Also well done on Angus on his 150th

… and on his and Danielle’s engagement early this week!!!

Might not be noticeable from the stands, but on tonight’s banner, along with the huge Gussy graphic, we’ve included a little nod to their engagement…

Huge rock, right there. Easily Gussy’s salary for a year. 😂

Edit: not sure what happened to my pic, it seems to have disappeared. I’ll try again. Anyways, we’ve included an engagement ring on tonight’s banner.

I'm surprised there's not more mention of the 5 day break. It's a huge factor. Clarkson can easily get them playing a really defensive style that keeps them in it until 3 qt. I'm thinking an ugly, tense 25 pt win.

but it is time this club became ruthless

It has been MIA basically since we held the cup aloft. We need to bring that aggression and attitude back for us to really click into gear.

5-day breaks are gonna happen. I’m just happy it’s not the likes of Collingwood we’re up against tonight.

If it’s any consolation the two teams (Dogs and Crows) that have a played on a 5-day break so far have both won. It is what it is unfortunately, will happen to every team.

Scrap that, Saints lost last night after 5 days. Carry on.

Thinking a 4-8 goal win but we must control the game

Gotta crack the 120 point mark.


Should be a 7-8 goal win and needs to be. Percentage is important to cash in on these lowly clubs. We have a run where we can really do it some favours. I watched North last week and they were pathetic, they'll either come out firing or continue their poor form.

I'll settle for a 15 goal win tonight. 

JVR to kick his first bag and take another contender. 

first half will be a slog and not good to watch as they flood back and put some pressure on. 

then we’ll smash them in the 2nd half

55pt win

That's interesting. I checked those results and they were both playing sides that had a six day break like we are tonight. I always thought that once you get have a 5 day break if the other team has a longer break you are in big trouble. But those results show otherwise - thank you. I'll revise my prediction up to a 45 point win 😂

Key to these games are to break them early 1st quarter always important.

Against the lesser likes its crucial in breaking their collective spirit.

Conversely the trick to beating us is the same..  apply buckets of pressure and throw everything and the sink at us.

Tbh.. it works... ( more often than not...these days )

Agree. Hit them hard early and dampen any spirit they might have had. We’ve started poor recently, so hopefully it has been a focal point at training. Then come out after 1/4 time and smash them again.

Frees last night 28-14 in favour of Saints.

Obviously the winner was second to the ball all night.

The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I remember the match v Norf last year. I watched it at the Coogee Bay Hotel with my Sydney residing daughter, her then boyfriend and his father.

We were down at half time ... Norf were really aggressive, and poor Lingers copped injured ribs courtesy of that charming man Taryn Thomas. (I spoke to him at Family Day ... he told me it was actually 4 broken ribs .) He was never the same after that. 

Hopefully those horrible Norf players won't be so mean this time. 


Perfect footy weather. Rug up. No excuses. 
If we lose I’m going to lose my mind.

Yeah, they went after us physically in that game for sure. I’m hoping it’s not the same this year. We limped home after that.

  • 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?
