Marvel is free on the Sunday but MCG has Essendon v Carlton. 

Melbourne North is much more interesting than those nonentities

So they’ll still cop a monumental thumping, only now they won’t have as far to travel to lick their wounds.

Would much rather play them at the G than that [censored] hole Launceston.   Looking forward to this game turning into a big percentage and confidence booster for the team.  Would really love to stick it up North.

Marvel would be perfect.  We play great there and finally a dry deck for us to kick a mammoth score. 

I said in another thread that I thought Melbourne supporters would be humble if we went on a Richmond-like run. Well, I was probably a bit naive looking at the arrogance of a few of these posts.

FFS, after where we've been, you'd think we'd always respect every opposition we play. Apparently not.

I wouldn’t risk going to Tassie lest another one or even two Covid cases (!) sees you stuck there. Imagine that. The horror...THE HORROR.

North have lost most games this season by ~50+ points.  If we are not expecting to and planning to demolish them, we are effectively loosing ground on %to every other team in the comp.   Bulldogs are stitting above us on the ladder at the moment largely because of their dismemberment of North.  Want to see us get ruthless in how we go about putting away the rubbish teams of the comp.

Personally, I've sat through the receiving end of enough thrashings over the years, that I'm going to enjoy whatever dominance we can achieve while it lasts.  That 100+ point win we had over Carlton a few years back was very enjoyable.

I was fearing that might occur and we get shafted again and lose momentum. 
Last years stuff up whilst not any excuse, didn’t help the cause with having to squeeze games in to a tighter time frame.   

While I agree we need to be prepared to win anywhere, I'm also not at the stage where I'm happy to give up any kind of advantage.

Playing North in Melbourne instead of Tassie is a win for us. They play well in Launceston.

I do feel bad for our Tassie supporters, though.

I don’t care where we play them as long as the game goes ahead. The last thing we need is yet another interruption to our season and having to cram this game in before finals. 
 

Also lol at the arrogance here. Nothing would be more Melbourne than beating Richmond tonight and then losing to Norf next week.

If so then it is unacceptable that our home game against them is at Marvel. Surely they can't play 2 home games against us in a year. If so then next year we should play them twice at the G.

More likely they switch one of their games later in the year to Tasmania. We only play them once this year unfortunately. 


If BB plays well for Casey today and the game is in Melbourne, you would think he plays.

But then again who knows?

Just took a big pack mark and goaled from about 35.

Chest mark same spot another goal.

Pettraca will snooze off.

I think we owe Norf a few years of arrogance as pay back for their horrid 16 game win streak over us. And for the years of Boomer Harvey nightmares. :laugh:

I can only speak for myself when I stress that there was not even a skerrick of malice in my comment. It was meant to be humorous. Granted, it wasn’t that funny; pretty ordinary in fact. Nonetheless, it was not said with ill will. I actually really like North and sincerely hope their fortunes change soon. I also like Tasmania. I need to say this since I may or may not have likened Tassie to being with Colonel Kurtz in the death-ridden jungles of Cambodia, and I wouldn’t want anyone to take it the wrong way. ?

I’m a Dees fan, FFS. “Humble” is my middle name.

Game will be played in Hobart folks unless this outbreak really starts spreading.  Checked the tas-gov covid site and it’s only from certain hotspots not all of Perth. Friends have a Perth friend arrive today and did not need to isolate.

Yep. It’s going to blow. The guy walked around for 5 days not realizing he was contagious ?

I am waiting to pay back so many opposition supporters for years of humiliation and torment. 
In 1988 I was locked in a room with 4 Whorethorn Supporters for the entire Grand Final and only let out once the Cup had done the full lap.

I was also continually reminded of the year before.... 
That is ONE example. 

I hate 17 other Clubs and it’s about time the MFC felt the same way

  • 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?
