Looking forward to watching the 4 other teams pummelling the poo out of each other next weekend while we kick back and recuperate.

    Shame we can't just stay in SA

    Afl biggest worry is if covid hits wa from interstate . The more teams in perth  asap the better. I know port is set for home prelim and lions home semi  , things could change rapidly. Wouldnt surprise me  if Optus stadium booked for 2 matches next week and  2 matches prelim week  just in case

    Hey mods, 'NON MFC' in the thread title is redundant. We aren't playing this week (and it feels so good!)... 😉

    May all semi finals be hard slogs with lots of bodies being hit hard.

    Pretty pointless to put (NON MFC) in the title I would have thought Andy.

    If our boys stay healthy and on what I've seen this weekend we could be a just a Jeremy Cameron hamstring strain away from a flag.

    And may they be shaken by lightning strikes, and beaten by aggressive bouncers.

    Amen.

    I think the dogs may win. Out of Geelong and GWS I think the cats unfortunately but I would rather play GWS in the prelim.

    Cats obviously can’t afford to be that bad two weeks in a row, but...

    R20 beat Roos but looked horribly shaky
    R21 lost Giants and only won the last qtr
    R22 beat Saints but lost first half
    R23 lost Demons but only won one qtr, and gave up a 44 point lead to lose by 4 points. 
    QF lost Port losing every qtr and only kicking 5 goals the entire game. 

    It's a five week block of poor quality football by the Cats...'cept for that 15-minutes about which, we do not talk. Completely running against what we'd come to expect from them. 

    There's no third chance, is there? 

    Do they go with the same group?
    Or bring in the big Fijian? 
     

    All I hope for is two teams to beat the absolute [censored] out of each other, and turn up Fri week in a demoralised, battered state against us.

    think with their raft of green/e injuries and suspensions, plus likely cumming too, that the geelong geriatrics will be able to hold out gw$ who came to a shuddering halt in the last quarter versus the swans

    expecting the bears to bounce back at home

    you can be sure gws will make it a very hard and physical game

    i hope they both knock themselves out

    The Cats are a proud group. I expect them to beat GWS convincingly. 

    Without McStay and Hipwood the Lions have little HF connection or marking power going forward.  Tag Cameron and they are struggling

    I think the dogs have regained some form and will beat the Lions in a thriller.  Don't forget the Dogs were favourites for the flag a fair chunk of the year and are only really missing Bruce

    Agree Cats.
    I think Lions will beat the dogs. Dogs have no ruck, and a really fragile defence. I think the rain helped cover up those 2 major flaws.  If Lions halve clearances dogs are done. Daniher won’t be playing on Steven May this week, and Cameron is in great form.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
