Sorry,  getting in early here.

Some tasty and meaningful matches for neutral Melbourne supporter this weekend.

Im actually quite worried about the Cats, as we obviously played them without Cameron, so my preference is for a Port win.

I’d also rather West Coast to miraculously win against Richmond whilst being injury depleted. 
 

Im not sure which permeate room suits us better in throes matches?

    I'm looking forward to a Thursday night game. My preference is for Port to throttle Geelong

    Depends how optimistic you are re the rest of the MFC season

    If you're into insurance mode you want the interstate teams to lose thus minimising the chance of a first final interstate.

    A counter thought to this theory is which team is more likely to overtake us.

    Very difficult as all three of Geelong, Brisbane and Port are on 32 points at present.

    Port..simply because the Geelong inclusions may not be match fit and Eagles for the fun of it.

    Out of port and Girlong who really cares.  Hopefully though I hope Girlong miss out on a top 4 position.

    Port are an interesting team. They are missing the speed and youth of Butters and Dursma. Their team looks slow in the midfield without them.  I expect their form to turn around and Dixon to kick a few bags soon. I expect Port to be our biggest threat by the end of the year

    The Cats I still don't rate, but they keep proving me wrong. hopefully the next 3 weeks the Cats get found out

    Depends upon who or where you would rather play (only if we have to play an away qualifying match if we lost form dramatically Which won't happen)

    Adelaide Oval (Port)

    Marvel (Dogs) possible MCG 

    GMBH (Cats) probable MCG 

    Gabba (Lions

    MCG (Tigers)

    Personally I would not be phased with any but Cats at GMBH straight after around 23 might be a double up opportunity to good to miss out on!!

    Ya! Me too @JTR - but some folk on here give it some really good analysis - which isn't my bag to design, but love reading it.

     

    Mind you - 3 weeks in a row (and after beating The Bulldogs and Brisbane) THIS still happens!!

    Interesting...

    On that scenario Geelong would play its first final at Kardinia Park... Geelong v WC

    Could also result in no matches at all in Vic in the second round of the finals

    Bulldogs to lose only one match going forward (presumably against us) is an interesting prediction. You may also have underestimated Brisbane by a game or two.

    Fascinating though and thanks

    Jeepers @Engorged Onion you're clearly a fan of what the Dogs are doing if you've got them only losing one match out of Geelong (in Geelong), West Coast (in Perth), Sydney, us (at the MCG) and Port Adelaide!

    Having said that, there's not a huge difference between finishing 1st or 2nd, but there is a massive difference between finishing 2nd or 3rd when two of the next three best sides are Brisbane and Port.

    Melb Fc unlocked the  Dogs in their most emphatic performance for the year and I think other quality teams will/could do the same. Dogs being on top is a bit Over The Top.

    On this theory I have the dogs only winning 5 more games. Port Bombers Dees Eagles and Geelong will all be tricky for them.

    If that beat that then well done to Beveridge to re-set strategy a bit.

    watch the Geelong tactics against the Port kick out. Have not noticed this one before

    Geelong using two players on the mark to prevent the Port kicker from playing on.

    Excellent tactic against teams that like to kick deep such as ourselves

  • Quote

    Selwood whinging for high contact and Danger flopping. 

    business as usual for the Cats

    Tell ya what, both teams defensive efforts are pretty dismal. Fun to watch a shootout tho. 
    Rozee is not a bad player! 
     

    Let’s go Port. My hatred for Geelong cannot be explained in words.

    Just turned it on - watching 7, listening SEN - how good is it goal kicker not being pulled off the ground …. except he has been after his 4th. 
    Suck it up, Cats

    How many decades can I watch the same Geelong players? Just retire already. So sick of this team.

    Rozee seriously good but selfish. Burned a teammate in better position to convolute his second goal. 

  • Quote

    I think this is the first Port game I have seen this year.

    Is Rozee someone new? Any prior form?

    6 meter kick to Hawkins - mark.  
    Deserved nothing more that a poster.

    Lovin your work tonight Jaded. Feels like Selwood and Hawkins have been playing since the early 90’s!

    Selwood getting done for holding the ball is maybe my favorite moment in football each week. Except for when Danger flops and doesn’t get a free. 
     

    Port look good. Geelong look old. Can’t run with Port. I’m excited for when they all retire and become Hawthorn 2.0.

    • 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.
