Just getting paranoid about Brisbane getting a ton of percentage over us, even if it’s early days.

If we win more games percentage doesn’t matter

    Wonder if premiership player Ben Brown is having any regrets about leaving?

    Flew way out west for a friend's birthday celebrations this weekend. Said friend has got us tickets to The Derby today. Finally getting to experience Boo Stadium first-hand (and six months too late).

    Dees Premiership polo ready to wear.

    With him in the team, they could have gone down by only 15 goals for a face saving gallant defeat.

    4 points > percentage

    I actually think about a number of clubs ... my anger and dislike of them occupies large amounts of my thinking time. Is that normal? Especially the filth ... and the following (in no particular order) -  Jee-long, Richmond, Essendon (although less these days cos they're pretty hopeless), Footscray. 

    I hear you, Bingers. I’ve let Essendon live rent-free in my head for decades. Recently a friend asked me who I think I might barrack for if Melbourne ever ceased to exist *shudder* He was shocked when I said probs Essendon 🤮 (Soz reflex action). My logic being: The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Therefore, I think I’d have an easier time converting my intense and undying hate for Essendon into love of a similar degree. The path from indifference to love would be so much longer.
    Hmmmm, maybe I need to see a therapist. 

    Lol- even text predictor knows how much I hate that loathsome pack of ferals…

    I'm about to head to the G for the Bluebaggers/Poos & Wees match.

    It's an interesting experience going to a match as a neutral. I suspect the highlight will be the afternoon tea. I know there will be sandwiches, party pies & liquified dust (which is supposed to be coffee). Not sure whether there will be scones ... hope so. I'm joining my MUCH OLDER friend in the 50 year section of the members.  (I don't qualify personally as I am much, much younger than him.)

    Likewise SWYL.

    Cats at GMHBA this week will be their first test.

    They look good but the GF will be at the G in September.

    Enjoy the day out. Safe in the knowledge there'll be 1 less unbeaten team at the end of the match.

    Your problem will be who to support to make it happen.  or who do you hate least - Blues or hawks.

    Really tough decision from where I stand but will be wathcing the game on the tele with that angle in mind.

    Today, I hate the Hawks more.

    Should be a fun, high scoring match. Carltons defence is looking shaky but they have plenty of fire power

    I hope Hawks win today because Hawks aren’t actually good enough to do any real damage and if they win it proves that Carlton probably aren’t either. 
    I am a deeply mean spirited footy fan

    Essendon were absolutely horrible especially the first half. Dragged us down to their level .

    Our execution was sloppy but our structure was impeccable. I was never really worried even when they hit the front. We just suffocated them and they had no answers at all.

    Strangle, suffocate then score. The Demon way.

    McKay and Curnow are the best KPF double act in the league by a long way

    Clearances and conversion are where Carlton would destroy us.

    Are you saying they're going to win the flag?

    Are the Blues as good to watch live as they are on TV right now? Coz they’re looking  great from where I am.

    How good do you reckon Port are feeling?

    Lost to the hawks by 10 goals at home!

    At this rate Hawthorn could drop from 173% to 73%.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
