Please don't make excuses we had a dysfunctional forward line all year, they even tried to change it towards the end of the year, blind Freddy could see that, well not you it seems.

So you go from complaining about the game against the Lions to complaining about our forward line issues. Ok champ.

    Sorry gents its whinge time for me.

    Is our Tio stadium game against the Giants worth it?

    In the literal sense it's worth it, ie financially. I know the club makes more money by the relocation but I'm thinking more about the effects it probably has on the teams energy levels.

    I do believe in the first five of our games this year, the 3 interstate games must have taken some toll on the players. Not so much the short flight to Adelaide but flying to Brisbane and Perth would have taxed the players somewhat.  It can be argued the gather travel is not relevant as all clubs do it but not necessarily so close to two other big trips.

    With the Tio game we play 7 interstate games not including the gather game and a trip to kardinia which is just as bad. Why is it bad?...the fact that we are only one of 4 Vic clubs to play there says something.  It's a tough gig with the cats huge success rate there.

    So it's 8 interstate and a trip to Geelong.

    I guess in summary I'm thinking out loud that since the Tio game is in our power to stop, it should be played at the Mcg.

    The negatives of travelling is difficult to quantify but I'm sure it has some relevance to the ultimate factor of playing a granny....the number of wins.

    If rescheduling the Giants game to the G, increases our chances for a win and maybe preserves our energy for the next game, we should do so. Yes $ are important but in this so called flag window, we should see the flag first and cash later.

    It's been a good spectacle in the past and provided much needed funds. But we are a bettervteam now and ultimately it's about enough points to play finals and getting that elusive cup.

    Go for the cup Mfc.

    Deeves, this game means the world to the locals, in particular the kids. They start gearing up for it three months out. For most of them this is the only live ALF game they get to experience. They are grateful to us for doing this, especially while Kozzie is playing. The locals absolutely idolise him, all the little kids wanna be him. Some things transcend the usual importance of a game of footy.

    The game is not at TIO in Darwin,  it's in Alice Springs.  Totally different.

    Have you taken your medication? where did I complain about about the lions game, I only answered your question about the Lions being downhill skiers nothing more, you were the making excuses about the side not me, I only answered that we had problems all year, but it's best that you take a BEX and a good lie down SON.

    Surely Fremantle won't lose to The Hawks next week.

    The Tassie announcement just added 5 goals to Freos scoreline, the Hawks are racing to add the talent before the draft becomes compromised. Sam Mitchell is smart enough to lose competitively to Freo next week

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
