…still.

Don't get me wrong. I hate Geelong, but we spanked them in a PF. That's much worse than 186.

We lost to Fitzroy in rd 17 1979 by 190 points. I will never forget the trip home from Waverly. Devastating.

Okay, new target….191. GO DEES

I went with a Fitzroy-supporting mate.  He was driving.  We had to stay until the end.  :wacko:

Round 23 and PF in 2021 cleansed me.

I don't think I ever enjoyed a game of football from start to finish like I did that PF.

Don't get me wrong, the Grand Final was on a different level, but of course like every other Melbourne supporter there were moments of apprehension and worry. Not the prelim. 

It was pure bliss.

What a night that prelim was. Pain free and stressless, like a calm body of water. Everything zen.

In the past we have performed poorly in games like this. The other team has nothing to lose and we have often coasted.

I would like to see a ruthlessness that becomes the norm for us.

Spot on jnr, we never seem to be ruthless in any games. I predict a 6 goal win.

We played pretty ordinary footy at Waverley. Of course the Fitzroy game was the worst. The most annoying thing about Waverley was the fact they used White Crow tomato sauce to put on your pies.

... I thought we lost by 186 to Geelong?

Either 187 or 188, I would love someone else to have the largest losing margin record - couldn't think of a better team than the Eagles.:cool:

I could think of a couple of others but they will do for now...


Think it will be a standard 8 or 9 goal win. In soccer vernacular West Coast will park the proverbial bus and throw numbers back. 100 point + wins are more difficult with the way football is played these days.

Me too. He was one ankle injury away from winning a flag. 
Now he plays for West Coast.

Agreed, although how good was that come from behind round 23 win to clinch top spot? Hawkins hands on his head like wtf just happened. 🤣 Golden.

Exactly what I was thinking about earlier mate! I'm not sure I love the mixed metaphor, but everything else about the delivery, the moment and Max's reaction is brilliant.

Spoken like a true educator Adam! Hope fatherhood is going well for you mate


I actually think Adam Simpson is not a bad bloke, WCE supporters not so much, don't agree that we are not ruthless, there have been a couple of games in the last two years we have put the foot down, different to pre 2021 era. I just don't see anyway we cannot win this handsomely, with a system that should be good for 25 goals.

Sadly I felt this way before the Brisbane game...

 

I remember listening to a game on the radio when we lost to WCE by 100 points, maybe around 2013-15, and we were so bad that I almost wanted them to lose by 100 for some weird, sick reason! God we were in the absolute depths back then. I’d love to win by 100 for some belated revenge.

Talk about a sliding door of doom..

 

Sounds like they're missing a few which will make life hard for them! i must admit i am never 100% confident going to Perth to play a perth team but this is probably going to be one of the weakest Eagles 22's that they've had on the park in a long time. 

Dees by 71

Maybe that's why it was named WINDY Hill.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
