Week 4 (The one where we win the whole F*cking thing) 

Grand Final will be held at Optus Stadium.

A heavyweight title fight between the best 2 teams of the home and away season.

After a tough 3 quarters where both sides have momentum but can't take advantage, I have the Dees in front at 3/4 time by 4 points. The lead won't blow out to more than 12 points for either side during the game.

Our superior fitness will see us push out to a 24 point lead with 7 minutes to play.

Port will kick a goal to bring it back to 18 points with 6 minutes to go.

A steadier from Ben Brown will take the margin back out to 24 with 4 and a half to play.

The "built for finals" gameplan will see us run the clock down with stoppage after stoppage for a 23 point win.

Could you be more specific, please?

    i have a horrible feeling this thread is going to coax Dr D out of the woodwork to produce yet another factual prediction of doom and gloom. I believe his last one, based on his ability to know more about football than any other numbskull on demonland, had us dropping from 1st to finish 5th and feeling grateful to be in the 8 at all. My skills as a budding Nostrodamus have Dr D predicting we exit the finals in straight sets 😜

     

    Where has DR d gone, he did  boasted so much, was so sure of himself, we won't see him again, not a Melbourne supporter

    Quite apart from an MFC flag, the greatest delight I’d derive from this is seeing Essendon out week 1 and Geelong out in week 2 in straight sets. Kcfu those guys.

    Its hard to see cats go out in straight sets as much as I would enjoy it.

    I think your on the money with Port at home in hot form to take them out. But given their forward line I get the feeling we may see them again.

    But who knows, outside of the Dons all of these teams are dangerously talented so it will be one hell of a finals series.

    Good effort.

    I think your'e on the money here Rev.

    Port are not in Lions class.

    Cats are gone

    Sydney well coached enough  and Longmire will get them to a prelim. But May has Buddys measiure so its over them for them.

    May has Danihers measure, so over for them to in GF.

    FWIW, the TAB betting on the Norm Smith Has six out of the top seven coming from Melbourne or Geelong – I guess the money thinks it will be in Melbourne V Geelong grand final.

    Justin Longmuir is tipping either Geelong or Brisbane as premiers. 

    that means he thinks they'll either both win or both lose this weekend, otherwise it's an impossibility

    Port going in on winning streak will be tough.

    We have done well to win our last four unlike cats and dogs.

    This will be a red hot finals series.

    Lions kicking some high scores will come up against a solid defence but our forwards especially Tmac will have to lift a lot.

    Not too worried about the dons who make up the numbers but all seven others are great teams this year especially the Swans. 

    Gws and dogs we have an equal record.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
