    Cmon demons

    Well I wasn’t about to stand there and scull it out of a brown paper bag in front of everyone.

    At 10pm tonight it would have been a different story.

    • 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.
