I reckon the Bullies will be yapping at our heels for maybe a half and a bit, but then we’ll show them who’s boss, with our rucks and mids leading the way. It won’t be shellacking like the Grannie, but enough to show them, and any other wannabe contenders, that we won’t be going away any time soon.  Dees by around 7 goals.

 

The AFL want a record this weekend, guess what no general parking at the G all weekend. Only parking for the toffs and disabled.

Think Gil needs to tell his vision to the  MCG hob nobs.

will foodisgrey be wearing their white away strip?

They probs hope not. White is not the ideal colour to wear when there’s a high probability that one may be sh***ting oneself tonight.

Yeah he was rambling on about how he wont tell his players to bash up ours but it they wanted to its up to them....what the hell concentrate on playing footy would be the general advice!

In contrast, Clayton and Josh Dunkley together on the news last night handled the issue professionally and with humour.  Non story and well spoken Clarry. Dunkley too.  Take a look Bevo.

 

If the bulldogs come out all aggro they will most likely crash and bash into Max ala Port a few years ago, then try to smash Oliver and maybe Salem.  They have little chance of belting Petracca, most players can't even pull off a tackle.  Even Fritsch might get a serve. 

Not sure who their really aggro players are, maybe Libba, Hunter and Martin.  Our players will be ready. 

I just hope the umpires don't go easy on the bulldogs throwing, ducking and flicking and have got over making an example of us with the new 50m rules. 

Can't find who the umpires are.  Hope it isn't the guy who felt slighted by Tomlinson and paid a 50.  Gavine, I think.

Dogs don’t have players capable of “bashing” anyone. Compared to us they are about as physical as Olivia Newton-John’s film clip. 

When the siren sounds to start the match, we go back to 0-0.  All bets are off.  Cant walk around like we are still ‘the premiers’.  Gotta put it all behind us and switch to beast mode.

Nope - umpires are Howorth, Findlay and Mollison.

Right. That's work finished for the day. Now to make my way to The Tippler for 5pm opening. Let's hope they have a good range of beers on tap for the new season or it'll be straight onto the espresso martinis. Enjoy the night everyone!

Your Top End correspondents will be in attendance this evening  Currently enjoying repast and beverage at Bellota Wine Bar. Premiership hangover? Hair of the dog?  Coiffured and cute but no bone. Hairdryers are getting a workover at Teddy’s saloon as we speak.

The paper reckons 60k. Surely there will be 60k Melbourne supporters alone and we're looking at 80k

It's a shame that it's a school night. It's keeping away my nephews and because they're young their parents too. That's 5 less than it would have been perhaps on a Friday night or Saturday day.

update for GA areas. Also 59k tickets sold as of this morning plus however many GA Melbourne members scan in on night.

There's probably a bit of that combined with the other end of the age spectrum - late night, having to navigate this whole ticketing system

Wrong priorities. School is not as important as football. 

My doggie friends have started the messages today “can’t wait for sweet revenge”

I know which game Id rather win and we did :) so I send them a picture of the boys with the cup.

Ur one hunred pacent write abot thut 😉

I've seen this posted here, but just seeking clarification...Is the carpark completely closed for General Public parking? I have consulted the MCC site, which is vague at best.

 

If this is the case, what a complete disgrace. It is a Wednesday night. People want to get home early. Why on earth would you close the car park?  No doubt the metres will be patrolled all over Jolimont. I have an elderly father, he isn't disabled, but relies on driving in. There will be no parks within 2km. He will struggle to walk and why would you want people crammed on public transport. Complete balls up

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
