One Flag and I am cured of MFCSS . The MFC army IS mustering after a long furlough . The members was packed . As the season goes on more will join and other teams supporters will jump on for the finals . We are 4 games ahead of Richmond in 8th . Pinching myself so often to make sure I am not dreaming that I am red and blue on the outside . 

 

Looking at the season from afar and if all lists are healthy coming into september.TO me it's a race out of 5 teams this year

Dees,dogs,port, tigers and cats

Just all comes down to the top 4 and where everyone plays 

Anyone can knock anyone off on the day ATM but if the interstate teams don't make the top 4 it's going to be tough for them 

The only real smokey at the g is the Swans it suits there game but I think the kids will run out of legs in a long season

Just hope like hell we keep doing what where doing

go demons 

 

 

I would drop the Tigers ( said after 2nd round they would be lucky to make the 8 ) and put in Brisbane . Hoping Lions also  tire at season .


The only significance of 9 wins in a row is that it is one more than 8 wins in a row.

One week at a time. First make the eight, then the four, then the two.

Have been through too many false projections.

Sadly I agree with you tiers however I do enjoy 9 zero more than any other result at this point. And we still haven’t beaten anyone above us!

I've always had the view that it's not a bad thing if you’re not playing your best football this time of year.  I just worry that we've peaked too early.

 

Already won as many as last season.

I've been to 7 wins this season, loving it.

 

We need to finish top 2 to give us the best chance of winning the flag.  This season it is likely that 16 wins will secure top 2.  As such the only significance of our 9 - 0 start is that we now required just 7 wins from the last 13 games to achieve this.

I don't think we've peaked at all.  Working out what is our optimal forward set-up is very much work-in-progress.

Been to any Casey games DJ? I am thinking  of the Footscray game. 


Just taking it one game at a time, no point in stressing ahead of time, enjoying the serenity of it all and we still haven’t played our best Footy yet. Each win puts us that much closer to Finals footy and how we all loved 2018 and we are now a better team. 2021 roll on and on.!!!!

Go Dee’s...!!!!

Just one time

I think you're asking too much

was intending to go on Saturday but the weather and drive put me off.

Bulldogs is a real possibility.

Would love a game at Preston/Windy Hill/Coburg or Port.

Seems that the VFL draw pits the AFL related teams against each other.

The streak is challenging for mental state. Increasingly I've found myself going to the footy hoping not to lose rather than to win. Makes it slightly less enjoyable when we do inevitably grind out our predictable 4-5 goal win.

Such strange times! Loving it though, can't wait to see how we go in the Bulldogs game. Every chance they get roadblocked by our impenetrable defensive walls and our big boys turn on up the offensive hurt factor.

I’d like to know the significance of 9-0 for other teams in recent history i.e. last 20 years. How many teams that went 9-0 ended up winning the premiership?

we keep saying this but starting to wonder if they can improve greatly.

You don't improve forward delivery overnight for example. 

Goals v Behinds is 50% luck... just ask Dusty

The fringe players are contributing well

Probably LJ has the greatest upside

Sure there is scope for improvement but not sure it will come.

Of course our present standard has been good enough so far

I think there is a case to be made, OD, that we have beaten everyone above us ...

just noticed we have a VFL game against the Swans on Sunday at 1pm at Casey.

Assuming the sub and the emergency are back from Adelaide it could be a strong Casey side.

Sunday weather looking not too bad.. 18 fine and a medium breeze

Sadly Casey is the other end of the earth from me in the north west DJ. Hopefully that game is on tv.

  • 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.
