I think it’s going to be a slog the entire game and will ultimately come down to who kicks the highest score. Pies by 37.

Oh ye of so little faith!

I wish the commentators would stop banging on about how injury free we are, my MFCSS is telling me we will lose a couple of players with two minutes left.

Thats normal MFC supporter behaviour.

Yes, that would be me. Keep your mouth closed until the siren goes.

Just checked myself. More than I thought

Collingwood are missing Stephenson, DeGoey and Cox. Three players that are at least worth 7-8 goals between them on average against us.

Replace this and our back line can mostly just focus on their danger forwards in Miochek and Elliot who we can nullify. 

No Howe will allow our forwards to thrive and not worry about them dropping back and playing the loose intercept mark. We will be able to get to more contests and bring the ball to ground for our smalls to go to work. 

If we don't win this by 5+ goals I'll be surprised. 

Bumppppppp

    The biggest improvement for us today is our efficiency inside Fwd 50. The big forwards are flying and crashing packs. The small's are staying down and feasting on the loose ball and tackling pressure. The kicks coming inside 50 have been measured and to the advantage of the forwards from our mids. Outstanding effort, Go Dees! 

    Our straight kicking at goal since 1st qrt has been sublime.

    Won every quarter

    Pruess has been serviceable. His spot is Gawne replacement and has played it to a tee. Grundy is often touted as best ruckman in league but against a 3rd in line he looked average

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
