Don’t remind me, the first game of the year I saw in person.

We should win this one in a canter. Crows have nothing to play for and we have top spot on the line.

Dees by 40+

 

Last 4 years (including this year), Adelaide produced in MCG:

2018    Rd 13   Hawthorn  vs  Adelaide   MCG      88:32   lost by 56

             Rd 16   Richmond  vs  Adelaide   MCG   103:56   lost by 47

2019    Rd19      Carlton     vs  Adelaide   MCG      87:60   lost by 27

2020                                     None

2021    Rd22   Melbourne vs Adelaide   MCG      ? : ?     lost by 20+ 

I reckon this time, the max points Demons would allow Crows to kick are 60, Demons themselves will kick over 80.

I felt both B Brown and Viney are slowly but getting better and better.

I like Koz, I like May and his recent interview.

I like Melksham's mark and goal kicking last Monday. In Rd 5 Hawthorn's game (in MCG), he kicked 3.0, no behinds. Let's prepare some instant milkshake ready for this afternoon...

Go Melksham, go Koz, go Dees!

Should be another enjoyable day. Wouldn’t mind seeing kozzie boot 5 


Ger the 4 points without heart stress and injuries

 

The last time we beat Adelaide at the G, (the late) Colin Sylvia, Jurrah and Moloney were running amok.

Let’s hope Collingwood are the only side we couldn’t beat in 2021.

Tis strange. All the TV guides have 7 broadcasting essendon/goldcoast at 3pm.Guess we will have to wait and see.

Not sure nationally, but our game today will only be on Fox Footy from a Victorian perspective.

Perhaps In SA it will be on channel 7 but doubtful anywhere else.

I know I’m not always positive about things but jeez this a negative spin.

Percentage doesn’t mean anything now but I would ours to go above the Bulldogs to further reinforce that we have been the best team all year.

I’m actually pointing out how outstanding our season has been to beat all but one side, assuming we salute today. That’s next level brilliant.

It’s a positive comment.

It's opening up for us somewhat. Teams around us are getting key injuries while we still have a charmed run.

We need to make the most of it and cement a top 2 spot. Can't rely on the dogs winning next week, just win today and in Geelong or we run the risk of playing port in Adelaide

I expect us to be switched on and professional. Players are playing for finals spots so no hollywood BS. Heat, intensity, system, method. The Crows fired their last bullets in the showdown last weekend so won't put up much resistance unless we give them a sniff.

50 point Dees win. BB to kick 5

Reminder the the aggrieved masses - handballs over the head is in vogue... it's not the 90's anymore. :cool:

Agree on BBB. Viney won’t be playing….Still suspended. 

It's a still, partly cloudy morning here on the west side of town. It might only be 8am but there's a hint of warmth in the air and the cherry blossoms are blooming on the tree out front of HQ so September must be within touching distance. In these lockdown times it'll be a stripped back game day affair with a walk round to our local caff Sadie Black for some take away lunch that'll be washed down by some bottles of Sunset from the Two Birds brewery down in Spotswood. Enjoy the game everyone, wherever and how ever you'll be watching it.

Eat Mexican last night?

Reckon it's a Ben Brown kind of day. Tipping 4 or 5 goals today and really stamp himself, and remind the competition that he's still got it.

Agreed on this CB.  Win today and were' playing for top next week and will be above the Dogs.

Also, looking at the losses this year, I believed at the game that GWS are worthy finalists after their win against us, the Hawks showed they a a good team yesterday and the draw could be called noteworthy (?), and the Pies had the Buckley emotion.

Adelaide were the only outlier in the Dees performance this year.

Lets put that to bed today and we have beaten just about all comers so far this year. Self-doubt inside the club would be non-existent going into finals.

I would welcome the chance to play a team that hasn't beaten a top side all year in Port (rather than Geelong) for first week of finals.

You’re a Melbourne supporter??

 

A win with no injuries is that aim of the day. Could be a big day for BBB. Maybe the day he breaks out as a Dee.

With Covid numbers in Victoria going backwards, a win today is the only thing that can put a smile on the face of Melbourne supporters. Let’s do this!

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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.

  • 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?
