    Tonight is for our Fallen Brother!

    Like a vigil? The cliff edge where the digger was shot?

    Maybe we can just win it for him.

    For some reason the idea of bringing Tomlinson into the team and playing May forward keeps coming to mind. It's left field, but all the other options are underwhelming....

    If he didnt have a big left hook on his kicking AND we had a close replacement i reckon it would've been given some consideration Bingo

    Appears we are going with Disco for JVR this week.

    As Gary Lineker recently said on his podcast “when I went to Barcelona I was chasing and tackling and the players stopped me at half time and said ‘what are you doing, you’re here to score goals.’ I said to myself ‘I’ll have a bit of that’ but when I came back to Spurs I had to do that nonsense again!”

    Not worthy of a new topic, however, would like to know if people think this group of players gets a bit of stage fright early in front of big hostile crowds at the G?

    I know they’ve got Grand final experience (albeit at Optus) but it seems that whenever we play in front of a large MCG crowd against a another big Victorian team we start poorly.

    Some recent examples:

    Round 6: Richmond ANZAC eve - poor start

    Round 13 - Collingwood KBD - poor start

    Round 22 - Carlton - poor start

    QF - Collingwood - poor start.

    I know we had finals wins in 2018 but Geelong and Hawthorn crowds don’t have the same level of goading and intimidation as a Pies/Blues/Richmond crowd. 

    I don't thinks so only by the unfortunate stat that we have started poorly in quite a few others.

    I admire our fight backs but it's frustrating that we are putting ourselves in these positions.

    But kudos for attempting to explain them. It's quite strange.

    Once again we are mentally and physically falling apart in September.

    2021 was a blessed year... shame it happened 9000km away from most of our supporters.

    Great pickup RPFC. That old English work rate!

    Also didn't know he had a pod.

    Goodwin will have to be forced into playing Grundy he doesnt like change and will resist it he should have realized earlier Max cannot do it on his own and played Grundy against Collingwood just like his idea of a Forward Line he wont admit that he was wrong i blame him entirely

    My understanding is that Gawn has had this for a few weeks now and just has a needle pre match.

    Yes but if he goes down we only have TMac or Joel Smith to ruck. Grundy has to play

    And it should be said Grundy is an 2xAA Team member and a 2x Copeland Trophy winner.

    If he is picked he will go nuts wanting to play in a Prelim and a GF

    He is primed.

    If he isn't picked that will tell us a fair but more about Goody

    If only we had some other ideas as to using players........

    Amazing to see him up and about! 
    It truly is sad how little I care about this season now. I just want Gus to be ok.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      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.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
