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.

    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.

    Only one way to make King and Lyon look like idiots…

    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.

    Hahaha. Watching him and thinking exactly that.

    What a wish mash of stats. Montagna just as bad.

    FMD! Who writes this [censored].

    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

    I can walk to my local pub in about ten minutes, but coming home it can take up to half an hour.

    Wonderful use of the word 'staggering'.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
