  1. 1. If we beat Carlton...

    • Sure, it'll feel great...and ultimately it is meaningless as they are not a reference point.

    Interesting. I've tipped against us which, of course, never works. Last time was against the Lions. Simple case of who is hungrier.

    A lot of Carlton supporters coming out of the woodwork at my workplace. Their uprising needs to be put down. Brutally if possible.

    If we beat them they'll be back to struggling to hang on to make the 8.

    Do it Demons, for all the AFL.

    It's going to be a finals type of game. I think we have enough talent and drive to put their streak to an end. But it's a nervous wait for me. Not only will it help cement second spot but will help quell all the media noise that the blues are a real chance for the flag. It must be done.

    You know the answer to this EO.

    Right now it's a big test and we hope we are good enough to beat them.

    If we do win then Carlton weren't good enough anyway and we need to be 'a lot better'

    I love it, nothing like a good solid frenzy! Ok so I was a bit mean to Jefferson but he’s a big boy and I’m sure he can handle it.

    If we beat Carlton it might shut that [censored] King up for 5mins until he needs to tie his wagon to the next team that suits his stats. He is fond of a big statement Kingy, this weeks was the Carlton midfield are "brutal", no one can stand in their way. You have to ask; can anyone believe a man that plucks his eyebrows?

    Haha ...

    Blues supporters are everywhere, maybe even on Demonland 👤🧐

    I don't think think the Carlton team that is fielded on Saturday night is necessarily a 'reference point' as it will be missing Walsh, Cerra, McKay  McGovern and Silvagni.

    The Blues managed to get over the Saints with a depleted side last week and that was a spirited win, but the Dees are definitely a much tougher challenge for Carlton. Should be a great match, am looking forward to watching it at the 'G on Saturday night ...

    You can only beat the team that's in front of you and we only managed to get over North last week and Richmond the week before who got torched by the Bulldogs last week.

    I think winning consistently is a better measure and Carlton are there on that at the moment.

    It all hinges on Curnow. If a job can be done on him, I'd back our medium defenders over their medium/small forwards. 

    Not convinced we will score a lot with Grundy in place of Petty as they're a very good defensive team

  • Quote

    Don't buy into the hype.  The Blues haven't made finals for over a decade

    With a full team they are a 6-8 placing team. And they are far from full strength

  • Quote

    If we trample them this coming Saturday night those footsteps will continue to get louder and the panic will set in all over again at Princess Park.

  • Quote

    I’ll be more interested in how we play. Sure a win is great but if Grundy does nothing and somehow Melksham kicks a bag then I’m not sure I’ll take a whole lot of confidence from it.

    We are due for a statement game. We have had patches of great footy in the past month, but nothing from start to finish that was without compromise.. .a game that will send a shiver down the spines of everyone else in the comp.

    it has to be a convincing win in both the way we play and the scoreboard. the opponent is irrelevant.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
