Almost forgotten the meaning of gameday .. I reckon if we actually display the speed and toughness evident in the selection, we will cr@p it in.

    We will lose if we score the first 8 goals of the game.

    It probably won't be far off. Hawkins to kick 5 straight, Fritta to kick 1.7.

    As is almost always the case it'll be about which Melbourne decides to turn up. 

    Yep and that’s why I start drinking bundy select vat now. 
     

    It’s much easier watching the dees play with a few beverages prior to and during the game. ?

    Cheers to everyone ?

    What a lovely day in the Ranges, took the little lads out for some bike park/playground fun. Getting pumped for the game, come on here to check game day..... ppppfffttt who am I kidding I think we’ll struggle. Not enough cohesion with the season/players selection to date.

    Dees, by 32 points. New-look forward line very impressive. Vanders and Tracc give the Catty Puts the nervous Nellies. Danger off the field for medical reasons. Carna Dees.

    One thing that will really annoy today, if Hibberd keeps kicking his long bombs to no one that seem to hang in the air forever, allowing the defenders to zone off.  Has he lowered his eyes ever ?

    Not just Hibberd but we can't afford to bomb the ball at all...it plays into the Cats biggest strength...but spread their defence and they are in real trouble.

    I hope we deploy melk as a lock down forward again, I reckon one of their big strengths has been stewards intercepting or at a minimum interrupting forward movement. I'd get melk to take him deep and away from contests as much as possible, without Taylor I think this is an area we could exploit

    Following on from the above point. Stewart is key to their attack from defence, if it's not Melk then it has to be AVB. We cut Stewart out and we're a long way to winning this game.

    I dunno, maybe the year he got All Australian?

    Nice to see all the 'supporters' up nice and early, lovely day to be so [censored] miserable

    Just watch the game, then we can have multiple pages of post game angst, no matter the result

    I need to get me some of those rose coloured glasses McQueen. 

    It makes everything the demons do on and off field so much better ?.

    I am going to, get ready to watch the game at local pub

    A Melb win, looking forward to seeing AVB and Hannan, black, sad Nev is not out there, form dropped a bit

    Nobody will die if we lose, it is only footy

    I've tipped us. 

    On paper they look very good, but I think if Gawn can get on top we should be able to control the game. 

    My biggest worry is who is going to kick goals? Would love Tmac to kick a few, he needs some confidence badly

    It’s a bizarre season and I reckon points on the board early is going to be more important than ever. 
     And ..... as one A Clarkson said , “ Geelong aren’t that good “ !!!!!!

    Trouble is, we aren’t that good either.

    I reckon we should keep bombing it into the 50, eventually the players will click.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
