  • Dees mids run fwd of the ball and are poor defensive runners too. Could be a shoot out.
  • Melbourne likely to be underdone. 1 match in, what, 12 weeks.
  • If I played that fantasy footy thing Gawn would be my captain this week.
  • Demons should win this and well.
  • What have Melb ever done - well they won a premiership in 1964 - then won their opening 8 games in 65 ( and then spectacularly crashed ) and thats about it - havent done anything since of note
  • Fort v Gawn. This won’t end well if the Dees mids turn up focused.
  • Gawn will have 50 hit-outs, Fort may compete around the ground but he's a mile behind in ruck craft.
  • We have no match for Gawn-->their MF will run hot.
  • Is Melbourne even good?
  • We'll probably get a typical game where Melbourne don't turn up. We win easy, Dangerfield, Selwood and Ablett will be all smiles, Rohan will get a hand-pass over the top in the last quarter and fist pump like he's won the flag (because he cares so much), and it'll be forgotten again.
  • Surely Melbourne and Carlton aren’t going to be the ones to dictate our season, things can slip away too quickly this year. I’m confident we'll hammer Melbourne.
  • Melbourne still have to prove to themselves as much as the football public how capable they are. On raw talent they're up there with anyone, but until they start doing it consistently, the question mark will (and should) remain.
  • Demons are a bull at a gate type of team with players like Oliver, Viney & Brayshaw in the middle although the latter was moved out of the middle at times last year. They’ve brought in width with Langdon & Tomlinson, yet still butcher the ball going forward and run forward of the ball and get exposed the other way. If they put it together they can blow us away, yet they’re very inconsistent and poorly coached. They’re definitely a mood team. 
  • Constable had a day out against Melbourne last year. Wouldn't mind seeing that again.
  • Don’t be surprised. Kolo down back, Blicavs into ruck, Sav up forward.
  • Tigers dump 4 premiership players after a loss. What does Scott do? Gives Harry a rest and brings in even more defenders. Bloke is just too [censored]-weak to make a statement.
  • This club under Chris Scott is a joke.
  • I think it will Sav to ruck, Blicavs to full forward so we can take advantage of his kicking and marking prowess. And Melbourne will be too surprised to counter.

    I wish this site was as considered as the views in the OP.

    I didnt shake my head at a single post.

    The other footy club supporters arent as dumb as some on here think.

    The Cats should be fairly confident this week, but they arent exactly OTT with their predictions.

    Thumbs up to them i guess.

     

    "What have Melb ever done - well they won a premiership in 1964 - then won their opening 8 games in 65 ( and then spectacularly crashed ) and thats about it - havent done anything since of note"

    That post has particular significance. The truth hurts.

    This sums us up perfectly in my opinion. I’m sure a large number of DemonLanders would agree, at least to a certain degree:

    Demons are a bull at a gate type of team with players like Oliver, Viney & Brayshaw in the middle. They’ve brought in width with Langdon & Tomlinson, yet still butcher the ball going forward and run forward of the ball and get exposed the other way.

    They're in so much denial and misery about missing out on that Panasonic Cup.

    Yes we are a moody team IMO how else can it be said. I know one thing  a couple of good wins in our next 2 matches and the mood will change for the better.  That means  3 -1  and a game in hand.   JUST SAYING.

    Cocky little turd this one.  It wasn't so long ago that Geelong were in a similar position.

    Watch how quickly this forum will be eye rolling at Carlton's flag-less quarter century should we pinch one before they do!

    As for the Cats - get your flag count into double figures, then come back to us.

    Should we really have to give a rat's toss bag about what the farmers down at Geelong think about anyone?

    I think we have a marginally better win loss record since 2000 compared to Carlton, but battling it out for least and second least sucessful team of the century is hardly something I'm going to do a jig about.

    ...it was bloody nice to beat the Blues by 100 odd points a few years back, but perhaps the Cats fans feel something similar about that fateful day down at Kardinia park Dean Bailey era.

    They really dont like Chris Scott.  Amazing to think he won a flag with them.

    I could have coached that team to a flag.

    ”team, go do what you have been doing for the last 5 years. Thanks”

    Premiership won.

    And then they did something that we haven't done for 56 years. They produced one of the great teams of the modern era.

    Rightfully dismissive of our blokes.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
