Good to be back on our fortress lol.

Zero expectation today. We should win but I've lost trust. I want to see lace out passes to a leading forward but Ross will not let this happen. He will love it if we repeat our standard F50 entries.

If we do more of the same we lose this game. A lot rides on the coaches box tonight.

    I just want to watch an enjoyable game, there’s a reason Pies fans are turning up by the boatload to watch their club.

    It doesn’t have to be all out attack but wouldn’t mind seeing us give a handball receive every now and then

    i can't work out where ga seating is at marvel tonight. the marvel site and ticketmaster are hopeless for ga seating and it seems to vary depending on event. i believe there is supposed to be some near the goals on l1 with most on l3. trying to avoid wasting time wandering around that cold concrete jungle.

    so, does anyone know or have a link

    Just to get a win would be nice

    will not be wet or slippery.  Cold probably 

    but if we cannot beat the saints tonight then we can beat time to music.

    very pessimistic and why not !


    I shall be watching this epic from the balmy confines of The Manor surrounded, naturally, by canapés and matching beverages. 

    I simply hate Darklands and will not view football from that hole.

    Certainly looking forward to young Woey's debut and wish him well. On the other hand, I'm not sold on our forward set up and am most interested to see if we can straighten up - in all senses.

    The aints , however, are going to have their own forward issues when confronted with Messrs May, Lever etc.

    Dees by 27. Three Brownlow votes to Trac.

    We’ve won 8 of our past 11 and 4 of our last 5 at Marvel. With the injuries the Saints have, and all the pressure on us during the week, I’m expecting a 5 goal win.

    Marvel is actually pretty convenient for me as I live on the west side so I’m making the trip tonight to the soulless stadium.

    My problem is we've only picked one key forward who we're not sure whether his knee will hold up or not.

    I'm worried we won't be able to keep them under our score of 4.28.52

    I can't answer your enquiry dc but I will caution you on the likelihood of altitude sickness !

    I'm off to marvel tonight. Don't think I've been there since covid came in. 

    Do people realise Children get in free tonight

    We are under the roof so no excuses not to kick straight. 

    I really have no expectations tonight. I have no idea what melbourne will show up. 

    Just hope it's the melbourne that gets us the 4 points.

    Out of form defensive Dees v Ross Lyons coached team = 0.5% chance of an "enjoyable" game.

    This game will not be one for the purists.

    In fairness, we only had a 19 yr old key forward one out for a while and we were winning.

    Ben Brown will turn it on tonight

    Melky playing 100 games for the MFC today, well done mate! your early career with us was sensational and were one of my favourite forwards to watch. Congrats to Salem on 150 as well.

    I'm just eyeballing it but if you look at our win-loss ratio for the two phases of our accuracy this season it is almost the same as the goals-behinds ratio. 

    I was going to say something about it not being quote as 'simple as that' but it doesn't get much simpler than;

    More goals = more wins

    More behinds = more losses 

    And it's more thanthat as well because every point kicked keeps the opposition in the game

     

    By failing to kill games early we make it harder for ourselves because the oppo stays in games longer with a sniff of winning

    You look at our team:

    - Backline looks fantastic,

    - Mids even with Oliver out, still looks incredibly strong, like seeing Rivers in the mix,

    - Forward line, not as strong, still Kozzie a top small forward, time for BBB, Spargo & Melksham to shoot the lights out with accuracy, and big Maxy and Grundy kick at least one goal each.

    Best of luck to young Woey all reports indicate he is highly skilled, if he can deliver could quickly tie up a spot in the 22!

    Headed to the Marvel morgue tonight, hoping to see Demons salute!

    Go Demons.

    If this was at the G it would be another wet weather game, over our sub-par performances there are no excuses for not kicking straight tonight or not winning contested overhead marking

    I’ll be pleasantly surprised if we win the team just looks so lost in the forward 50 at the moment….will be there of course though

    All top deck usually. Or at least top deck behind each goal.

    I got $10 tickets thru the Demon Army which is level 1 wing, for those not wanting to sit on the top level. Also good cause to support our friend @WalkingCivilWar 😉

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • 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?
