Just finishing off a little soiree at The Manor. Good night all round and enjoying lashings for desert.

After a quick kip, your good old Uncle Bitter will be up and about to watch the Dees clean up the Doggies.

The highlight for me today will be, Kozzie's return, Clarrie's improvement from last week's run and Max bouncing back.

I'm also keen for Hore to go well - as I thought he was stiff when de listed.

The Dogs are no mugs and if the Dees are a bit off it could be dangerous 

DEES by 27 points.

Need the win. 0-2 start not ideal.

The doggies, however, are our bunnies. We'll be much better today and will win this one.

Max, Clarry, Trac and Fritschy to the fore.

Forecast to be a beautiful day. Looking forward to getting along to the G with my boy to cheer on the red and blue.

Go Dees

 

We’re heading to Tassie for a week or two and today we’ll be in Geelong. So I’ll be watching the game at the Sporting Globe. 
🙏Don’t ruin my holiday before it starts, Demons. 🙏

dont worry its th bag

Pumped. Game day baby!

see you at the G

go Dees. 

Today we’ll find out if we’re a challenger this year. Dry weather football at the G. No weather excuses, and barring some unforeseen injury crisis, we’ll get a proper look.

 

wont be easy today, not super confident but hoping we are good enough to get over the line....Demons by under 10 points

Well here we all are again.

Laughter or tears.

Praise or criticism.

I'm not very confident but I'm glad footy is back.

As Uncle Bitters mentioned, good to see Kozzie back.

Us by elevensees.

( Maybe).

You know you can't drive to tassie I assume? 

 

We have a car load coming to the game today, I am really looking forward to being back at the G surrounded by familiar faces and watching our regulars and newbies have a great game. Really interested in seeing how our boys respond to our off season issues. Dees by 30 in a hard fought tussle. Bring it on Dees.!!!

Playing for the Mitch Hannan cup.

I heard it was renamed the Triple-H: Harmes-Hunter-Hannon Cup. 🤷‍♂️

Today it’s all about Gussy.

No one deserves a celebration of their incredible career more than our Gus.

We have Gussy helmets for sale ($20) at the back of Bay M3 from 11:45am ‘til 20 mins before the first bounce. Not many left but we’re hoping to sell them all as the entire proceeds will go to the Danny Frawley Foundation, very close to Gussy’s heart.

❤️💙

Aside from wanting the win keen to see how we play in what looks to be perfect conditions. Reading the Casey match day thread and looking at today’s team we really don’t have much depth if any. We need a dream run with injuries this year. The Swans and Giants have shown the competition what’s required, what have we got?

Really need Ben brown to have a good game because Petty is no where near ready. Worries me if he kicks 0 this week and doesn’t even look half decent

I thought it would be the Cross Cup after Daniel.  
 

We have the perfect trophy collecting dust.

Kicking 0 but competing and not letting his opponent take an intercept mark is a pass for me. Bring it to ground and let Kozi, Fritta, Tracc and the gang get to work. It's a week to week proposition, as we see how his body holds up to the rigours of the game in 2024

Yep, needs to lead away from Fritta and JvR and take a key defender with him

Couple of marks and a goal or two is a big win

Yes, just worried about being to tall, and no cohesion with 5 ins...

Also our talls are nowhere near as mobile as theres

😊

We all need to wear this against Collingwood on KB. Now that would make a statement 

 

not confident at all; not overly bothered tbh about the result - it's all about the 'process'

it's a long, long season this year - footy has started at least a month too early - and imo we won't be up and going until midway through the year 

My red & blue heart ALWAYS says the Dees.  Not exactly sure what my head is telling me this morning, but I’ll attribute the lack of clarity to last night’s red wine and cognac.  Dees by 11 points!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • 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.
