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.

Inside 50’s:

Cats - 13

Melb - 64

    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.

    As long as we are there in spirit is important.

    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

    Nice chicken parma, few schooners of summer able, hopefully watch an entertaining game 

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
