I came to Thailand for spiritual enlightenment and I must say my stay in Bangkok has been wonderfully ..... err .... uplifting.

I have consulted my guru ( not Bob ) and I have been assured that the Demons will win today's encounter with the Dorks by 46 points.

Hope you werent wearing the budgie smugglers

    Even with 20/75 vision the dog could see THE BALL WASN’T TOUCHED!

    Need to move on.

    Though, given what happened to Adelaide yesterday and us, they need much better Tech, that can overrule umps.

    Kev, I still have dreams that Simon Eishold kicks his goal in the 1987 Prelim.

    Moving on isn’t my specialty.

    Hawks will come out hard. We just have to "cope" for 2 1/2 quartrs then put the foot down.

    I'm so traumatised by the their last goal, I cannot remember Simons shot on goal. Did it go through and not given?

    Anything less than a forty point win will not suffice.

    Big day for Max. Boys need to get it done.

    Plus with a few teams going into finals with a lot of wins behind them, we need some form as well.

    Hopefully Smith and Jvr work well together.

    Playing the old enemy again. Don't even like calling their name, use the Potter, "they, that should not be named"

    Get it done Dees.

    He was 11 metres out on a 30 degree angle. Absolute shank.

    The Hawks can have their moments (and have had them in recent weeks). They can also dip and put in poor performances (that is why they are 16th). Expecting a solid Dees win.

    If you don’t turn up today and choose to watch on tv instead (and you’re in Melbourne obviously), then shame on you. Final home game of the year. In the race for top 4. Captain Max playing his 200th. Weather is mild. 
    Don’t be the sort of Melbourne supporter everyone laughs about. Turn up, make noise, and let’s bury those Hawks!

    Has junior footy finished as well? From memory it normally ends late August.

    i’m looking forward to the second half 

    i’m not looking forward to the first half. tight scrappy low scoring anxiety inducing 

    FYI Fritsch is doing drills at Goschs paddock as we speak. In some agility drills he looks to be moving with no issues at all.

    This is what I’m hoping for. For every 1-2 good wins, they put in a shocker.

    After the game Northey walked to that goal square to see if that surface was substandard.

    Feeling a bit ill today but last home game of the season will do my darndest to get there and distance appropriately.

    There in 2 

    The way to deal with a young team like this is to hit them harder around the contest than they have been getting hit recently. Second last round I reckon they could put the queue in the rack if we make it very uncomfortable for them from the jump.

    If we let them play the way they're wanting to play this could go very badly for us.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
