    Confident about this one. Kat Park doesnt worry us, although we have been worse on the road this year.

    If Tomlinson was any stiffer, hed be dead.

    Good opportunity today to bank another win against a struggling cats outfit and make our charge for top 2. 

    Pretty confident we will get it done but it will be a slog, especially if it rains. Let's hope we don't put together another wet weather performance like we did against the bombers.

    Dees by 22 point, come on!

    Yeah the only thing keeping this tight will be the wet conditions. Confident, otherwise. 

    Dees by 15 points.

    Here’s hoping we don’t have any “learnings” after the game. 
     

    I thought we buried the Geelong era in that prelim in 2021. Surely tonight is the chance to truly end it.

    You can't bury a club like Geelong in a preliminary final - they'll only get stronger.

    The only way to truly get the job done is to kill 'em on a cold winter night on their home deck, far from the spotlight of September, when there are no witnesses and nothing on the line but their own pride and dreams - crushed at last.

    Never easy at taxpayer funded park as their home record attests.

    They are undermanned and vulnerable. If we're about our business we should win. But it'll be tough. Always is down there.

    Yea, Finally game day has arrived. 

    As Bruce would say...A mouth watering feast tonight.

    Can't say I'm happy about Tommo but must move on.

    This will be tough at their fortress. They always are.

    But we have their measure.

    Go you good Demons.

    Kings Birthday game I was super confident but tonight I'm just nervous. The Cats are a five goal better team at home even when playing poorly. We have not played well in the wet for a while. But as long as we stop Cameron we should get the win.

    It's a coin flip for me, won't be surprised if we drop it but also don't see why we can't get the job done. Need to adapt to the ground and make it nice and small for the felines.

    The last time I went there it was a cold wet night like tonight and they smashed us,kicking something like 20-3, kicking them from everywhere.  We were our usual inaccurate selves, missing from straight in front, 20-30 metres out.

    I am confused by the confidence.

    Yes on paper we are a better side. They are missing some key players, but playing in Geelong always means they have the upper hand, especially in terrible conditions.

    We SHOULD win, but when you play them it's never more than a 50/50 proposition.

    Their season is one loss away from death. They know that and will come out super hungry.

    This is one game in which I have no hesitation admitting that viewing from the comfort of The Manor is far preferable to live attendance.

    However, I must also pass on my admiration to those hardy Demonlanders who are making the trek.

    I'm feeling very upbeat about this game and foresee a comfortable win. The ****ty weather won't help their key forwards and May, Petty , Lever etc will finish the job.

    I'm predicting a tense first half and then the Dees to runaway by 4 or 5 goals. The Manorial staff will be busy refilling my shiraz.

    Thomo is so stiff to miss.When he first arrived I thought when he played back we had a ripper of a player.He missed a GF and many games with his ACL and has slowly taken his time to get confidence ,fitness and form back,it takes some longer than others.He hits form so they kick him in the nuts again,hope he knows why because we sure dont

    I was explaining to Frau Nekkid that she is welcome to join me on the couch for the TV coverage (including any half time jollies), on elf the rare games I will watch from home.  I was explaining to her that GMHBA stadium is unfit to hold cattle, let alone an AFL game.  Basically chop a third off one side of the ground because there is a road there, and pretend it is up to standard.  Frau N will barrack for Maxxi (her favourite) and will sing the song if we win.  Otherwise she will take off to less touchy freely parts of the chateau.

    It's very refreshing to hear all the confidence in this thread and for a game against Geelong in Geelong.

    People keep saying they're undermanned but the only line they're undermanned in is the midfield. Sure that could be enough but they have 2 Coleman medalists and a talented backline.

    They will also no doubt have the umpires on their side egged on my their supporters.

    Bit of a no worries game for mine. Win, great top 2 looks good. Lose, we'll still win the Flag. Sit back and relax on this one folks.

    why are we confident? Cats are 1-3 in the last 4. lost to giants at alphabet stadium, lost to tigers and freo. 

    Duncan is their only decent inside mid. Cameron out of form (touch wood)

    We will smash them in the middle. bring the pressure should be an easy win

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
