I'm torn between having a soft spot for them because they supported us at the granny and wanting to tear them limb from limb and kicking them while they're down like everyone did to us 😂

How about a compromise? We take whatever they give without a second thought, and give them nothing in return except destruction and humiliation?

    They can get stuffed. West Coast are easily one of my most hated club's right up there with Essendon. Perennial whingers the lot of them.

    I would be thrilled to smash West Coast and would feel not a shred of pity for them.

    West Coast were the only team to expose our Achilles heel last year - freak thunderstorms.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if Adam Simpson gets a forecaster from the BOM to speak to the WCE team this week and fire them up. 

    Maybe they'll try and rustle up an earthquake this year.

    [censored] then, no mercy. I still remember getting flogged during the early 90s by WCE. Time for revenge.

    Just Remember 1994 Preliminary Final

    Foot on the Throat Demons

    I went over for the 1994 match. Fortunately the Eagle supporters were OK then and didn't give us stick.

    Mum's from Perth, Dad's Melbourne. As a 4 year old I wanted to follow eagles (kids are [censored] stupid) but the old man threw a Dees jumper on me for my first Vickick session, rusted on since. I remember '94 wondering why Schwarta wasn't able to rip the prelim apart. Lived in Perth for uni years during the swans-eagles era and cannot feel an ounce of pity for this lot. I agree with @binman that we will hold them at 40 and not spend tickets smashing them and that is fine. Cos the Dees rock and the Eagles can go and cook meth in a bathtub in Bayswater.

    I recall a game against the Weagles maybe 10 years ago.

    Was a Thursday night clash.

    We were getting flogged, which was expected, but the free kicks at half time was 20-0.

    We got the first free of the second half which was obvious and the whole of Subiaco booed.

    Cup cakes.

    2011..

    Remember that game clearly.

    Still no thread on their Flying High website.  WCE fan disinterest meter rising?

    A few more gems from Bigfooty:

    • lol Melbourne had a genuine chance to rest some sore players but will fly the whole team out...
      • ... As if they won’t be getting a rest on Sunday
      • ... Running scared they are.  Worried about our 'keeping it close to the chest' surprise selection policy they are.  Think we might beat them they do.
    • At least we'll keep the time honoured tradition alive of getting pumped on a players milestone game.
    • Genuinely surprised they intend to risk Gawn against us. They rate Jamo highly I see.
    • Unfortunately we have been spoiled as supporters of west coast. Other teams have been down for decades and when we are down for a few years we are up in arms.  It says a lot about us as supporters and a lot of us are fair weather in our attitude.

    Hard to hate the perf sides now, after the way they embraced us for the Grand Final.

     

    Actually, I lied. [censored] the eagles. Lets keep the bastards goalless all day.

    I lost my MFC scarf somewhere at Perf airport on the way through last Sunday night.  Never mind, I'm sure there will be pleanty of Eagles supporters looking for a different team to follow soon, who might as whell get on board the Demon train!!

    Ohhh, how great would it be for Meth Coast to have a period of being down for an extended period.  They have had it way too good for too long.  Outside of Hawthorn, they are pretty much the most successful team of the AFL era and totally deserve to feel the pain of a sustained period without sucess.

    With Freo showing some form right at the moment, hopefully they will be the ones that attract the players of any quality, wanting to play finals, while WC just attract the go home lossers who just want to go back to mummy and some cash.  As Angus Brayshaw so eloquently expressed it "I'd rather eat a steaming plate of my own..." than play for West Coast.

    I'd actually feel a little mixed.  Apreciated the way the WC supporters got around the MFC at last year's grand final.

    But still want to beat the bejesus out of both WC and North.  That's what great sides do.  No mercy Demons, it's redemption time for all the pain inflicted on us as a supporter base over the years.

    If the boys squeeze the life out of this game like they achieved against the Powa they will keep them under 30 points Goody and I Will be happy.

    I think we will break the 💯 point barrier for points scored for a 10 to 12 goal win in 2 gear.

    Correct me if I'm wrong if we keep them goalless till half time like the Powa this will be the first time in VFL/AFL history a team has achieved this in a season of footy?

    If so that will be a powerful statement of intent.

    Not Necessarily true about support.

    I understood it was Freo people backing us, including their cheer squad. 

    Optus is called Boo stadium for a reason and no sympathy here for any Eagles types.

    There are three reasons for that:

    ☝Playing on Glen Jakovich didn’t help.

    ☝Ox got a knee to the head from Steve Kretiuk in the last quarter against the Dogs in the semi final the week before while diving for a scrubber kick.

    ☝The ‘very good steaks’ they were eating over there (to use Paul Couch’s vernacular)

    What could have we been had he stayed at the peak of his powers? Imagine him as a fully developed 70 goal CHF in that 1998 prelim team instead of him being a Cam Pedersen/Chris Dawes space creator? He could have made all the difference. 😢

    • 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.

    • 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?
