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: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
