Surprised nobody's yet mentioned BT's little stuff up on Friday pumping up the Eagles for their big heart of the nation clash on Alice Springs against Adelaide next round...

    Dee Zephyr did on the Non MFC Games thread. Credit where credit is due. BT needs to study more doesn't he?

    Dunno. But how stupid are we as a club, playing the reigning premiers at a neutral venue?

     

    We’re one all with them at their home ground last season. They haven’t lost at the G for a few years. A neutral venue suits.

    What happened to the honourable tradition in football of taking things one week at a time?

    Well it’s only the dogs today who we’ll easily beat. Our minds are on bigger things. After this it’s  into a top 4 clash w WC.. sigh.  I miss 2018.

    Totally agree. It is all about winning games.

    Fund the $$ from elsewhere.

    We as a rule play better in Alice than at the G. Until we get more members we all need to get over this rant as it will remain at least a game a year in NT for years to come.

    Sorry I missed this reply. So like Hawthorn and Tassie or the Bulldogs at Cazaly stadium in Cairns (they won the flag in 16). For mine it makes zero difference.

    Agree Cards, good sides win anywhere

    If we’re not good enough to win in the heat of Darwin (not the Alice) and then for us to be “too sapped of energy” the next week and lose that game and then to not make finals by a game or %, well we were never winning a flag in that season. 

    This season is shot so the money we get from this game will potentially make up the forecast finals revenue we aren’t going to make that we would have budgeted for.

    • 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.
