The Blues season is on the line and their captain and coach have been in the firing line all week. If the Dees cough this one up the media's crosshairs will do a 180 and will surely be directed at the Demons who have only won 13 games from their last 25 outings. This is a must win game for the Melbourne Football Club too.

    Kozzie to ⭐️ on this special day… his 22nd birthday!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOZZIE! ❤️💙


    Better to let Grundy and BB do the ruck, give Gawn a break, he's tried.

    How Van Rooyen continues to get a game over BBB I find mystifying!?

    Why BBB wasn't put straight back into the Ones instead of having to do Re-Accreditation 101 equally so.  He'd had a great start to the year... can surely  bolster our (against top sides) pop-gun attack.

    It better not be close like last time.

    Time for fritta to step up tonight. Van Rooyen needs to show something & have no idea how Smith will go. Kozzie also has to do his role and actually contribute on the scoreboard.

    We need the win. Go boys

    Can’t afford to lose if we want to make top 4. Carlton are a rabble but we look like we’re running through trickle lately. It won’t be high quality.

    I think we’ll win but I ain’t confident.

    If we lose, it’s probably kiss goodbye to top 4 hopes.  We’d go into the 5th to 9th pack with tough games v pies and Cats. Don’t want 7-2 start to suddenly be 7-7 and outside the 8 🤬🤬🤬🤬

    I think we definitely win.

    But I expect them to come out pretty fired up with the media build up during the week and a fired up Patty Cripps

    Good morning gameday.

    Think tonight will be a tight slugfest with us getting over the line.

    I thought last week was a certain win but we kicked ourselves to a loss. 

    This week I reckon Tommo back will add much improved structure down back. I just hope we can find some structure at the other end.

    I have a feeling we'll kick away in the second half after a close start..

    Sadly though, a well earned attack of gout will confine me to The Manor. I'll be an armchair expert tonight

    You wouldn't be a Melbourne supporter if you weren't seriously nervous about this one!

    One point or one goal, I'll be happy with any margin!

    Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle… I’m not a Melbourne supporter after all!

    A lot’s been made of Carlton’s extensive injury list but it’s more quantity than quality.

    They still have their midfield class in Cripps, Walsh and Cerra which is better than our midfield that’s missing Oliver. Meanwhile Curnow and McKay can be dangerous on any given night.

    The Pittonet injury is the most significant for them, but having said that  Gawn/Grundy couldn’t take advantage of Jackson on his own last week.

    Carlton do not have a premiership player as a ruckman 

    we should win the centre ruck.  Win the smaller guys as well.  We win !

    Reckon we will go ok.  Sit someone on Sard wonder soap, win the middle and we got this.  Dees by a handy 33.

    Tells you where the Coach thinks BBB is at and he is probably not wrong.

    Not sure how our fwd line is threatening expecting a 20yo JVR who still learning his craft as our main power fwd?? So we need Fritsch to fire incl goals from Pickett , spargo & rotating rucks of Gawn & Grundy. what’s J Smith role a fwd very unconvincing..  BBB want improve @ Casey as he’s past improving so need to roll the dice with him

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
