 Swooper would have this in a heartbeat. DBA4D5C6-E70C-4B24-9D2A-939B25DE8E01.jpeg.4223fb54d5eef77eec506ee3e0a6a96e.jpeg

Redundant communist era propaganda from the brain’s trust at the Footscray Soviet. 

Demons we are not intimidated by the bully boys from out west. Throw this puerile nonsense back over the Maribyrnong. The taller the monolithic facade the greater the fall. 
 

 

I actually think that's quite clever with his foot on the ball. reminded me of one of one of our beautiful bull mastiffs.

We have coach replacements from Gisborne. If i leave at 4:30PM and then walk from Southern Cross station, I should arrive at 3 quarter time.

Perfect. Just in time to sing the song and start the trek back home in time for work on Monday.

Well that would be underwhelming, surely it could have more than last year's R1 (it was a Wednesday night).

average home and away crowd between these two sides is sub 30k

last year was almost double that after a premiership, and i'd say 85% mfc fans

footscray have a tiny supporter base and their record of crowds at the mcg indicates their fans don't attend there

Will get a few more tonight with Dees losing 4 players it evens the odds.

Should be an intense close game.

Crowd?  45- 50k tops. Bulldogs have a small following.

Player to watch.. Kosi.

Lets see what all this media hype was about. 

 


I think we can cover Viney and Fritsch and I'm not sure Salem is best 22 after last years performances but May is a massive loss. Have no faith in Tomlinson hoping to be proven wrong and happy to give an apology after the game if he does his job.

Quality not quantity 

Exactly, CF! There mightn’t be as many of us there tonight as we’d like, but those who do attend will more than make up for it since we have indisputably the most passionate supporters of all clubs. It’s a fact! even if based on nothing other than coz I said so. 😆

Not sure we can cover our best goal kicking player, unless BBB goes back to his best

Four talls is an experiment.

A bit like our experiment with Gawn and Grundy 

Usual worrywarts predicting doom. Relax, we got this.

I think Chandler can play a bit if he kicks one of two goals he's done his job. We easily accounted for Richmond without Fritsch.

Yes that's a big concern for me too.  Jamara made a mess of him last time

So much wrong in one post 😂

Wish I could be there tonight, hopefully the Demons get off to a great start of the season. If we lose its not the end of the world but still, I'd like to win.

Go Demons!

How many expected today at the G'?

Hoping we get close to 70k 🤞🏻

Not even close by the sounds of it.

Not sure if this is for Melbourne? BOM says only a 5% chance of rain tonight. 

The app I use reckons no rain tonight. Draws on BOM data but interprets it differently (not so conservative as BOM) and in my opinion is far more realistic and representative of what we are in for. GO DEES!

I love the optimism some of you have. The 4 outs are too important players. No side in the AFL can cover such losses. My MFCSS is spiralling around the milky way atm. I see a 5 goal loss. Hope I am wrong.

Yeah, nah I think you are wrong……(I hope)!

55k tonight easily.


AFL and TV exec's will be drinking champagne after the first two nights of R1  175000.

They'll come back down to earth will a dull thud by late tonight.   Grimsby Port all round!

Go Dees. Tomlinson better stand up otherwise we're cactus.

I reckon the notion that it’s a significant experiment is grossly overstated. How is it so different to the Gawn/Jackson combo?

Sure.

But i'll take an experiment involving two AA rucks sharing ruck and forward duties (as vipercrunch notes, not far away the same set up as Jackson/Gawn - the only difference would appear to be Max will play forward more often) over:

  • four key talls in the forward line
  • with one being second year bean pole
  • another an inconsistent blow in like blobb
  • and a third player in UH who has undeniable talent but like Lobb goes missing.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
