    We haven’t had a good run at the G without crowds. Boys need to find a way to get themselves up regardless of the lack of atmosphere. 
    At least it’s a beautiful dry day.

    Our first 100 point win of the year.

    Then we send shockwaves through the comp by rolling Geelong at Kardinia Park next week to hit the finals as the in form team.

     

    We then go on to win the flag.

     

    [censored] it, I'm in.

    To me we are going in a tall forward short but I assume the brains trust think that Gawn/Jackson will fill that hole.

    Perfect day for football and everything to play for.

    What could possibly go wrong this time.

    It feels like the season has turned the final bend and we’re now looking down the final straight.

    Our players will know quality performances will ensure a place in our finals team and nothing is guaranteed. Coaches have us peaking with a couple of final touches to add next week in TMac and Viney.

    Expect us to be on today.

    We’re in a position to make history. 

    Go Demons.

    Not a lot of incentive for Adelaide to win and go from draft pick 2 to pick 4 or 5 and push out later round picks.

    Walker did most of the damage last time and he is out.  Lever and co won't fall for the same trap again - he will make sure we 'block the corridor'!  Keep their small fwds under control and we will win.

    And hopefully, we have learnt how to defend a lead in the last minutes of a game.  Hawthorn gave a masterclass in that yesterday.

    One thing’s for sure, no matter how we win today, the media pundits (they aren’t analysts) will spin it in some way as to underrate our Premiership chances………..and I love it.

    If this club truly has changed its culture it will beat Adelaide by 10 goals+. It’s time to get our revenge on these [censored] for beating us in round 10.

    Alarm went off at 05:00, went and got Covid test (have to get 2 a week for work) back in my bed at 05:26 and slept until 9. Bacon and eggs done and dusted, got a few jobs to do around the house before resuming my position on the couch at 2pm.

    We should win this one in a canter.

    That's it. Loss coming up. Ruined my morning.

    A real danger game. A position like 17th on the ladder proposes a huge problem for the MFC. If thy were 4th or 5th I would say we would win no worries.

    Has there been a game this year when this hasn't been posted by somebody?

    Relax Demonlanders, we'll win easily.

    Would love a win of (vs) GCS proportions, but will be more than happy with a routine 4 or 5 goal win, a nice ‘tune up’ and no injuries.

    Why do I have an uneasy feeling?

    One team has a big prize if they win, the other team has key outs and their season is done and dusted = Rnd 23 2017. 

    Bring the standard pressure we’ve had in the last two weeks and we win. It’s been a curious week with top teams either losing or being challenged at certain point so it’s a good lesson in staying focused and in the game. 

    I’m personally a little disappointed they didn’t take this opportunity to give Weid a crack but Brown’s getting into some good form so hopefully it continues today!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
