Look Geelong are going to come out hard straightaway. They would be so annoyed the way we just steamrolled them and humilated them last year. 

We have to be switched on right from the start. 

Petty and May are going to have huge jobs tonight. 

Tonight will be the perfect time for our forward line to just suddenly click. 

To the Melbourne fans going down there well done, there is no way I could have gone down there tonight, god knows what time Id get home and have to get up so early for work. I know you will be drowned out but barrack hard as possible. 

And the thing that really annoys me is we still have to play down there. We are the reigning premiers. I would have thought this year we'd deserve to miss those trips. We should have earnt the right to play at pour ground for a home game. 

Lets hope this is the last time we play there.

    I see in the little paper Geelong are still banging on about the "virus" that "swept through" the team prior to the Preliminary Final and how they wanted to ask the AFL to postpone the match.

    'It's not an excuse mind you Melbourne were very good.'

     

     

    I want to smash this team like never before.

    I hope our team believes Geelong was rife with illness prior to the Prelim. To think otherwise might be construed as complacency.

    Agree, the virus thing, simply pathetic.

    Based on The AGE, AFL and some Fox tipsters we are the underdogs.

    We'll show 'em!

    Dees by 3-5 goals.

    It was the same on RSN this morning. Geelong this, Geelong that...........

    We got 'em.

    The football gods should reward this hubris and complacent lack of self-reflection with years of defeats to the Demons.

    Hard to get a gauge on Geelong, but they have two big forwards in red hot form. Shut them down and we are in. Geelong is my most hated side ever, I just cannot stand them or their coach.

    Anyone know what numbered clowns in yellow flouro we've got tonight?

    Looking forward to beating all 25 of them.

    Go Dees

    Odd football fact

    Melbourne now have more 100 game players in tonights teams (14 to 13)

    Not surprisingly, Geeolong are leading in the over 30's (10 to 4)

    Geelong average nearly 50 games per player more than Melbourne.

    It is the first of those points that give me hope for some years to come

    Probably better than most weeks. Meredith and Findlay very experienced.  Power is a rookie.

     
    Justin Power (4), Simon Meredith (21), Robert Findlay (23)

    Will be watching this one from home tonight. Not worried at all. Doesn't mean we'll win but I'm comfortable in the fact that we're every bit as good as them win or lose and will beat them when it really matters in September.

    I am more worried about the umpiring at kryptonite park than Geelong who I hate as much as the filth.

    Another lovely warm   morning in downtown Hua Hin  and I'm just about to break my fast at one of the many local eateries.

    The good news is that the mamasan of a nearby Sports Bar assured me that showing the AFL is "no problem for me", so I'll be watching the Dees win a tough one.

    I reckon it will be close  up to 3/4 time with Melbourne pulling away 20 points.

    I hate these ****wits so bad. 

    Viney to set the tone with a bone crunching tackle on Dangerfield at first bounce. 

    Huge game, huge. HUGE.

    The media are really talking up the cats in this one

    I don't get it. They've beaten no-one recently other than the Tiges. They are 1 year older. they've added Stengle who's been excellent but he ain't going to make up for the overall geriatric profile of this team

    We will strangle the life out of these cats and show the world that Geelong are not contenders

    Looking forward to it

    Can't make it either, just too tough. Godspeed to everyone going!

    Certainly talking a lot about 'the virus that wasn't an excuse'. This will end up being the new Freed From Desire.

    I think the midfield is where it will be won. If we allow them to get a 4-5 goal run on out of the middle it will be a struggle.

    Hopefully we learned frm Rd 23. Th ePrelim suggests that we did but I think the midfield is now their weakest link.

    No Stewart and no Koladashkneesupmotherbrown is a decent help as well

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
