TC, The swan down cushions will be reserved for the front seats that are upholstered in tiger pelts.

As for Mr. Wells, I do not think it is HG. I believe I saw Mr.Wells brother in a movie many years ago', First name 'Oceans'.

CHF pleasing news on the furnishings front but totally perplexed ? on the identity of the mysterious ‘Mr Wells’. The answer must exist somewhere in the ether between George Clooney and the Invisible Man?

    A full defensive effort and not letting them get a hot start is important.  The challenge for us is matching the midfield.  IF we can win or halve the midfield and apply our pressure, we are better forward than they are back, and better back than they are forward.  Papley kept quiet, Hickey and Kennedy nullified and BBB to kick a BBBag.

    They lost nearly every stat but still won last week against the slowing Cats.  They wont get that luxury this week.  Expect we will take the game by 50-70 points.

    In their last four games they fell in against Essendon, lost to GWS, got thumped by Gold Coast and absolutely burgled that win against Geelong.

    With Fritta beating the charges and trak a dee for life, the lid will be off at the G on Sat night.

    Dees by six goals. Bathwater Express rolls on.

    True true. I think we will handle them comfortably.

    Would be nice to have a great start and be up 5 goals at quarter time, we haven't done that this season.

    Gee, there are some super confident posters on here. We cant keep winning forever. If Sydneys IN'S are 100% fit its going to be close. If  Buddy and Rampe breakdown we should win.Weve lost 2 key players.

    Does anyone the stats on our best start to a season? How many did we win in 1965? What year did we win 8 in a row etc? 

    Won our first 8 games in 1965.   Not sure if thats our record.

    Had a quick look and I see we won our first 13 games in 1956.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
