This is not going to be a walk over. The only certain win right now is West Coast. We have to come out and start well to take the crowd out of the equation

Like we did last week vs port?

Half of Adelaide actIng like it’s Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Elton John and Pink in one big mega-show. The other half are all, oh that football thing is on now, is it? What’s it called… The Gathering? (A woman actually said that to me. 😅)

My beautiful, bossy, molto talented wife is Polish. When I told the woman at Europa cakes in Carnegie that my wife is Polish, she replied, Polish girls keep you on your toes. I replied, But I'm not a ballerina!

The best traditional (jam style) donuts in Melb.

The piece de resistancee... the plum jam filling 👌🏻

Not to be confused with the hot (ball) jam donuts at the footy et al whIch are also pretty special.

 

Nah no walkovers this week. Getting a win alone will be a pretty good achievement against a mob who is desperate and in their own park.

Probably thought we were card nerds or something.

This game and West coast are probably our best chances for 100 point win.    Other teams will do it to them so we have to as well.   Percentage could be king at end of season.  Fill your boots Dees!!

Lol, you're kidding right?

I'll eat my hat if we win by 100.

Hunter, Laurie, Spargo, AMW, Woewodin, Fullarton, Tholstrup, Melksham, Tomlinson, McAdam, Adams, Brown, Turner, Sestan all are attempting to break into the side. It's funny when you're winning, even your depth looks fantastic. It was less than a month ago I was bemoaning our thin list. :) 

That's because you flip flop, ya duffer.

I think I'm the most nervy when people start talking margins as if the win is Fait accompli.

Forget Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Elton and Pink. Whenever I see it written as "The Gathering" I keep thinking of Diana Ross and the Supremes singing "The Happening"

Well I am!

Love a few games of commander with mates before the game.


Quiet on the old boards 90 mins before bounce. You'd think it was a weeknight.

Will miss the first quarter or so of this game travelling on an interstate flight.

The last time something similar happened, I switched onto the footy in my hotel in Perth and saw the MFC amazingly in the game on the scoreboard against Geeeelong at Cat park in Gawn's breakout game.  We know how that turned out!

...hopefully that's an omen.

Spot on.  Flying out tomorrow with two wins from two in the toughest gather round draw for sure (playing both SA teams in a true home ground advantage to them) will be the in-season highlight for me.

A one point win will satisify me.

Our draw BTW is scandalous but predictable AFL stuff up of the important things.

Trying to frantically get everyone fed, showered and [censored] off is a marathon on a Thursday night post work and pre football. 
I absolutely loath Thursday night football. Such an unfriendly fixture for anyone under the age of 70.

  • 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.
