    Right - I'm going to watch the second half of the Deez and the Blues. I'll come back to the convo about this game in an hour or so.

    2 carlton supporting morons sitting next to me keep asking, "where are all your supporters?" and one even just made a joke about the Snow

    I was like "Mate, you realise your season is hanging by a thread here right?"

    Saad definitely looks sore - maybe ribs or something.

    Fritsch and Melk need to start leading. With no movement, the only option for our midfield is to aim long for BBB who is surrounded by 3 defenders. And one of Spargo and Kozzie needs to rove the back of the pack where Saad is floating unattended. 


    I’d just go all chips in on Weid for the last few weeks. Brown isn’t the answer. Him making a contest but winning the ground ball is mutually exclusive. Never seen a worser a player when the ball hits the ground.

    We just look slow. In all aspects: Running, reaction time, seeing options. When we won the flag we looked a step ahead of the game and right now it looks like everything is coming from sheer hard work. There are some crappy games on the board from most of our players, at this stage I'd only be giving Gus votes.

    How do we get Brown into the game? Gonna be hard considering he's always taking the best defender right now. Need to kick to space and run onto it I think. I don't know, it's a tough one 

    We need to play on instinct, first option is best. We also need a couple of goals early and the confidence will rise. We are probably not going to hit the form we would like to in this match but we need to squeeze out the win. That is pretty much it. My god we just need the win, please just win it.

    Can’t do any worse than BB at the moment.

    Brown has been crunched by 2 or 3 defenders in about 20 contests 

    If we're continually going to bomb fwd, someone has to do that job

     

    Hope we don't fade out we're not far enough in front.

    Oh the irony if Weid were to lead us to the flag 😆

    13, our 4th highest. 

    But most ineffective.

    Brown playing on Young and not taking a mark is a huge worry, he's got him for height, weight, leap and experience, and he's just had a couple of weeks off. there really isn't much excuse for him

    I can’t stand our coaching anymore. Even if we win this, bombing long to small forwards like Spargo, with McGovern on him is bloody madness. Kick it low or wide to space. 

    We don’t adapt to our selected side at all.

    Our handball turnovers must be a world record.

    Our disposal is garbage.

    We are not a shadow of last year’s side the way we are playing.

    Eight minutes left in the second qtr and I watched us switch sides across half back for what seemed like the first time in weeks.

    We raced forward and then fluffed it.

    I wish we'd had the courage and dare we used to have to switch and run it through the guts quickly.

    We seem a shadow of last year's side

    The pre game tension headaches are back and slowly building during the game to fever pitch. Comeon boys give us a break for the love of god.🙏👍👌🤘✅

    So many experts on here can't see he's continually bringing the ball to the ground. Has he been outmarked yet?

    He needs to run and jump at the ball to be effective. Kicks in need to be up in the air sure, just not into outer space before coming down. As @Bitter but optimisticalways says, a little extra penetration never hurt anyone

    Spagbol has time and space with ball in hand, he needs to park his ar$e at the fall of the ball

    Geez I’d love to see a Dees player storm out and take a grab like McKay

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
