Got the feeling we are going to hand out an absolute hiding to the Hawks.    Anyone else feel it?

Not sure about a hiding, but I think the boys will get it done by around 20 points.

    This time last week, I was shifting bricks but strangely feel almost relaxed about this one (until they bounce the ball, that is).

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news but we have unfortunately been assigned the bald headed maggot.

    Let's hope that his blatant bias against Melbourne can be put aside in a Semi-Final..

    Stevic and Rosebury are the other two.

    Every single news article is about us.  Hawks flying under the radar.  They didn't finish top 4 without reason.  I'm nervous about this build up.  The gloating Hawks supporters will be unbearable if we lose this.

    Yeah I am worried too.   Most times teams who finish top 4  win at least one final.   As much as I hate Hawthorn they are a proud club. Battle of our lives tomorrow night.   Cannot believe the odds. 50/50 I would have thought

    Stratton OMearra and Ceglar out.

    Shoey Duryea Mirra in....

    I actually think Stratton is a bigger loss for them. He controls their backline.

    But no Jaeger is a big plus for us.

    The boys need to know that wounded animals fight back hard and remember the weak Pies side that kept us out of the finals last year. They still need to bring their best game to win this.

    This is a game we should win even if O'Meara was playing.

    For me it's telling that none of their 3 "ins" would get a game in our 22.

    Means Harmes either shuts down Mitchell, but if Mitchell gets a hold of him, which is totally possible, we can swing him straight to Smith.

    Stratton and O'Meara out helps us a lot. Stratton is their backline general and a decent defender, his absence will help us a lot.

    I'm glad to see no change. Back in the players and structure that are winning!

  • Quote

    No change, BOOM! Let's get it done, boys.

    I already thought we'll come away with a win here, but the extra out for the Hawks helps to solidify that belief. We'll take this by 4 goals and storm into the prelim, where we'll give it to the Eagles, again.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • 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.
