[censored] imagine life as a Dockers fan and watching them play.

Spent my whole life as a melbourne supporter, I don't have to imagine.
And our gameplan while somewhat effective is ugly AF and a tough watch.
And that's if we're playing well.
Every game is a grind .... For me as well.
Goodwin is wasting the careers of our guns and the best big marketing opportunity we've had for 59yrs playing boring unattractive footy.
If this club wants to survive long term we've got to get bums on seats, eyes on TVs, which will excite and expand the membership base and create more lucrative sponsorships.
We've got to entertain the mob.
Not bore them to tears using a rugby union type maul for the gameplan.

There, I said it.
Rant Over.

The Crows will at the very least scare the pants off the Blues.

Upset brewing

dont tell anyone

just call me NostraDubis

Blues are below us on the ladder

😂😂


Today’s games are meh. Next week we have some beauties, while we rest up.

Is Tex Walker the most overly relied on player in the league? It feels like for a few years now, unless Tex has a good game, Adelaide won’t win.

That was just amazing! What a finish, and finally Carlton is on the wrong side of a nail-biter. YAY 🥳

Soz @No. 31!

 

 

 

Except sooooo not soz it hurts 😂

The Blues pooped on the Navy Blue bedsheets last night. Allowed a mediocre Crows team a lifeline for this season when we could have ripped out their black little Crom hearts. I hate the Crows! lol

I was at a wedding last night and only was able to catch parts of it. Watched the last few minutes on my phone at the wedding reception 🤦‍♂️

Will subject myself to the replay over morning coffee ... bitter tasting coffee 😁

Injuries are mounting and its a tough block in the fixture list coming up (GWS, Geelong, C'Wood, Dees & Swans away) ... will really test us ...

You’re brave @No. 31

I have a hard rule of never watching the replay of a loss.

Is it getting worse over the years @Demon Dynasty? Mine is.

No just last night QD.

I worked out you have to turn battery option to 'unrestricted' in the Kayo app so it can permanently run at optimum in the background when your phone screen is shut down while streaming.

Didnt help last night though.  I suspect a recent buggy update.  Will probably get fixed with next update.

Well it wasn't a 50 point pasting (I would probably give that a miss), a close loss where we kicked 14 points, want to see what we did wrong (curses at the tv ... 😁).

Carlton fans booing the umpires when they’ve had one less free for the game, but 4 goals from very questionable frees.

My least favourite supporters by a mile.

Collingwood supporters will boo that comment!

Never mind the Blues losing to Adelaide… you have friends who plan a wedding in footy season? Harsh.

This is the way 

Same here. I don’t watch any of the footy programs either. It frees up a ton of time for other things, such as sulking. 


Right now it feels like GWS, Port, Fremantle, Carlton and Geelong are all legitimate flag contenders.

For whatever reason, IMO the jury's still out on Sydney. I can't shake their fortnight of a loss to Richmond then trailing West Coast for a half. But you can probably add them to the list.

That's six sides before you get to Brisbane, Collingwood or us.

It's a pretty strong year at the top, IMO.

It doesn't help us that we have each of Brisbane, Collingwood, Port and Fremantle twice each.

i've have flagmantle out of that group and us in; they keep dropping close ones

Don’t disagree about us. Just noting there’s a stack of clubs outside of us and last year’s grand finalists who appear legit this year.

definitely

other than the three stragglers down the bottom, it's a very even competition

so much is reliant upon good luck with injury and being in good form when it counts

  • 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?
