Can't believe we're actually here, feels like forever. This match is huge, if ever I'd like to see us come out and smash a team hard early it's tomorrow. I wonder if there'll be any info about how players went in the scratch match.

We have this one, despite the two absentees - and that has not really panned out as a concrete omission, yet. There is suddenly some selected pace, foot skills, mobility reeking of intent ... go boys! Hope TMac gets some time at CHB, once again.

 

Cant believe those to boys could make a mistake like that so close to an afl game.Still think we will win comfortably,ANB is a good competator but would love to have seen the excitement Pickett would bring

    It's frustrating we're going to have to wait to see Kozzi and Bennell in the same team. Just so silly.

    Oh yes, game day. It's been so long. Need a win, must win, no excuses.

     

    Problem is that could have been copied and pasted from the Carlton forum ?

    Game day :D

    Round 1 was bitterly disappointing for mine, not so much in terms of the result but by just how similar our performance was to what we regularly produced last year. 

    Excited for many reasons, but optimistic in seeing some better connection going inside 50.

    Go Dees! And go Harley!

    Gastro’s pretty contagious, isn’t it?

    If we all care to recall... Tom has 'unfinished business' with this mob. Would love to see him run amok at CHF. Pleased to see the inclusion of Jayden Hunt, courageous with a never say die attitude to boot.

    Hmm not at all confident to be honest... Unfortunately think the Blues will roll us & set the scene for another poor year for us ☹️

    I hope Harley gets through, I hope Maxy stands up and kicks a goal if required and I hope there are no injuries and we win.

    Me to looking forward to the litany of excuses on here though

    should be veeeerrryyyy nteresting

    Really upset that ANB is back

    My young nephew thinks he is a Jonah!

    Looks like we are back to the good old days of no small forward with Kozzie out and ANB as his replacement.

    Should have bought Bedford in.

    Anyway if we cant win this game with the colossal advantage Gawn has in the ruck, we are doomed and North supporters can start thinking about pick 1.

    Good luck Harley!


    I think we are doing the right thing with this side but it will take time. Looking to the future with a couple more younsters is the way to go. However they don't have a lot of experience together and I think this will show. I can see us getting done but we are the type of side that can bounce around with a few good results this year and some nasty ones. Normally I would be pulling my hair out over the result but there is some rebuilding to do and we do have some good youngsters who should get games. Lose this but beat Essenscum the following week.

     

    Just waiting at Scumbury station for the train to Spencer Street.

    Aiming for my usual counter lunch and gutful of pots before heading over to Docklands

    Funny …… I don't see any other supporters around.   Well as they say …… the early bird ….

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
