It's Game Day and the Demons are looking to solidify their place in the Top 4 with the added opportunity of boosting their percentage against an injury-riddled team. They are returning to Optus Stadium, the site of their drought breaking premiership and a ground where they hold the best winning rate in the entire league. GameDayRd042023.png

 

GameDay already! This weekend has absolutely flown. Except it hasn’t. It’s dragged its sad arze at snail pace.

Us by lots n lots. 
❤️💙

 

Given the history between the Eagles and Demons, the overall head to head is hardly flattering at 37-19. Given our aspirations for the season, relative ladder positions and their outs, expect it’s time for some justifiable correction of the record. Not suggesting a reprise of last year’s visit. No surprises, they’re not the Easter Bunnies. Go in with a winning mentality. Demons to take the Easter chocolates.

Hillier’s please!

It looks like being a ****ty day in Melbourne.

So ..... how better to spend it than watching a pulverising Dees performance while drinking decent booze in The Manor's sumptuous theatre ?

Wonder how many of those wins have been in Perth? Quite a lot I suspect with their crazy crowd and constant booing. I never boo opposition kicks on goal. I used to let my 6 year old daughter and her friend yell chewy onya boot....but it's hardly same amplitude and effect. Im sure Im not alone with Mfc supporters being too classy for that sort of grubbery if thats a word.

I digress. I'm sure our record there has improved since Tmac kicked that winning over his head scissor miracle goal and the lightening interrupted game. Let's not mention the prelim final and granny there where we dismantled both the cats and dogs  in 21.

So it doesn't seem such a big voo doo anymore. We are back in form after demolishing last years runners up. We have Max out but Grundy is doing very well. We have kossie back who is a complete wild card for oppo teams to nullify. We have others banging down the door for selection.  We have Goody growing in confidence and becoming the new coaching chess master.We have Jvr who will kick 4 today. I just hope Tmac plays even better than he did in Casey. If Jv hits his straps and plays his best than the sports bets odds seem justified. I feel confident enough not to even have an insurance bet. (OK don't can me for oppo bets but as you know, mfcss has deep roots but I'm starting to shake it).

Today ticks off our 2nd on the road game in four weeks and and to score the Easter chocolates will be so sweet. 

Weagles have key players out so there can be no excuse for not binge eating the sweets when the final siren sounds.

I don't want a close one. My Dr and Dees fan has advised me these are not good for my blood pressure. I want a comprehensive demolition leaving those putrid west toast players and  fans cooked. Roasted and stewed to a perfection. Psychologically scarred for the next 3 outings against us.

Not that I have any animosity towards them.

DEAR MR BUNNY DEES  by 57 PLEASE.

I've been good. Most of the time.

You left out watching Casey on the manor computer before the main event.

Time to open the spindle on the Shiraz de Wine Cask 2023 to enjoy while watching the 2 games.

Maybe even defrost the party pies and make a real celebration of the day.

The quintessential gastronomic connoisseurs. Enjoy.

I guess after a few 23 cask Shiraz vegie toast seems gourmet.

Better tha an 11 dollar glass of watered down beer for the afl coffers at the ground.

I envy the Cordon Bleu taste and preparation skills of Uncle Bitter.

He is the unchallenged MasterChef of Romsey.

How much is it. My swans mate told me last week it was 10.50 for 375ml . What's the current rate then ?I live in Wollongong so only get to a game once every 2 years.

Tx Kent I'd like to know. Enjoy the game.

T Mac and Sparrow better have great games to justify inclusion

JJ was in the top 6 last week and Sparrow in the bottom 6

I'm not convinced TMac is fit enough at the moment and may be terminally injured

BBB is terminally injured with his knee but the team manager it well. Presume they are doing the same if this is the case with TMac.

Was their game that far different from an impact point of view.

Someone took their main playmaker, Warner, out of the game.  It was hard to see who that was at the ground.  Can't help but think it was Sparrow's job to run with him.  If so he made a big contribution to our win.

Did anyone see who was on Warner for most of the game if not Sparrow?

If computer is connected to the tv the Casey game will also be on the big screen.

Jayden must be really hurting inside to be playing against the dees.  Really feel for him, especially being my =#1 fave player since he started❤️.  Hope he has a good game, not good enough to be BOG but enough to make him happy.

Would love to see a ruthless performance with a 100 Point shellacking of those Eagles!

Help set up our percentage for the season

I hope they give him friendly hugs after the game (and after we've cemented a great percentage)

The Manor's computer seems to have a mind of its own Red.

It automatically opens to ..... err "contact sports"... of a somewhat different nature.


Of course, a win is mandatory, but this is a perfect opportunity for us to win big, and bank some valuable percentage.  I’ll be disappointed with anything less than an 8 goal win, but I’m expecting Easter joy!

Are we being over confident again like lions game?

Yes, W first but hopefully with a percentage boosting win!

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
