Lots of Freo supporters don't want Fyfe back and hopes he leaves. They have success without him with the rising kids, they dont see how he fits in anymore.

Ungrateful lot. Fyfe put his body on the line every time he played for them. Only reason they were worth watching for a long time. An absolute brute. And won a brownlow. Stuck with them when he could easily have left.

Dogga beware

    That Geelong final in 2018 is still one of my all time fav games. Jetta was unbelievable, smashed Selwood in that tackle and when Selwood gave away that 50.

    coming of age game for us

    looks to be cold, dry, no wind.....probably similar to recent carlton and fllth game nights

    I reckon you are on the money.  On the app I use it suggests that there will only be  a few showers very early Friday morning.  
    Even the BOM app says the same this time round (it indicated that there was going to be showers for the Carlton and filth games - BOM got it wrong) Perfect football weather coming up.

    So for all demon supporters who suffer from ombrophobia ( fear of rain), you have no excuse, fill the G and be very loud! LET’S GO DEES.

    Thanks mate. Maybe the Friday night estimates are a bit low then?

    In the last couple of days I’ve heard up to 84k expected. That would be unreal if we get close to that Uncle, I’m sure all of us would want the G to shake again like it did after Hannan’s goal in the 2018 EF.

    Yep DZ , that was one many great moments in that game.

    From my perspective it was sort of surreal. We clearly had their measure and there was this sense of it being a dream almost. 

    Amazing memories.

    Hannan's goal was fantastic for sure. My abiding memory is Melksham from the Hawks game turning on the 50 metre arc and drilling a goal straight and true. We were under the cosh as well so badly needed at the time. Epic goal

    Interesting changes for tomorrow night.  Edwards dropped and a debutant for the Lions!

    • IN Darcy Wilmot, Deven Robertson
    • OUT Cam Rayner (Suspension),Jarryd Lyons (Injured),Noah Answerth (Suspension)
    • In Dustin Martin
    • OUT Jason Castagna (Medi-Sub),Shane Edwards (Omitted)

    Mitch Robinson is stiff!  and Lyons is a big out

    Fagan seems to be very dark on Robinson, I always thought it was against Melbourne he had his papers stamped.

    Brisbane can score quickly when they get a run on, they have a potent forward line, but rely on confidence. Start missing the gettable ones and they may be in trouble. 

    For the Tigers, it will be about scoring conversion efficiency after getting it in the 50.

    When I've watched the Tiger's I get a feeling that some of there players aren't quite ready for AFL.

    If Brisbane can absorb the pressure and hang in there when the Tiges are trying to force turnovers, they should win, unless the Tiges conterpunch well, after turnovers.

    It's unlikely that Brisbane play a bad second half, which is what I've seen them do lately, due to it being a winner take all final. If Brissy get a good lead they will be hard to chase down.

    Maybe against the Ashburton Towies. Scored an average of two goals a quarter against us. When Glenn Frey hits town and starts playing, they are in the Seaton Street kindy.

    I hate Ross Lyon ... he hates the Dees.

    P.S. It's not the only reason I hate him.

    Completely agree. Won 2 brownlows! But since 2019 hasn’t been the same 

    Was one of favourite non demons players. Such a beast

    Hipwood, Daniher, Cameron aren't too bad.

    Brissy are known as a scoring team, not so much for their defense.

    Taking it easy.

    Um . . . sorry mrtwister. Just checking. You mean the club that plays poor drawing, weak sides, eight times a year on a pocket handkerchief shaped like a triangle, effectively gifting them 32 premiership points, is being hard done by? The current draw is virtually a handicapper event with Jeelong deemed to be on one leg with a blindfold on. 

    That's correct QD. I think if the AFL could change the rules they'd somehow create a draw on Saturday arvo and let both these sheltered teams go through.

    Swans win, with a single point in a mash of unknown stat's taken over the last 6 weeks when they have played 2 teams inside the 8.

    And he says it with a straight face somehow

    He can do wonders, the Melk. With his form returning, he may well do some stuff to our opponents. In many ways, I see him as a mini-Franklin, surprisingly potent, at times.

    The *North Melb cheer squad will be there for their girls tomorrow and then they’re gonna stay on after the AFLW game to barrack for our boys! 🥳
     

    *North will have a banner for their girls to run through tomorrow, which is awesome since it’s not something every club does. Only one club makes a banner for their AFLW team every single week and can you guess which club that is? Yep… Geelong! JK. (They don’t even make a banner for their men’s side apart from milestones.)

    Yeah, it’s us. Every match, AFL & AFLW. Yet another reason to love our Club. Like you needed another one, amirite?! ❤️💙

    That shook the G that night and another classic example of what Melksham was capable of. Man he has some crucial moments in 2018 that helped us.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.

    • 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.
