Not much until the Steven May news dropped.  Then it turned decidedly more optimistic.

  • tough, tough game. Pies by 62
  • Best ruckman in the league Darcy Cameron to take Gawn to the cleaners
  • When Sydney got up over the Dees I thought that made our task nigh impossible but now I'm thinking their confidence has taken a hit and if we get the jump on them it might create some negative mindsets.
  • Pendles played brilliantly on Oliver at the SCG against them last year, would like to see that matchup again.
  • Petracca looks injured… Sidebottom may have the tank to run with … Gawn is dominating aerially, but Cameron is a top mark for a ruckman, so should at least be competitive against him.
  • The vibes are looking good for this one which means....Dees by 52 points!!
  • Can't see us winning this one, I can only hope that we remain at least competitive and put a fight and it doesn't turn in to a flogging.
  • Hahaha I’m trying to stay positive and I hope they prove me wrong! I think if we bring our best game like we have the past few weeks and maintain all game then yes we may be a chance!
  • If it is fine I think our pressure may get us there.
  • Frothies May strikes again xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  • image.png.99ffc61d5c8e1eadfa03b96e101e224a.png
  • Excellent news!!
  • What? Unravelling at the Dees, they don’t feel comfortable being winners
  • We are a sneaky chance of winning this game now.
  • I think we are, been ordinary without him, still would rather beat them without the excuses.
  • We were already a good chance in my opinion. Up to our eyeballs now.
  • duck me. That's Collingwood-esque.
  • Huge bonus for us, as without May the D's back six definitely struggle, as they don't have anyone who can really play his role....
  • Fritsch is Maynard’s b-tch
  • The Dees would be furious about this, considering the whole build-up to this event is based around The Big Freeze and fighting MND, not fighting your teammates. Daniher would be so gutted with this effort.
  • Expect a flat and half-hearted club to take the field while they work out what the hell is going on inside their heads.

My favourite:

  • Any chance we can get Alan Richardson to get the beers into Petracca and Oliver so they can bash the cr@p out of Fritsh.
  • Oliver pays pretty much no attention to his opponent (prob because he has the ball all the time).

    I wonder what Pauline (Fritta’s fiercely protective mum and member of the Demon Army) would think of this. 😁

    Probably as unhappy as this:  Any chance we can get Alan Richardson to get the beers into Petracca and Oliver so they can bash the cr@p out of Fritsh.

    I missed that one. Yeah she wouldn’t be impressed. I posted this elsewhere but during the match on Saturday she asked me, “who’s number 30 for THEM?” I said, “Tom McCartin. Why?” She said, “He just punched Bayles in the ribs. I’m gonna track him down! I’m gonna find his address” I said, “what are you gonna do if you find out where he lives?” She said, “I’ll hunt him down, then… I’LL KILL HIM!” 😳 I said, “you’re JK, right?” (nervous laugh). She winked and smiled but never did answer the question. 😆

    I doubt very much she’d be on DL. At least, I hope she’s not. God forbid Bayley should ever slip up. She’d not take kindly to ppl baying for his blood. And clearly that’s what happens here.

    I thought that about the Dockers and Swans.

    We need to realise that defence alone doesn’t win a game, even ours.

    They’d have to get past me first. 

    How many forwards in our history have kicked 6 in a grannie? Not many…..

    I believe Percy Beames kicked 6 goals in the 1941 GF  And he was a rover!

    Norm Smith kicked 7 in the 1940 GF

    But Fritsch at any other time may well have won the Norm Smith Medal ... did he get 2 votes from every person allocating the votes?

    Petracca of course was magnificent and a worthy winner of the medal

    From inside 50 entries in last year's GF, Fritsch was targeted 9 times where he won the ball 8 times and kicked 6 goals 2 behinds.  A fabulous strike rate especially in a GF

    Wow, massive stat re 8 wins from 9. Maybe we should be targeting him more?

    I did a thread here on our inside 50's in the GF with a full description on what happened with every entry - took me a day to do it!  Easy to find with a quick search

    We win another one I'll do it again. 

    We had a very open forward line in the GF & Prelim but since both those days our forward line has been crowded by nearly every opposition team with Sydney doing it and then playing us on the fast break - soccer style

    So targeting our forwards hasn't been easy this season ... we've become the hunted and that was to be expected

    • 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.
