It's Saturday this time? That's unusual. The clocks having changed last week helps too. Thanks layzie!

My mistake it's actually tomorrow night!

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

    I forgot about that.

    Happy for a good win this week.

    Would it be OK to ask for a 191 point winning margin? It's embarrassing to have to point out that 186 is not our greatest losing margin ever. That (dis)honour belongs to the Melbourne team beaten by Fitzroy by 190 points in 1979. Final scores were Melbourne 6.12 48 to Fitzroy 36.22 238. 

    We can ask but it is a bit early for Santa...😢

    Yes, very sad that we hold the dubious honour of the two biggest losing margins...

    This week I wish for a good game, bank the 4 points and have no injuries.

    Here are some things these delightful people said on reddit a couple of days ago:

    • Melbourne were dog[censored] in 2019 after we demolished them in the 2018 prelim
       
    • God what a [censored] day that was, was almost as good as winning the grand final. I just remember all the media saying Melbourne were the favourites, they were so desperate for it to be melbournes year and for us, the team predicted to not even make finals, to absolutely blow them out of the water was just chefs kiss
       
    • It was also made more delicious by them wanting to be able to beam in video of Melbourne supporters to negate our home crowd advantage. In retrospect I kind of wish they went ahead with it

     

    A nasty lot at Reddit, eh? 

    That is why they are on my 'dance on grave' list.  I recall when they beat us in 2019 the players sang their song with a nasty insult to us at the start.  Its one thing for fans to be nasty but the players... 

    They deserve all that they are going thru.  It is looking like they were satisfied with their premiership and it has all gone downhill since.

    Not a lot new to add from bigfooty:

    • Yeo to be named on the extended bench to keep Melbourne guessing for a day, but to play WAFL
    • It'll probably be a 10 to 15 goal hiding so I don't think there's any point rushing older blokes back in…
    • These young blokes need to see first hand a hardened and seriously fit team go at it.
    • Naitanui to be a surprise inclusion this week.  You heard it here first.
      • If only just to stand there and help avoid giving away 6/6/6 free kicks
    • There is a positive, this season will be impacted but for the long term we can focus on list building and testing players.
    • Common sense says I should be thoroughly [censored] off with our turn of fortune on the weekend but surprisingly, I'm not. Our young fellas show promise and there's still a bunch yet to debut, so the future looks bright.
    • For those piling s*it on the medical and S and C staff, grow up and and channel your anger and disappointment in some other manner. Take off your poo-coloured glasses and take solace in the fact that we would have beaten the Dockers last Sunday if we hadn't lucked out. Bring on Melbourne and hope for a good showing, it ain't gonna be easy but that's the way it should be!
    • Ginbey on some loser called Viney
      • Jesus christ, Viney weighs as much most big bodied midfielders and yet +10cm shorter than em
    • Have an advert keep popping up on Facebook, video from the eagles advertising upcoming game, featuring, all the blokes who won’t be playing 😕
    • think we can win this one now Brown is out. I don't mind the look of the team other than the HFF. We're going to need our tall forwards to kick us to victory.
    • Yep, Brown the only thing holding WCE back from defeating Melbourne.

    My favourite:

    Hawks may have some competition for #1 pick in the draft:

    The Eagles are the most obnoxious supporter base in the league. They have no redeeming features. We should pile as much misery on this lot, as we can on Sunday.

    We have to prepare properly, have the right attitude etc. i'm taking nothing for granted, but a 100+ win over there would be sweet as. And I'd love to see the camera pan across the crowd to see the Eagles fans lose their collective minds as we pants them. that would be icing on the cake.

    Goody is big on respecting the competition and our opposition, but I hope he’s also big on ensuring we send a message to the league that we’re ruthless and will stand on the throats of weakened opposition. Bring your absolute best against us or fear the consequences.

    A look at some of the sportsmen who returned fire to abusive fans

    I'm anticipating a game that is basically a three-hour interpretive dance performance of this moment.

    In this world there are few purer joys than obnoxious full of themselves gits making a trip to the emergency cotton toilet when they come face to face with the real thing.

    Objectively we should belt West Coast into oblivion given the talent level of the two sides in 2023 and then given West Coast are missing a stack of first-choice players.

    But wins should never be taken for granted, and who knows whether West Coast's fringe players will approach the game differently to the injured veterans who are perhaps harder to get to transition to a more 2023 appropriate style of football.

    You played for the Jags! Was the legendary John Lambie managing them at the time? Or Chic Charnley playing for them?

    Yes Lambie was manager, Chic Charnley and Gordon Rae were the elder statesmen in the side, with Declan Roche the big money signing from Celtic also there

    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. 

    i remember round 2 2014. Roos' second game. We basically gave up.

    Or even before that, Chris Lewis biting Todd Viney. And them still defending it.  I have a long memory.  In so many ways it was far worse than their defending Andrew Gaff's punching Andrew Brayshaw.  It's why I don't understand why some Demonlanders hate Freo more than West Coast - WCE supporters are the Collingwood of the west.  I think it's why it hurt when Hunt went to WCE. 

    I think you'll find Lewis bit Viney because he was being racially vilified. Whilst biting is a low act the words used against indigenous footballers continually reached new lows until not so long ago.

    • 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?
