We could be playing West Coast this week who have 17 out and our supporters would still be making a case for the Eagles to get up!

 

37 point win, including resting some stars in the final 10 minutes.

Relaxing evening to come 

For so long as we are going into games with four first choice defenders out, including Lever and Salem, we are going to be at risk of conceding scores when we otherwise wouldn't.

We did great against the Dogs last week but that was in prime conditions, not in slippery tropical conditions.

And although we have come off one of the best seasons any side has had in the last 21 years, we dropped games to Adelaide and Collingwood and drew with Hawthorn, as roaring favourites each time.

There's no objective reason to be concerned. We're the best team in the competition. But we won't get through this year without losing games.

 

If it’s wet, that bodes well for us. We are a contested team, whilst the Suns like to run (not as easy to do on a heavy ground).

Having Lever and Salem missing is a huge hole in our team. They are 2 of the best defenders in the league so any win without both of them is worth it. I hope Lever is ready next week. Also Petty is a valuable CHB and having him out is a blow. 


We should win and although the Suns might be plucky and playing at home, I’m feeling somewhat more confident knowing the team had a run on the ground last night, with rain - so basically the same conditions as tonight I imagine. Let’s hope we can crack in like last week and take the game away from them, and then keep going with it.

 

I live between Brisbane and the Gold coast and sun is out but plenty of clouds around. Will be going down later and just hope the weather stays OK. Any storms later should be out west away from coast Looking forward to seeing them live again. Should win by at least 30 points.

 

We are reigning premiers yet we get shunned to Foxtel. I know port are a top team to, maybe they wanted to put the Hawks on because of Mitchell. Anyway I'm happy to watch it and free

Was unaware that this could be 10 wins in a row. As it should be against this Clayton's club.

Yes  gone are the days Id lament the wet weather and how it worked against us.

We thrived in all slippery conditions last year with ground ball gets and even contested marking.

Bring it on,

Your poor old Uncle Bitter had planned to give Metricon a boost by attending in person. Unfortunately ........you know.. circumstances changed..... and spectating shall take place in the The Manor's modest theatrette. Hopefully in the company of an immodest maid.

While the Suns have some very handy up and comers , and may even, finally, become competitive they will be no match for the Dees.

A comfortable 39 point victory beckons.

Agree Uncle.

Ill be taking the 1-39 pts on offer, as it seems early in the season the Dees just get out there and get the job done. We will leave the thrashings for the Cold Pies later in the season when we have a fit and firing full implement of troops. It will be wet as well i would imagine.


Absolutely persisting down near Lismore. It’s heading northish

Not humid. Cool.

Big cell looks like sliding toward Carrara.

heading up soon with my cheese collection to meet Brownie

first game in 11.5 years (last game QBW draw 🤮)

47 point win with everyone talking about how we would have won by 80 if not for the repeated 50's gifted to GCS by the maggots.

Sunny here at the moment. Hopefully the rain holds off. 

Any word yet on the Medi Sub?

Rain bands to both the West & Sth at the moment, but neither seems to be moving at the moment.  Might get lucky!

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

  • 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 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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.
