I would imagine they would have had a short training session at the ground around late arvo.

 

So is the game at 6.10 or 7.10 (Melbourne time)?

Hopefully giants rock up at half time.

They did last time I made this trip. They killed us in the second half.

    If we bring our best we'll win. 

    They (GWS) could bring their best but can they sustain it if we're at our best? 

    Rather than matching them we need to set the standard and then keep our foot on their throats ... do that and GWS will wilt

    So really, the ball is in our court.  And the team still has a lot to prove so being off our game at this stage of the season would be unacceptable

    Having said all that I would take any sort of win!

    Just win!

    The way things are panning out, it looks as though we've beaten two bottom eight sides thus far.

    GWS are much the same, so taking advantage will be crucial as we'll have a much tougher run in the middle part of the season.

    We need to cancel out those two matches against the Doggies, with two wins against GWS.

    Let's go Demons!

    Pretty sure it was yesterday afternoon.  Max said in the video of support they sent to the AFLW side that they'd be watching in the airport.  That match was yesterday arvo.

    correct, they missed the aflw game because they had to be at the airport before game time

    Dont like it. Melbourne will have to sit around most of today twiddling their thumbs and thinking too much. Much better flying up today having  a relaxing lunch then go for a light  run later and off to the game.

    On form we should win comfortably, but GWS will be fired up at the start as it’s their last hurrah today at 0-2 and abysmal contested differential last week.

    Should be a slog and poor quality game. Just need to banks the 4 points and get back to a few games in a row at the G.

    I hope after the amount of practice we had last year, that game day routines when we travel have been if not perfected, at least ironed out.

    Either way it wont be used as an excuse if we lose as last year showed.

    Anywhere Anytime Anyone. (or something like that)

    Melbourne always play better when Hogan doesn't play. Dee's by 60 odd, T Mac to kick 4, with Jackson the surprise package kicking 3 of his own.

    I know the season is still in its infancy but gws are a bottom tier team and hence we simply must win.

    3 zero isnt enough. Big win must be forthcoming if we are serious contenders.

    Reckon we lose today :(

    It’s the default expectation of being a Melbourne supporter of the 2007-2021 era.

    That must explain our great success in 2019 and 2020!

    Hogan was actively playing for Freo! Today he plays for no one, check mate

     

    What is it with people who run with the bent logic that our win against the Saints is somewhat tarnished because Essendon beat them by a greater margin. 

    So does Sydney beating Richmond make them a lock for the flag then....

    Must also mean than because Freo defeated the Giants and we defeated Freo we automatically win today. 
     

    No other variables should be taken into account.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
