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

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
