At least we are not on our own May be an image of crowd and text that says 'NEVER TEAR US APART OUT IN STRAIGHT SETS US OUTIN STRAIGHT SETS OUT IN STRAIGHT SETS OUT IN S OUT IN STRAIGHT SETS OUTIN STRAIGH pdod 109d'

While we are on this topic, is there nothing more cringe watching Port do this every home game to then go out and dish up this type of performance for the night?

    GWS play with no fear. (Unlike us: we seemed mentally fatigued). Maynard certainly would not attempt to poleaxe Toby Greene, he would get his face caved in. Would be excellent to see Collingwood get knocked over after their recent AFL-approved performances.

    If I had told you ten weeks ago both Carlton and GWS would get to the Preliminary finals I'd be still reading the responses.

    I'm proud to say I picked the GWS renaissance before we played them in Round 15 or whenever it was.

    However at quarter time of Carlton v GC at the MCG in June, I thought Carlton were more likely to finish bottom 4 and sack Voss than get anywhere near this far.

    Toby Greene the player most likely to punch/kick/bite Maynard in the throat, so that's a good match-up for next week.

    I could live with a Brisbane/GWS grand final.

    Whatever is further from a Carlton/Collingwood match up. Jusy mopping up the media [censored] would cost the Victorian government more than the Commonwealth Games.

    Edit: I'm surprised that was censored, but concede it was grotty. I leave it to everyone's imagination.

    Right there on board the big, big train now.

    Would pick up the phone to see if Jesse wants to come home. OOC next year.

    Absa-bloody-lutely!

    Despite being labelled as such they are a proper club not a soulless franchise.

    Credit to Kingsley he has Whitfield, Kelly, Coniglio, Ward and Green playing great football. Last year the first three looked like they were going through the motions.

    They have the weapons to worry Collingwood. Fingers crossed.

    Plus they have a cool theme song!

    It's what I am praying for. However, being that I'm an athiest, I'm not confident.  🙄

    Port really did overperform finishing third. Apart from four decent mids (Butters, Rozee, Horny Francis and Drew) plus Houston  and a decent small forward in Rioli what else do they have?

    Orange juice with the pulp (Bedford & Hulk) vs the no pulp alternatives in the filth, Blues or Lions??

    Hard call.  Let me come back to you after a serious mull over....

    Ok done... it's a GIANT yes from me!!

    These concocted pre-game chants, mantras, rock songs and themes (possessed!) do my head in.

    Enter the sandman i think is used by about 80% of clubs as their teams run out.....booooring!  Anything but pls. 

    Maybe Hells Bells or just play a different song that each player gets to choose beforehand?  The theme song on its own.

    Can we just be the Mighty Demons with the caricature up on the screen and the mascots running around taking each other out!!??

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
