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

Only two games tomorrow and none on 7 what is that about?

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.

Had me worried there for a second when I glanced at the first few words. Phew. Yea love to see a 100 point thumping over this bunch. Still have deep loathing towards them. My wife tells me to get over it but I say ...why?

    We showed during the week that we are not the ‘pushover’ club that many thought we were.  I reckon we’ll come out pumped, just for the satisfaction of ‘rubbing their noses in it’, and to show our support for Roo and Maysie as well.  A shellacking, and +10 percentage points, is a strong possibility.  Go Demons!

    Dees to dominate the first quarter to lead by 20 points. Hawks to manage to stay with us, and be only 30 points down mid way through third quarter. Our fitness and late game strength to have us win by 8 - 10 goals.

    Fritsch, Kozzie and chandler to provide most of our goals. The Hawks will put a lot of energy into JVR to stop his confidence, and to the limit energy the Dees squad will have from him being free to play. 

    Until the last quarter, it might not be a great spectacle with the Hawks doing all they can to play keepings off, make it a scramble, lots of stoppages.

    The bad white men call him the devil
    The Yavapai call him "Eyes Like the Sky"

    As always take the 4 points by any margin!

    What I would be delighted to see is the Demons massacre the Hawks by 100 plus points but rarely as easy as you think or hope!

    5 plus from Frittata, Kozzy, JVR and Max would be brilliant, highly unlikely but can always dream!

    Go Demons give those Hawks a flogging from the start to the very end!

    Hawks aren’t as bad as a lot of people seem to think they always give cheek at least for the first half of games…that said we should pull away after half time and win by 40+

    I’ll be there to witness the mighty Melbourne Football Club spanking a tanking Hawthorn. 
    GO DEES!!!!!!

    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.

     

    Maybe they’ll both be tanking so hard that that game will be a nil all draw.

    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!!!

    Some on here amusingly call Optus Stadium in Perth 'Boo Stadium' when we or anyone else plays the Eagles there.

    Well today in bright Autumn sunshine, we shall be turning the 'G' into the east coast 'Boo Stadium',  or should I say 'ROOOO' Stadium.

    I know I will be.  Hang on, is yelling Roo allowed if it sounds like Boo.? Didn't stop Tiger fans last night.

    It smells like the Essendon pre game in here. 
    I am not saying we will lose. But I am saying that I hope our players aren’t waking up today thinking they’re on vacation.

    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. 

    No one feels more let down by Fritta’s performance last week than Fritta himself. He has such high expectations and standards and is understandably terribly disappointed in himself. Look out Hawks, he’s keen to atone.

    Unfortunately today Frosty (who’s playing his 150th) will likely be in the vicinity when we yell Rooooo and it will sound as though we’re booing him. I’m sure everyone will know that’s not the case.

    Soz Jaded. That might be my fault. I didn’t get time to clean the bottom of the chook cage. Oh, I didn’t notice the word ‘pregame’. Thought you just meant Essendon in general. 😁

    Let’s not take it as a given and that they are tanking - serious pressure from the first minute and maintain it.

    FWIW, a player currently out of the side was at a mate’s workshop yesterday and told mate when asked that the boys are switched on for today despite the distraction all week. Said no one is to be taken lightly these days.

    I predict a gritty first half, followed by us kicking away in the 3rd and last quarters.

    We’ve still got scores to settle here. No mercy!

    Too [censored] right. I want us to have the same mindset like we did against North. I don’t want an easygoing 30-40 point win, I want a 4 quarter effort.

    We will win by a couple of goals. Hawks usually turn up to play us and as a lot of bottom teams do they will put up a good fight once every few weeks or so. Next week is the bigger picture against the south aussie filth.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
