Well, that’s one helluva trick he’s got right there! He makes David Copperfield et al look like amateurs. 

I come from a family of failed stage magicians.  I have a half-sister.

4 wins Demons 

that is the mindset

Whoever it is, wherever it is played 

It’s 4 wins, get the job done

Work with each other. Challenge each other 

Yep 1 week at a time, but basically that is it.

Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime 


I really think port are not as good as their ladder possie indicates.

Even though we did a great job v them at their gome, a finals prospect is different.

So I really hope we can avoid that.

Also think the dogs are a good side but in all honesty rely on a few players more than most teams. Lets be honest they get a lot of free kicks.

The real contenders are playing tonight and i believe one of them will hold up a cup.

So an emphatic win would be great.

It gives us a home final and would put fear into other teams.

Great to have Tmac and May back in.

Also our fwd line has started to click.

This really is a mini gf tonight.

Dees by 33.

 

We either Port in AO or the Lion in a neutral venue. 
that’s the options?

It's a glorious day outside so I'm keeping busy with some landscaping until beer o'clock at around 4pm. Then I'll put my feet up and have a look at the warm up act at the Gabba before the main event at KP. How good is it having the best Melbourne side any of us have probably ever seen and knowing they will probably only get better. 

No doubt this is the best Melbourne team in over 50 years and they will get better. Only older players are Gawn, May, TMac & BBB who hopefully all have 2-3 decent years left, then you go Trac, Oliver, Salem, Langdon & Lever will be at their peak over next 5 years, look at youngsters in Jackson, Pickett, Rivers, Bowey, Petty, it certainly is exciting times. 
Now is the time to be a Demon supporter, only major issue is I’ve suffered through over 50 years of losses to get here!

Go Demons.

I think we will be in Adelaide next week, no matter which opponent.

A win for me today would be no injuries. 


They have 2 of their mainstays missing in Tuohy and Stewart, no crowd support. I also reckon their narrow ground could help our defensive structures. Think we've got this.

It makes it all so much sweeter if we taste success.

A few pundits claim this is the best fwd line going up against the best backline(ours).

I think our forward line is now pretty potent as well so i think we will win.

With Hawkins injured.

Come on... What we are not allowed to say it out loud?

Alight just a mini two hour strain then.

Possibly reported as well.

 

All I hope is that I dont need a new TV after tonight.  Might just listen to the radio instead for a while to save money.

or dogs at a neutral venue if the lions lose to the eagles or win but don't make up the percentage to the dogs

Not two half-sisters?

I feel physically sick. Between this game and Covid my anxiety is off the charts.
Need to finish the domestic chores so I can relax with a calming glass of Shiraz. 

Dees 15.7 to Cats 13 10 final score

Somewhat nervous but not too bad yet. Nothing like a good bottle of Red to help calm the nerves.

  • 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.
