Lot of optimism here. I am not. This game has an upset written all over it. Giants have historically pants us in stoppages and clearances and I suspect it will happen again tonight.

Question is will our defensive pressure negate any post clearance advantage obtained and whether we can create a turnover in D50. Not the best way to win but we have shown grit here.

Trac is playing hurt so De boer will most likely goto Oliver. We could try to throw a curveball by pushing Trac into HF and have Brayshaw run through the middle for the whole game. Keep wings unchanged and have JJ run with Kelly. 

 

Ahh ... Take 2.

Kick straight and we'll kill 'em.
Kick poorly and it'll be tougher than it needs to be.
Biggest threat is our own scoring efficiency.

Well this thread shrunk quickly since the hour ago I was here. 

Obviously some very busy mods today 😁

Looking forward to a good game tonight to round a family reunion BBQ. Hoping for the chance to be loud in the suburbs of Brisbane.

Go us!!

Whitfield is their danger man.  Beautiful kick.  Very attacking forays from their d50.

But it sounds like he is carrying an injury so he may not be as effective as usual.

I don’t reckon we care much about stoppage and clearance we setup to win the game through turnover and are usually happy to let the oppo have an extra in the midfield while we put ours behind the ball. 

I’ve always loved Jesse, and I still do. Therefore I hope he has a great game and even snags a few. Just as long as he does so as a player in the losing side. ❤️💙

I've got Gawn and Oliver in my Supercoach side and am looking to captain one of them for double points.
Who will have the bigger game do you all think?
With Pruess out I'm leaning towards Gawny but can he put together 2 in a row.
Oliver was quiet last week but he's rarely quiet 2 in a row.
What a conundrum 😕

I’d pick MAXXXXXY !!!


The problem with being at the top of the table and undefeated is we're bound to lose some time but I can never tell when so each and every game feels like a danger game

Unfortunately much more famine than feast.

Much better feeling than wondering when we'll win one.  And we've all been there.

Hopefully we can get the maid to set him up a feast for tonight then

Preuss out is a big issue for them and as result i can't see them hurting us at stoppages and clearances.

Depends whether or not Bitters can source an outfit.

Hopefully not a bad omen but my Dees pedestrian gate fell off its hinges today 😬

Trac rumoured to be doing a fitness test this morning, so potential definitely there for a late change.

 

Anything more on this aspect


I’ve got a bad feeling about this game, which l haven’t had for any other games this year. The talk from David King about us being 50% better than any other team this year, and then having that re-enforced on AFL 360 makes me very uneasy. It would be very easy for us to fall back into old habits. Goody and the coaching staff have a real challenge on their hands tonight….l hope lm wrong but l fear l am not……

I can’t recall how Maxy was against Mumy but their midfield were renowned for picking off his hit outs, so wouldn’t count on this alone. Also Flynn coming in for Preuss will want to make a statement.

Unfortunately not (as yet anyways).

If Trac is playing hurt why the hell would the football Dept tempt fate?? Better to play Dunstan and be done with it!!

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
