This is the game to have a really big win,we seem to coast a bit against the weaker sides and do enough to win well but dont bury them

    Sadly your poor old Uncle Bitter is marooned in the wildlands of North East Victoria far from the comforts of The Manor and will be an armchair supporter today.

    Not that my absence will make much difference to what will be a 50 plus point demolition. 

    I'm sure I speak for most in saying I'd like to see JVR kick a bag. The club are clearly prepared to give him every opportunity to develop and hold on to a permanent spot. Kicking a few today would be a terrific confidence booster and fillip for his career.

    After his first goal less game for eons Fritta is also likely to hit the scoreboard hard.

    The game won't be much of a spectacle - if you're a Dorks supporter.

    This one is NOT a danger game so rest easy DL.

    Harley Reid is the prize the Hawks seek not the 4 points today.

    I'll have the youngins along, all decked out in our Dees gear, so hoping to see some fireworks from Maxy, Trac and Clarry. And hopefully they get to practice their Rooooooooooooooo chanting.

    Dees by 40 points

    I think it’s fair to say we buried North a fortnight ago. Hawthorn’s team today is better - we should win but don’t get carried away if the margin isn’t to your liking.

    You really want that Number one draft pick Hawks, well just come and try and get it. We dare you. 

    I can’t for the life me fathom how West Coast don’t finish last this year.

    For starters, they play Hawthorn down in Tassie soon which would be a near certain win for the Hawks.

    Most relaxed I’ve felt all year 😃

    any win beyond 30 points effectively puts us 3 games clear of Geelong (6th place) and beyond.

    I can't be there today but if I were I'd be holding a sign with a big number 2 on it.

    I guess I phrased that quote wrong. I meant the figure two, not an image of Gleeson.

    Big difference in us this year has been the injection of youth in our fwd line. Chandler has been superb and JVR very promising and is tough as. Importantly both are skilful and have added 25 goals and only 4 behinds.

    • Demonland changed the title to GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn

    Hawks have a couple of players back after resting Bruest, CJ and Mackenzie. So they won’t be as insipid as last week. 

    expect a decent contest in the first half then a 10 goal better second half

    Do it for May. Hopefully he can get into some form too

    It's going to be a sunny day. Shame it's not at 2:10 but a nice afternoon should be had by all. I expect us to win comfortably & we should if we're serious.

    I do hope our supporters show up in numbers and wouldn't it be great if Van Rooyen clunks the first grab. 

    Go dees!!!

    Yep

    Strange time for a game. It will have an almost zero TV audience so why it couldn't be at a supporter friendly time in winter sunshine I don't know

    You can't keep a player of Fritta's quality down for long. Jvr to show his appreciation and I keep expecting Kozzie to kick 5 soon. Hopefully it's today. GCS big win in Perth made me more confident.  Congratulations to May. Surely we should hope for a 50 point win.

    So one game less than after round nine last year. 

    Clarry to hospital at half time with acute leather poisoning. I’d like to see a similar game to the North game a couple of weeks ago, but break the ton this time.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
