  • 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.

    All we have to do is play Freed from Desire as the team runs out and the Bulldogs will be so distracted with annoyance they won't be able to play well 🤪

    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.

    It was pretty convivial aboard my Watergardens train post game. They know we own them. We know we own them. What's to argue about?

    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.

    • 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?
