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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
