Well the good news out of today is that it's now not possible for the Demons to finish lower than 6th.

    Just FFS keep winning and we will be top 2.

    So sick of depending on other results - have put up with this for nigh on 60 years.

    Was just a statement of fact Mono, not a wish!

    Would have been nice for Adelaide or North to get up, but the more important sides for us to get around are Essendon and Hawthorn.

    Hawks may do us a favour. Would be a perfect Sunday if top 4 was close to locked in

    Hawthorn leading Brisbane by 30 halfway through the second.

    Remember, if Brisbane lose even once for the rest of the year, we only need one more win to ensure they cannot pass us.

    So if they drop this game and Essendon can get up over Sydney (I can't see either happening but still), then one more win will lock us into top 4.

    Hawks are a real chance in this game. Playing well and managed to hold their quarter time lead kicking into the breeze. the Lions have their work cut out for them in the 2nd half

    Not a bad effort, six minutes into the game and already TWSNBN getting frees no other team gets. Illegal disposal decisions, favourable angle kicking for goal.You name it they get it.

    Hawthorn, Essendon and Giants wins would be nice to round out the weekend.

    Hawthorn 6 goals up middle of the 3rd qtr is huge for our top 4 chances.

    Lions have lost to 10th, 13th and now down by 40 to 17th in the last four weeks. What a funny game football is.

    Lol, not even a crowd a the game and Essendon supporters still going berserk.

    I checked in on twitter just now and 'Razor Ray' has been trending for the last 30 minutes and it is just Essendon supporters telling him to 'eat a D', 'Gagf', 'and his mother', etc etc etc.

    Hilarious.

    It suits Melbourne for Essendon to win, but I hope it only happens because of a really bad free kick in the dying seconds. That'll confuse them.

    Not quite. Need the Swans to lose as well. If they do we'll be 2.5 games clear in Top 4

    They beat us by showing pride and being more desperate to win than we were. Something we really have never done against a top team when we've been down the bottom. 

    How they are winning any games with their deplorable list is beyond me. Just an out and out competitive culture. We should still be aspiring to become as good a club as they are.

    • 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.
