With all due respect, the last thing those guys need to get them pumped is to review the 2018 PF thrashing by a team not in this year's fins race. There are far better was to get them ready. Watching Rocky IV would be better

 

Ump No 1 was relentless in awarding frees to Geelong. God help us if he plays for them again next week

100% for sure. Great times. Was the same in Bris. Slamming every Thursday and Friday night to the best music. All of those bands just took music to a whole new level. I'm not sure they've been mentioned yet, still catching up with the thread, but I was a massive Faith No More fan as well. Saw them at Festival Hall and was just speechless in awe until the rumbos kicked in 

However, the clash with the Giants failed to live up to the intensity expected of finals football and AFL pundits believe the Cats will struggle to challenge the Demons.

“I don’t think Melbourne are quaking in their boots right now based on what they’ve seen,” St Kilda great Nick Riewoldt told Fox Footy.

Never seen Tool, timing was always out. I'd probably list them as my all time favourites. Maynard's a legend, A Perfect Circle is magic as well, and other things he's been into, Puscifer etc. Passenger, a song he did with Deftones. Wow.

May, Lever and Fritsch didn’t.

You and me both. It’s the field I work in. Or as many of us now put it, worked in. 


Dogs and cats are the 2 most 'looked after' teams in the comp. Cats going through to last 4 is dangerous. If dogs go through as well anything could happen.

lots of friends and acquaintances in the same boat so i am very, very sorry to hear

True. This is the very reason why May came to us so he’ll be pumped, Lever missed our run in 2018 due to ACL so he’ll be up for it. As for Bayley, he’s in the best form of his career so that doesn’t hurt.

But the engine room is where it will be won and lost.

Are you serious?

There's no meaningful difference between 13 days and 15 days off. They're obviously going to give Geelong and the Dogs/Lions winner 7 days each rather than give Geelong 8 days but Dogs/Lions 6 days.

And Port gets the "lower ranked" finals team in the prelim because they already had to beat the higher ranked finals team in their QF.

Are you seriously complaining about this?

For god's sake TU it's an observation. Not everything on DL has to be taken as a complaint, seriously.

I thought Meredith was far worse , number 21, in giving the Cats about 5 pathetic frees right in front and then ignoring obvious Giants ones. Razor was the bets of them by a mile. I would be happy with Razor next week and hopefully Stevic.

The reported crowd last night was just over 44k.

Certainly didn't look like that many but if there were I'm impressed by the Perth public's support

Kudos to Lachie Whitfield who I thought played a great game.

We should get a full house next week. Optus is a fantastic stadium and a pleasure to attend games there. Still no MCG but light years ahead of Docklands for spectator ambience. 

If the doggies make it to Perth they'll have travelled more than any other grand finalist. Melbourne to Tassie to Brisbane to Adelaide. It's too much.

Not sure who wins tonight. Either way their journey will end next weekend in Adelaide I reckon.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
