  • 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.

    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: 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?
