    Literally no excuses not to turn up tonight. No rain predicted, just bring a beanie for the wind factor.

    First home game at the G in a long time, top 4 could be a done deal if we win, second game for Woey Jnr.

    Just bloody get to the game FFS!!!!

    I don't want a slow start. Gee them up, Mark and Co.

    Great point.

    I reckon we'll know 10 mins in where we are at. If we are moving it quick we will def look to score quickly and put the lions on the back foot from the get go.

    When on, we really look to put score board pressure.

    A point of discussion the dees have over our key rivals is our ability to make it hard for the opposition to score AND pile on goals quickly.

    That's a big reason why are always in games.

    I realise our key defenders may switch from player to player, but I would have thought May would start on Daniher with Petty taking Hipwood. It will be interesting to watch the defensive match-ups, particularly when Gunston is on the field at the same time as Daniher and Hipwood.

    As anyone in Melbourne knows, it's been blowing a gale all day. I know the MCG is reasonably protected from the wind, but if this keeps up, it may be a very messy game.

    I can just see May moving around within the defence more... Possibly Petty to play on Joe as a shut down..

    Nothing more than my thoughts..

    Agree with this 100% Bin !

    As I alluded to earlier, I would love BBB to put one on the board in the first few minutes to take the defensive focus from JVR.

    A change in a pressure system looks like it will pass over Melbourne soon. I can see some blue sky.

    The gusty winds may abate.

    Tonight would also be the perfect time for @picket fence 's favourite player - "Spargypants" - to bob up and snag 2 or 3!

    Wouldn't that cause a complete meltdown in Casa di Picket!

    Either Dunstan or Smith as sub tonight I suspect. Presuming the latter given Smith sat out the Casey game on Sunday and Dunstan played the entire game.

    Smith is my guess. If heaven forbid Gawn is injured, we will need to send JVR into the ruck so Smith will replace him up forward.

    My thinking exactly. (Although it wouldn't surprise me if Smith was asked to ruck to enable JvR to continue as a forward with some relief rucking.)

    yeah, lets bang up a kid in the ruck......

    I hope everyone who complains about our crowds is a) going and b) going to make a heap of noise!! Even, and especially, when we're struggling!!

    Mindset required by our players ‘we are the hunters’

    Mindset required by our supporters ‘be very loud’

    Not only a home ground advantage but a home crowd advantage - time to start cranking it up

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
