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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      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? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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.
