  • Thank god that Max Gawn isn’t playing otherwise it would be a blood bath but Preuss is still not a bad ruckman who is very strong.
  • Gawn is significant but our ins are better.
  • Tom Mcdonald hasnt done anything for two years. I'm sure Gardner will be nice and help him recapture that 2018 form where he kicked 7 goals in those two games against us.
  • Pruess will eat English up and we will struggle again out of the centre in my view.
  • If Petracca is drilling it out of the centre to McDonald it could be a long painful game where we get behind quickly.
  • I don’t rate melbourne at all. We should win.
  • Keath to the in form Weideman please. Not Gardner.
  • I am worried about Gardner being in the team he will not get it as easy as last week when our midfield dominated. Tom Macdonald will be sleeping easy tonight.
  • May has tightened up this year, Lever you can get a hold on, Bruce just needs to be accountable and naughts will destroy whos left.
  • Keen to see Preuss against English. Surely will dominate the taps with strength but Timmy will win in impact around the ground.
  • Melbourne's high performance manager Darren Burgess remains confident the 206cm ex-Kangaroo will be available to take on the Bulldogs, but he will be monitored ahead of Saturday's game.
  • Looking forward to Bruce dominating this week if picked, as it sounds like all that was missing for him to tear games apart was Naughton beside him.
  • May isn't slow, but Naughton has him covered for agility. Really small turning circle for a tall.
  • The ultimate battle between the league's best ''flat track bullies''.
  • I dont think Melbourne are good but I don't trust us at all.
  • Melbourne are weak as [censored]. Richmond absolutely toyed with them.
  • I like the idea of Lever on Naughton. Lever has been really poor pretty much his entire tenure at the Dees.
  • Naughton I think has both May and Lever covered. May is more suited to Bruce but Lever on Naughton is a nightmare for Melbourne.
  • Melbourne are a good developing side - they are awesome when you don't match their intensity in the middle - but the don't always appear to have much else if they aren't dominating centre square.
  • If they get it in quick to McDonald, Weideman and Fritsch, then they could have a field day. Remember McDonald kicked 4 or 5 against us one game and Fritsch took 14 marks.
  • If we bomb it, I’m confident May and Lever will counteract Naughton.
  • Surely having our best two players - both better than anyone on Melbourne's list - in cracking form will be enough to tip the balance in our favour?
  • Their midfield matches ours ok (now that Brayshaw is getting back to form) with ours batting one "good" mid deeper.
  • I don't rate Melbourne at all. Our midfield is superior to their's and we will have a field day. Sure Oliver and Petraca have done well but against who? The Bont and Macrae racked up 70 disposals against Brisbane who have a very good midfield, and as you say who is going to stop Naughton?

We are weak as [censored] because Richmond toyed with us two months ago??? Wouldn’t say they toyed with us that day but anyhoo. What did the Tigers do to them recently? 

 

They rate themselves, don’t they?

since we run a zone defense with May closer to goal and Lever next out, I dint think it is as simple as who takes who.  Bruce is a big sook.  If we keep him quiet early he will stay that way.  They bat one deeper in the midfield?  As I understand it, you only have a fixed number there at centre bounces...

anyhoo, let’s see how it pans out.  Anyone remember when we shellacked them at the Western oval to make the finals?

Yes, I do and I was there. It was a great day.


If both sets of fans were honest they'd say they have no idea which version of their respective teams will turn up today. Slightly worrying perhaps is that it's now their turn to have a season defining game.

We lost that Toigs game in the 2nd quarter. They outscored us by 24 points (0.1 to 4.1) and the final margin was 27 points.

Contrast that with the Dogs losses: 52 to the Pies, 39 to the Saints, 52 to the Blues, 41 to the Toigs and 24 to the Loins.

They're still to play the Cats and Eagles.

 

Had no idea that Whitten Oval was on Barkly street.

That's almost as good as the bloke who recently got done for 500kg of cocaine in PNG - David Cutmore.  

I’ll be more than happy to log into their forum once we win and give them a roasting!


for a team that's been similarly irrelevant for 50+ years as us, winning 1 flag out of absolutely nowhere sure does fill them with confidence.

Should be a good game anyway.

Convince  yourselves   in your dreams doggies !   We have you by the tail.

Pretty sure the team that's won 2 out of the last 3 flags and probably should have won the other one as well have toyed with a few sides in recent years including the bulldogs.

they haven't fired any sort of shot since 2016 and until they stop living on past glories they'll continue to be irrelevant.

Battle of the half back lines this game. A lot of speed and pressure. Maybe close to DH...

About 7 years ago I tried to convince the then fiancé (now wife) that we should be buying in Footscray, it’s in the up and up and we can get a bargain/make a mint in resale... she was sceptical.
I organised a few viewings for a Sat morning to convince her... got there nice and early and wanted to show her around the area and see how eclectic and diverse it was, wandered up and down Barkly st and surrounds for around an hour.. by the time we made it back to the car to head off to the first viewing she was in tears! “Don’t make me live here, I’m too pretty for this place!” 
 

I may have suggested she is ok but don’t get ahead of yourself... was a funny morning and we’ve never been back.


May will smash Naughton talk about a flat track bully.

That's what I would have thought. But have you checked the property prices in Footscray lately?

That pub has been selling high priced meals for around 17 years, killing it.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
