Clarko giving us a hell of a lot more credit than the commentators. Looks shocked

    Five goals is a margin we love to concede but I just can’t see Hawthorn getting near us.

     

    Don’t worry. We haven’t been 5 goals up at any stage this year. Against Carlton we led by 7.4.46 to 2.5.17 - that’s not 5 goals.

    I love how Clarry just wants to surge the ball forward rather than handball sideways

    Can't remember the last time we took 10 contested marks in a match let alone in a half. Amazing

    Been missing far too long.

    Monster work by Viney. And a Viney-esque finish.

    Gotta get over the Chris Sullivan line.

    List wise . . . the half time position says at least as much about where the Dorks are as is does about us. They are in a world of pain. 


    Smith and Gunston. FFS. Every. Single. Time we play this team. 

    Too easy

    Read page 6 of this thread. There are your true Demon non-supporters. Looking to write the boys off after 10 minutes. I’d hate for those blokes to have my back.

    At least Breust isn't out there today. He hates us.

    Hawks are playing a +1 down back.  We need to be patient coming inside 50 if we aren't manning him up and look for short options or go long to the square.

    Bomb or dump it in too often we will lose and they will rebound quickly through the middle.  Score a few times as a result and the game will be back on their terms.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
