  • The dees have caused us problems since 2021 and we need to arrest their dominance over us.
  • There's one thing we have going for us - it was reported last year that the side had discussed the Melbourne problem at some length since the most recent loss (Rd 1 2023) and are determined not to be Melbourne's b@#$%^& any more.
  • Our team is vastly improved on paper where Melbourne has arguably gone backwards. They still have the best backline in the league in my opinion but we absolutely should be able to get them this year.
  • Dogs by 21. JUH to kick a bag.
  • We need Lobb to play May defensively. If we can do this we are big chance to win.
  • I can't see how this Melbourne forward line could kick a winning score.
  • Fritsch worries me the most. Lock away him and Pickett and we win.
  • Their forward line looked abysmal so they might try McDonald this week.
  • I’d be surprised if Schache survives that game, he was no good. Dees had no aerial impact up forward. McDonald and Fullerton were both emergencies and I imagine one or both come in with Schache out.
  • Their marking forwards don't bother me at all. Their ground ball game does concern me.
  • A lot of grubby ground balls coming in from Sydney, May and Lever didn’t have much influence.
  • They'll drop Schache for McDonald or Sideshow Bob ... or both. And floppy Bob usually bumbles his way to a few flukey goals
  • Would love to see one of our boys clean up that campaigner Pickett for once.
  • Picket? phtttt. This is the game that fritsch circles on his calendar. Someone needs to make fritch their b*&^%$.
  • I’d bank on Harmes tagging Petracca. He always cuts us up.
  • Fritsch kicked six on us in a grand final, with Brown McDonald and Jackson kicking a collective 6 as well. Last year Brown kicked 4 on us and so did Pickett though we were a shambles, worse than 2022 where Brown kicked 3.
  • Well last year I had to watch Alex Keath try and run down Pickett right in front of my seats in the cheer squad so there’s already one scenario that isn’t happening this year.
  • Rather Demons have won the other night, they will be super hungry to prove a point.

    There's been a significant rivalry pop up bw us and the dogs lately.

    May it continue with us beating them by 27 points.

    Our mids to dominate with Jv best on ground and Kozzie to have a picnic.

    Maybe I'm as deluded as some of these comments?

    Ps don't answer.

    Agree with him but we somehow landed 100 points on Carlton the other week (albeit a practice match)

    Typical week on Demonland after a loss eh...

    How lucky are they AFL as a junket organisation, that the majority fans are so emotionally attached to meaning of one single game and the fortunes of the club, that they spend thousand of dollars of membership each year and 10's of millions on punting annually.

    They've curated it well.

    As long as Beverage is coach we will own them. We are so far in his head since 21 that it reminds me of when Malthouse coached Carlton and all he wanted to do was beat Collingwood.

    We broke the Dogs. Haven’t been the same since that grand final humiliation in 2021. 
    Bevo lost the absolute plot too after that one.

    We certainly broke "Premiership Hero" Eastonwood, who immediately retired after Fritsch kicked 6 on him

    They did alot of banking on the weekend doggie supporters for f k all in return.

    How they think they have improved has got me well and truely puzzled to use a polite term.

    On there way to centerlink they go for their next cheque.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
