... Be pretty happy.  You know the last time we won the first six games of the season was something like 1965, right? 

 

Edit:  Or was that the first seven games?  I think that team won like eight in a row anyway.

    Be releaved that the side is finally starting to live up to its potential.

    To be honest, I won't be that surprised as we really should have beaten Richmond in at least one of our encounters in the last few years.

    Time we stop being intimidated by these sides.  Richmond are good, but they are not invincible.

    Richmond came out the favourites, super-confident and arrogant during the pre-season for a practice match against the Dees. They did not impress and went down rather embarassingly to an underprepared Demon outfit. It's going to happen again this coming weekend. This time, we're prepared, despite key injuries.

    Head down Swan street to drink a few beers and luxuriate in the afterglow of a win against the benchmark team, then home to jump on DL to post some rantings, watch the replay and read all the newspapers articles I can find.

    Mind you if we lose I’ll do pretty much the same thing except I’ll wallow in defeat rather than luxuriate in victory.

    Cue pessimistic Demonlanders writing on 'Is Goodwin the right guy' thread, that if we still make finals, we're just making up numbers, thus it's and indictment on the board for agreeing to a contract extension for Goodwin.

    I would be absolutely disgusting to be around. Richmond supporters would have nothing on what I would be dishing up.

    I’ve been as critical of Goodwin as anyone but it would be harsh to criticise after a 5-1 start to the season with the only loss coming against the premiers. Best leave that thread until the end of the season I reckon.

    ... be surprised. Looking at the recording of the Hawks game, I got a bit disheartened about or chances Saturday night.

    If MFC beat RFC we will laud Goody’s cunning ploy to appropriate and assimilate Dimma’s gameplan into the Demon playbook.

    Pop the lid off.....a bottle of beer! 

    But seriously I will also start to believe that might be something this year.

    This is a dead set critical game for us

    It might even be a “line in the sand game”

    Anyway in honour of this game ,and of course The Warrior’s 300th, I have decided to have a moment of morality 

    If we win..... I shall confess to the maid that lockdown is over and she can actually leave The Manor

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
