Melbourne 4. 9. 33

Fockers 10. 5. 65

Well, we started the game really well with Davey slotting one through from 50 in the first 20 seconds of the match... But every goal we kicked was answered quickly by the travelling Fockers.... Byron kicked our second and Dunny our 3rd....

But this only sparked the Fockers into action.... They continued to kick the next 8 goals of the match and it was only a late goal (and an absolute ripper) from Yze that stopped the run....

We have injury problems again! Whelan first went down with what looks like an ankle injury, but also talk of a hamstring strain on top of that... Daniel Bell copped a huge knee to the back of the head not long after this and was out like a light! He has since got his bearings back, but concussion and a massive headache will see him most likely take no further part.... On top of this we have lost Nathan Jones with what was described as "an ankle the size of a grapefruit" :(

We are trying hard to stay in the game, but they have too many quality players and with only 1 bloke on the bench we could be staring down the barrel of a massive loss....

Adem Yze has had a ripper half of footy... 17 posessions, 6 marks and sweet goal...

Davey good with 13 posessions and slowly getting back to some sort of form...

Miller presenting nicely and James McDonald doing what he does best....

But the likes of Pavlich, Tarrant, Headland, Haselby, McManus and Sandilands will mean that this game will only get harder to control....

    We have not given up and have tried our guts out.... But with no cattle on the pine it will always be tough...

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
