Hurley and Francis will cover McDonald and Weideman easily.

The rest of our forward line isn't much chop so they won't be too concerned.

If these guys don't take Francis to the cleaners, they shouldn't be in the team. He is fragile and has terrible concentration. 

 

We got this

    I have to say that I'm concerned about us running through the first banner in history with negative messages on it.

    perhaps if the banner said you've been playing like a bunch of schoolboys, it might have an effect - assuming they can read

    Sitting in Sydney Airport... waiting for my flight home to North Queensland.... it’s a Friday night - really didn’t put 2 and 2 together- who’da think we’d be playing on a Friday..... never even thought it was an option ?

    We’ve lost our past 5 matches now (Prelim, JLT 1+2, Round 1+2). That’s a bad form slump. We need to turn that around tonight or our season will quickly slip away as we lose touch with the top 4/8. 

    I feel sick heading to the ground at the moment. I have no confidence we can get the job done and am confused how such a talented list can perform so poorly.

    FIRE UP DEMONS FFS!!!

    well we beat Collingwood in a practice match

    Ive been pretty reserved so far in a awful start to the year, but its time to tip the magazine racks if we dont get it done tonight.

    No "we have underdone players"
    No "Its at Geelong"
    No "It's wet and horrible for footy"

    Nothing short of a win Dee's.


    Late change for Essendon with David Myers out and Jordan Ridley in.

    Not that it will make a difference to the result, but I'll be watching this bubbling with anger. These Herald-Sun [censored] have decided to take a swing at our club and it makes my blood boil.

    I hope our players are in a similar mood.

    Gloomy place demonland these days.

    About tonight.  I can imagine what both coaches did all week.

    Essendon - Looked at the tape against Geelong and know we bomb it to 20m  9/10 times.  They’ll have their defensive tactics sorted and have 3 defenders dropping back, and the others spreading to get outside leaving plenty of Melbourne players free (as we never take the best options)

    Melbourne - Looked at the tape against Geelong and know we bombed long 9/10 times despite plenty of free players in our forward 50.  Directed to always take the free option.

    If we win contested possession and clearance (expected) and do what Goody is asking and take free options heading inside 50 we’ll win easily.

    If Essendon lose contested possession (expected) they need to pressure our mids so we bomb.  They are a good chance if that happens.

    Hopefully tonight is the start of a turnaround.

     

    Fair assumptions, fair calls.

    Yep, the application of a little muscle should take care of their backmen. We must create space and avenues for the smalls, up forward. Bombing must be 'booed' by our fans to get the message through. It must start with the cheer squad up the 2 quarters deep forward.

    "Playing like a bunch of schoolboys" isn't in the media at the moment. 

    If it was "priest caught playing with a bunch of schoolboys", i'm sure it would be top of Melbournes banner list.

    Less grunt on inside, more run on outside

    Let's hope they're focused tonight....

    And not on the banner !!!

    In the words of the great Dennis Denuto;  

     

    “I’m s|-|ittin’ myself”

     

    Go dee’s. Prove us all wrong tonight please.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
