Cats by 25.

Selwood may break the record for free kicks today. Conditions are made for his type of head ducker.

Looking forward to Viney smashing some old cat's bodies.

This is still one of my all time favourite photos.

An unforgetable moment in Selwood's career - tried to smart Rs and got treated simply as an aside.

Ya forgot Hawkins. It's a perfect day for him to take the forward dive as if he was pushed.

When was the last time we were 4-zip? 2006??

I think they said 1995

Last time we were 4 zip was 1994!

Scott will play the keepings off game & hope we just don't start bombing it in hope

Will be too difficult in these conditions. It’ll be a territory battle today. We need to smash them in clearances and contested possessions then lock it in our forward 50.


We won our first 5 games in 1994...Let’s hope we can win today and keep the 2021 winning streak going!

Parfitt out.

That’s a big out on top of missing their other big mids. 

No Parfitt

No Dangerfield

No Cameron

No Rohan

No Higgins

they are off a 6 day break

No excuses Demons. Hammer them

Is this a strategic move?  I admit I know nothing about him, I tend to block out all things Geelong

Stop Guthrie 

Press up and hunt Duncan and Stewart getting easy touches behind the ball

And we'll have a shot

Wouldn't be, he's their best 2nd tier mid if that makes sense

Hoping Petty is the sub. This is the sort of game  where Hawkins comes out early trying to get his knee up into May's kidneys. Need to keep an eye out for it.

Also if we give away a couple of ducking frees on Selwood early, the next time he ducks just take his head off.

Sparrow's the sub today.

Conditions are perfect for footy today

No rain currently, blue skies from the south east, chill in the air...

Feels like footy more so than round 1 did that’s for sure


We are back at the G.

For those seeing it there, enjoy and be the 23rd player.

Angry, ruthless and effort for 4 quarters, put the bodies on the line and take our opportunities. 

Give us a good game Dees, build your confidence and mine.

Great opportunity for us to set our season and ladder position. 

Go Dees.

 

 

 

A win should turf Geelong out of the top 8.  Let's get it done and then belt them by 187 points at the cattery later in the year to stamp Scott's papers.

Kozzy rocking the long sleeves!

  • 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.
