All doom and gloom at bigfooty:

  • If Brown does miss, we'll at least get ten goals closer...
  • We may do better in this game. No expectations, we'll be rank outsiders and there'll be less crowd pressure.
  • It's deck chairs on the titanic after only 3 rounds
  • 25k ? Id be surprised if 20k turn up at this point.
  • I have been a member since 1997 and at the moment I would rather stick pins in my eyes then witness another week of that [censored].
  • Play the kids and see what they can do. We are done this year. I’m glad it happens this early in the season, so the club has time to search for a new coach.
  • I’d be surprised if we keep this under a 80 point loss.
  • A Dee-struction on the national stage will go down a treat. Ben Brown to kick another 10.
  • We are f’ed, gave away all out depth when we were back to back prelim finalists..Joke of a club at the minute
  • Max Gawn hasn't been killing 'em in ruck this year but once again Melbourne run two big men in Gawn supported by Jackson. It is amazing how other sides seem to be able to run two big men but we can't.
  • I am losing patience with Connor Rozee as he has talent but seems to have hit a plateau. If Duursma can get the drop so can Rozee. He can take Motlop with him.
  • I'm trying to envisage how Port can choose a 22 to win this game. Maybe if the Dees have a bad night in front of the big sticks, we might be a slim chance - otherwise 0-4 is a certainty.
  • Honestly we are no chance. It’s a matter of how much. Even with a full list and Petracca and Oliver rested, we still lose. Our only hope is to have each team we play affected by covid but remain clean ourselves.
  • My god we are going to get hammered.  Melb by 71 points.
  • Who ******* cares
  • I suspect this Melbourne side would have given any of the sides; great Geelong side of 07-11, hawthorn of 13-15, Brisbane and port of 01-04, a good shake.  So no chance we win. But you do get to see some of the game’s great players whoop us so…..

And for good measure, a hint of optimism:

  • I’ve got a strange feeling that we will win.  The reality is it really should’ve been a 5 goal win against the crows if we didn’t butcher so many easy chances and the crows actually missed.

    Judging by the tone of that game day board, perhaps they should replace 'Never Tear Us Apart' with this upbeat little number prior to the first bounce?

    The pessimist in me thinks they are a chance but they already tried to drop players to generate a response and then they choke like that against the crows?

    they are done I reckon

    The player awoke before dawn
    He put his boots on
    He took a jumper from the equipment store
    And he walked on down the race
    He went onto the ground where the Lions played, and then he ...
    Paid a visit to the Hawks, and then he ...
    He walked on back to AAMI, and
    And he came to a derby
    And he picked his side

    Beyond amazing - do we have a Lizard King incarnate at the Dees? Feeling Dogga gives off some serious psychedelic 1960s/1970s vibes.

    They want a flogging so the coach will get it. Poor Ken. I think this will be closer because we aren’t in the kind of form to smash a team and they will have a burp of passion for Hinkley. 

    They really have to win this game. They aren’t beating Carlton away. They will be 0-5 and that will be that.

    They were pretty solid in round 1 being 20 odd points in front of Brisbane just before 3/4 time (in Brisbane). Personally think Brisbane are a certainty to make top 4 

    They obviously put in a poor performance against an underrated (imo) Hawthorn side and then probably should have won last weeks showdown

    This is going to be a real test for our team early in the season - if we are off a few % they are a big show

    My second most looked for weekly post. Thanks.

    Joeboy's 3 word analysis is my favourite. This is a close second for laughs though.

    mine too; #1 is the 6-1 for best players after another glorious victory

    pear were good in rd 1 up until 3/4 time, hopeless in rd 2, good in rd 3 up until 3/4 time...

    they have been significantly hit by injury to key position players in particular, but i fear a regular top 4 side who are facing a 0-4 start if they lose this thursday

    Agreed.  Power were stiff to lose to Lions at the Gabba. 

    They aren;'t near as bad as portrayed by some and will be a hard game for the Dees.

    Port Adelaide can't be too optimistic about crowd numbers on Thursday night.

    They're offering two tickets for the price of one in an effort to entice fans to attend.

    It's particularly funny to see because i know a lot of Port People who were desperately hoping we'd beat Geelong in the prelim because they thought we were no chance of beating them in the grand final. 

    I think they'll show up and have a crack but we will win the big moments and win by 3-4 goals, we seem to be operating in first gear at the moment and banking in wins.

    • 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.

    • 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 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
