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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
