I love the attitude... [censored] picks. I just want wins, if that means 9th place finish with pick 10 as apposed to a pick 3 I really don't care. We can just draft another Christian Salem rather than a toumpassĀ 

Absolutely. We need more than anything else to establish a cultureĀ of winning.

We have had 55 years of not winning. Done that.

I would love it if we win enough game toĀ make 9th.

I look forward to the posts on DL bemoaning the crows and WC losses.Ā 

Look at our last effort to bottom out. Netted us money bags, trenners and the toump (sounds like a bad SA breakfast radio slot). All gone.

Win. Win. Win. i for one have watched enough bloody losses by my team.

    Not sure if many follow the NHL around here, but here is an optimistic story for every Demonlander.

    The St. Louis Blues were dead last in the NHL on January 3rd this year (that's 31 teams).Ā This was around the halfway mark of the season. They then went on a huge run, made it into the playoffsĀ and are now one game away from winning the Stanley Cup (series lead 3-2).

    Maybe we shouldn't give up just yet?

    Also [censored] the Bruins

    Did Lever get through todays training session??


    Man it is exciting having May and Lever in the 18.Ā 

    JKH bit stiff to miss out but he did butcher the ball. Hannan was more deserving of the chop but stays in for positional need and as he is a better player

    INT: Spargo - HibberdĀ  -Stretch - Preuss - Weed - ANB - Garlett - Wagner

    My guess: Hibberd, Weed, Garlett, ANB

    out Wagner, Spargo, Stretch, WagnerĀ 

    Contrary to popular opinion I don't agree with everything this FD does, I'm struggling to justify the Lever selection.Ā  If he doesn't get seriously re-injured then I guess they're vindicated.

    I like the ins. Would be happy to see Hore, Salem and may or lever back. Not sure if we should play both lever and may due to match conditioning.Ā 

    Im just happy that we no longer have to hear about Jack watts and his debut game and hear the pies people say it's our grand final.Ā 

    Ā 

    Ā 

    I know that teams rarely line up as selected but I do like Salem and Baker on the wings.Ā  Both have nice kicks, have composure and aim at targets rather random bombs.Ā 

    And add Fristch as the attacking defender and we should see a marked improvement in delivery i50 from all three.

    But, but ... all the experts on here told me he was going to Collingwood, for certain.

    Agree 100%. I hated the tanking year then and still do. That Richmond game Is in my top 3 of the worst games I have witnessed. Win as many as possible and worry about the rest in September.Ā

    Have you seen the video of Lever's rehab in the USA?

    It made me cringe when I was watching the amount of force and twisting and turning he was putting on his knee - and that was in January!

    Not sure if the link works but that's great that the boys will be leading melbourne out. I did think it was something the club should do, it's only a small think but it could give the boys just a little lift. I thought it could be done at a home game, not sure why but queens birthday is pretty special though.Ā

    Just down at Rye for the weekend and every second car in a very busy car park at woolies has demons member 2019 stickers on the back. Donā€™t think we we have many at the game come Monday ?

    PS no snow here so not sure what weā€™re all going to do for the weekend? Drink?

    Final bench for mine would be Hibberd, Weideman, Garlett and Spargo.Ā 

    In: Lever, May, Hore, Salem

    Out: Kennedy-Harris, O.McDonald, Stretch, J.Wagner

    Goody may go with Preuss instead of Spargo, but I donā€™t think so.

    Bingo!Ā

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.Ā

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sundayā€™s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this yearā€™s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last seasonā€™s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourneā€™s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?
