An interesting take on it. 

I think our guns will beat their guns . That is too say a cracking game awaits. Still think it's us by 18 but it will be a topsy turvy affair. 

West Coast wouldn't want to suffer another player going down early....that'd be a damn shame ?

Maybe though if it's Kaos v Control footy the score will be 99 to 86 ..or something lol

Yep...Eagles to miss by 'that much ' ;)

    Beat them there in 2017.  Beat them there 5 weeks ago.

    We will beat them there on Saturday.

    goal kicking and forward delivery will determine it in the end methinks.

    Midfields will make it tough and it will be who takes the chances.

    WCE probably ahead of us in raw scoring power

    AFL.com.au has picked us by 7 points.

    Should be a really interesting game. We need to win the midfield well, like last time. If we do that, we should win. If the midfield battle is even, things could get uncomfortable.

    Spot on RD. JK is a gun (a completely overused word but justified in this case IMHO) and Meth Coke have probably finished top two and not outside the eight due to him. He's under-appreciated on the East Coast IMHO. All this is a long way of saying that if they get it in the middle and can move it quickly in the JK direction - we've got real problems. I love Frosty and Oscar, but they are no match for Kennedy. Therefore we need to cut it off at the source. Brayshaw needs to have a big day IMHO. He just might be the key. If he gets it 30 times inside the square, we win. He's the closest we have to a 'kill you' player (that is a guy who every time he gets it he kills you - aka Martin, Cyril, Pendles, Nathan Buckley and Voss). 

    Please Angus . . . play the game of your life Son.

    FWIW . . . Robbie Flower was probably our last 'kill you' player.

      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?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
