If we get on top of their midfield, forward line and back line, we’ll win. 

Once again Ethan - a brilliant and succinct analysis. 

Where would we be without your insights.?

 

Just arrived back at The Manor and read Ethan's preview to bring me up to date.

Had a terrible week really. Purchased what I thought were very sexy and moderately priced undies for the maid and it turns out they were face masks.

Next, when I started talking up a Demons win the maid fled.

Anyway I've been driving around all arvo searching for her. Didn't find her sadly but I lifted the spirits of the local serfs by letting them see me and giving them a wave.

Now i'm cracking a reasonably priced shiraz quaffer and putting an obscenely fat steak on the barbie ( barbie as in cooking appliance that is).

I'm super confident again. We showed some very convincing signs last week ( albeit  against a [censored] Hawthorn) and reckon we'll only get better this week. 

Kozzie to kick a couple. Jones to surprise. Viney to cause serious injury. Dees by 27 !!!

Just got poured on waiting to get in. Luckily they opened the gates 5 minutes early. Was a big downpour for about 5 minutes and now just lightly raining. Think it should pass soon.

The “Before the Bounce” videos have been really good this year. 
Well played to those involved. 
 

the running of Lockhart you just do not see during a game on TV ?

Well he is tastefully and responsibly attired Jim but I'm not certain.

The rearview of the Sheila looks familiar though.

Until getting trapped in Oz I've spent most of my adult life living in time-zones west of Australia. I thought getting up at 5am in Europe to watch the football was a drag. But having to wait until after 5pm is much worse. 

Mate even having to wait till 10h today. What am I meant to do? Watch Eagles v the Pies? ?

Well is was pissing down when we arrived and now a light mist of rain. Hopefully no more rain. 
 

That’s the report from the weather man on location ?

It’s our home away from home.

Don't think we'll win this. The Lions are in the kind of form we are merely aspiring to be in right now. Will be happy with a gutsy, tight and close game (and would of course be elated with a win!). The only thing that would upset me is seeing any kind of regression and a low-effort performance.

 

Other than a good win against Port they haven't beaten much. Got thrashed by the Cats too

Club has issued vision of the heavens opening up over the ground.

Apparently, 100.2mm of rain fell at the Gold Coast Seaway to 9am Sunday morning. This was the highest daily July rain for the station since 2005.

2020. What a year. 
 


At least we should handle the wet conditions OK, we are after all from Melbourne????? what a crazy old world this Covid-19 world is...........WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

 

Go Dee's, give us all something to smile about in old Melbourne Town.???!!!

Anyone have any idea what the weather is like up on the Gold Coast today??

Brisbane is better than us. Big question about whether we can perform against a side stronger than GC/Carlton, mid-table sides.

But I'm really looking forward to it. If we play the same way we did last week, we can certainly win.

Might be wrong but I believe there has been some rain. 

Just in case everyone wanted another weather report from the ground .. the rain has stopped! 


It has stopped raining. 

Let the game begin. 

That’s the report from the weather man on location

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
