Cameron is a fantastic footballer.

Great hands, one of the best kicks in the AFL (including his field kicking), high footy iq, athletic, huge tank and great hands

In terms of his goal kicking, a challenge he faces against us is he is at his most dangerous when he turns his opponent around and runs back inside 50 with the flight of the ball and marks. 

Which works great against most teams. 

But we always have our deep spare, meaning instead of running back into an open 50, Cameron is running straight towards may, petty, Lever or Gus.

Good luck with that.

..and he knows it.

    Didn't Dangerfield leave Adelaide to win premierships?

    Awwww. Take the word flag and replace the 'a' with an 'o'

    Dangerfield wanted to go to Geelong to be closer to family ( in Fish Creek ) 

    In that respect his move has been a tremendous success 

    Good for him !!  LEL !

    Are you sure it’s Fish Creek? Fish Creek is on the other side of Wilson’s Prom and from Geelong it would take longer to get there than to fly to Adelaide.

    We have been sent down to that Dump every year since before the Rev was coach

    Meanwhile other teams never play there!!!

    yet more inside Corruption 

    It was a lot different when we weren't very good ... we were in that lower bracket of Melbourne teams shunted around everywhere.  Like it or not we had to cop it until we came good

    But we're coming off a flag and despite what the naysayers would have you believe, our crowd numbers have been more than acceptable this season

    We are pushing 65,000 members yet only 500 Demon supporters can attend the game played on a wintry Thursday night.  Terrible scheduling

    I'm all for more prime-time FTA games But they need to get the right match-ups in the right city's on the right days

    Demons at Cats on a wintry Thursday night doesn't come into 2 of those categories

    It wasn't so long ago that maximising crowd numbers was no.1 on the agenda

    So we get to watch a game at home or at the pub when the venue is 1 hour away

    Play the game at Docklands under the roof and compensate the Cats home ground loss with a higher dividend when they hand out the cash at year's end

    Mind you, anywhere, anytime, anyway still applies with regards to the winning of the game.  But that's not my point

    It's the people's game so allow the supporters to attend a blockbuster fixture

    Rant Over!!!

    Agreed. This is a Fan exodus from the AFL

    Internally The MFC Football Department are probably happy to play in hostile territory against a serious opponent

    I just can’t see them matching Oliver, Petracca and Viney. Our dynamic and more powerful midfield was the reason in the PF and it’ll be the difference once again. Thank god, all 3 of them are in ripping form. 
     

    Biggest threat is Jeremy Cameron. If Petty can tighten up on him we’ll be golden. 

    Those three have started to get going the last two weeks as well. Plus harness, sparrow, anb. Always feel confident when the midfield are up and about.

    One thing that really does BOTHER me is the Home town Bias that the Umpires will afford to Jeelong because of their Rabid, Scum Supporters shouting loudest coz our ten or so just cant get into the ground! Not dissimilar to the farce that was Adelaide last week!

    I truly believe the best matchup for Cameron is Hibberd.

    I'm afflicted with many Geelong supporters in my life and was literally just thinking tonight that we are now into the second decade since they won a premiership. Great meme.

    Gawny speaks about this being a pretty fierce rivalry these days so I'm hoping for a strong outing from the lads. I think they have an advantage playing on their home deck, even though we scraped over the line the last time we played there. Will be a good game

    Here’s something I prepared earlier.

    Guess which team (other than Geelong, of course) has played the most times at Kardinia Park this century?

    Melbourne. 18 times.

    Guess which team has played the least times?

    Collingwood. Zero. (Oh and Essendon once, Hawthorn and Carlton thrice.)

    The lack of integrity and fairness in the fixture is, to me, the biggest blight on our great game. What elite, professional sporting league in the world would allow such a discrepancy to occur, where an ‘away’ team, a so-called big club, doesn’t play at another team’s home venue for over 20 years, while another team plays there almost every friggin’ year? It infuriates me.

    It’s like telling Manchester United they don’t need to play at Bournemouth, ever, while Liverpool does.

    I am sick to death of the fixture’s inherent inequity, and our collective acceptance of it (or is it apathy).

    If we can’t have a pure 34-game home-and-away season (which would be fair and ideal for an 18-team comp), then let’s have a 17-game season. Play each team once, alternate between playing at home one season and away the next, no questions asked, no compromises entertained. Collingwood plays down at Geelong, it’s a sell-out, so be it.

    People forget that for the first 90 years of the VFL, the fixture was built on playing each team twice, home and away. There were 8 teams and 14 rounds in the first VFL season in 1897. This nonsense that we have to be wedded to a 22-round season no matter the number of teams we have is, well, nonsense. The 22-round season only came into effect when the league had expanded to 12 teams in 1925. When the league moved to 14 teams in 1987, the season inexplicably remained at 22 rounds. 

    Now, of course, the fixture is a complete mess having strayed more and more from first principles, leading to the quite absurd scenario pointed out at the top of this post and illustrated in the attached table.

    This is what you get following a team that hasn't bottomed out since colour TV was invented. Imagine going into so many games confident of a win that it's a surprise when you're expecting to lose.

    • 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?
