Lions are flat track bullies.

We are a better team than them. We are fit and primed. We will deliver a proper performance.

Dees by 35 points

No injuries & a good win like last time please.

I'd like to see Grundy assert himself a bit more tonight. A few more marks & a goal or 2 would be nice. I know he is still adjusting but hope he & gawn smash it.

Did Pig travel up with them? I see he isn’t on the emergency list but I do worry a bit about what the plan is to shut down Charlie if he gets off the leash. Melk was great as sub last week but I wonder if Pig is a better choice tonight (assuming Tommo plays for May and Pig is elevated onto emergency list).

We are better than Brisbane: more even and more stars; stronger; more confident;  and with a better game plan.  Ruthless Dees by 6+ goals.

We are better than them, smarter than them and more attractive than them. Let's do this.

Last year we were well and truly the hunted. This year we are the hunters. Got a doggie scalp last week, tonight we are going to bring down a lion. GO DEES!!!

Someone please get the graphic skills out with a Demon pitchforking both these animals. 

I'd try but not in the mood..

This is a big game. Too early on to be season defining and also a tough one to be back on the road. But we travel very well and certainly have the motivation to beat them for beating us in the final last year. A win up there will be huge and I think we will. With Jv back our midfield and dynamic ruck combo will be simply too strong. Bbb is firing and Fritta will be itching to get on the scoreboard. Tmac to get back to his best and take a bucket of marks.  Can't wait.

Need to bash them up in the midfield, last week they looked soft in there despite the big names they have

Soft underbelly all round.

MFCSS is back in full swing. They will be hard to beat this week and they are at home. Yes we travel well but they are a much better team on their home ground.

Weather report from Brisbane. Was the coolest morning here for about 4 months with the MoeMobile saying 20 degrees at 7am. A week ago it was 28 at the same time. 
 

Some dew on the windscreen which I have not seen in about the same time. 
 

Nowhere near as hot and humid as it has been. Should be a nice night but will likely get a bit slippery later in the evening.

    NEW CHAPTER by Meggs

    There was no setting sun to ruin the spectacle this week, just the rising moon over the brand-new empty GMHBA Stadium in Moorabool Street. It was a perfect evening for footy on a pristine surface with an enthusiastic crowd building.    Children dressed in Demon colours formed a Guard of Honour as the reigning premiers ran through the raised Demon banner declaring: MELBOURNE & GEELONG, A NEW CHAPTER IN THE OLDEST RIVALRY.     The strong travelling group of Demons

    BATTLE OF MORDOR by Meggs

    Shadows form over Middle-Earth as the two oldest football clubs in the land Melbourne and Geelong take battle for the very first time for 4-points, down at Kardinia Park (aka Mordor). If you dare, come venture down the highway and support our talented team. Melbourne’s Season Eight form line is 4 zip and we’ve been playing some scintillating footy.  The fanbase is growing.   It needs to be said that our opponents so far have hardly been top shelf: Collingwood sits 12th on the

    SISTER ACT by Meggs

    In the twilight at Frankston Oval, for the first ever match between Melbourne and Hawthorn, the Demons were clinical winning by 59 points and remain undefeated in Season Eight.   The Melbourne team ran out to a wonderful #DeeArmy banner paying tribute to Ron Barassi, ‘a football legend, the greatest Demon’.     So true!   Meggs was super excited to see Irish recruit Aimee Mackin playing her first game.  Aimee quickly showed us that she belongs out there with composure, ga

    ON SONG by Meggs

    Meggs asks is it time to heave ho the melodies and words of yesteryear and update Club theme songs with some Australian composers and singers?     What prompted this reflection was the discovery that this week’s combatants’ themes were written by the same early 20th century American composer, George M. Cohan.     Cohan’s melodies The Yankee Doodle Boy and You’re a Grand Old Flag have been used by Hawthorn since 1956 and Melbourne since 1912.   Even earlier, the clu

    RUN UNBEATEN by Meggs

    The Demons withstood a spirited challenge from the Western Bulldogs in the 10th anniversary of the Hampson-Hardeman Cup to run away with it in the last quarter and take their unbeaten run to 12 wins on the trot, an AFLW record.   The Doggies were tenacious and their losing score of 6.5.41 was the highest score against Melbourne since their last loss against Brisbane in Round 4 on 18 September 2022.   With the sad passing of AFL football legend Ronald Dale Barassi, champion player

    LEARNINGS OR BURNINGS by GOTO

    Well, the 2023 season is over for the Demons after a two point loss to the Blues in the First Semi Final. All season WE have been hearing about the “learnings” that the team needed to make after each loss, but how much have we actually learnt when they:   1. Lost four successive finals at our own home ground;   2. Fell in five of their last six losses despite having more shots at goal and in the sixth, they had an equal number of shots;   3. Lost seven games by under two
