It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

I actually am thinking towards seasons end in terms of just show me something (I think we’re actually we’re actually working towards to be in place by seasons end) to make go yep I can see it. The result whilst I want to win is secondary

We're talking game style here and ability to execute it? And specifically, the back to front slingshot transition, winning whilst conceding territory or...?

Yes I can see the slingshot quick through the corridor movement were looking for setting up deeper than pressing up and locking it in with repeated entries as our only plan.  I really like it, looking forward to 25 in a similar vein to seeing us develop our team defence in 20. But you never know we may progress quicker than expected 

Can’t sleep

Gonna be a long day

only 14 hours to go! 😬

Well this is a big one. 

I'm not sure how good the Scats are but ... neither am I certain how good we are. Consequently, your good old Uncle Bitter is sallying forth from The Manor tonight to find an answer.

I believe we will win this game on the strength of our superb defenders.

Dawkins has been quiet of late and , you would think due to fire, but if he escapes any flailing elbows, May will be too good.

There's been speculation about who takes care of Cameron but I reckon it has to be Tmac. He has the tank to run with him and the body work and nous to counter Cameron's expected advantage in agility.

Our mids will win ( Danger out helps ) and surely Viney is due for a big bone crunching impact game.

Forwards ??? Hopefully Petty finally finds some form and some goals. I'm not sure about Disco yet but if he can snag a couple in this setting we will know a lot more. Hopefully one, or ideally both of the above get into the game early as it will take some heat off Fritta and allow him to do what he does best.  He is our key forward.

Kozzie, as always, will have the defenders on edge and a couple of goals from the mids will also be welcome.

PS. Rohan is a prime goose.

Dees by 19 !!!

It's strictly perverts only fd .

I really want to beat the Cats. Seeing them 7-0 and sitting pretty on top of the ladder is nauseating.

But to give the devil is due they are very well coached, have been executing their game plan superbly and in Jeremy Cameron have the most damaging player in the comp. It will be a tough assignment.

Would be a perfect time for Petty to rediscover his form. He has been a shadow of himself since returning from injury

I'm not confident but with some luck we might just get over the line.

Dees by 10 

Oh dear this is a big game.

That confidence I had of yesteryear is slowly diminishing.

If we win this it will be back in time for the blues game.

Come on Petty remind us why were worried about you being poached.

And Jvr we give you the roo chant so can you please clunk a few more.

A must win game for genuine flag contention.

Us by 5.

What a way to start Game Day. Reading the Age's back page lead article this morning on big Max. Greatest ruckman of this century says Luke Darcy (with Cox), and has most AA selections of any ruckman, level with Madden and Cox.

Nice one Max.

But leadership qualities to go with it.  Like watching Petracca and co its a blessing to be watching this team and probably a generational talent pool of a players group.

Worth a pre-game read to settle the nerves.

spelling mistakes

Am I the only one that would have BBB in for Petty??


From the parts of last nights game I did see, I saw two teams move the ball very quickly and Collingwood kick to an open fwd line and back their players in 1 on 1. We always seem very congested, I’d like to see that change tonight.

we cause the congestion so unfortunately you will see it again tonight

Time to step up or shut up.  Time to deliver.  Cats are a top team.  Strengths across the park.  Genuine superstar in Cameron.   We need to show that we are still a serious contender.  All the recent news is about the Cats, Blues, Giants, Swans, Power, ‘Pies are back’, ‘Bombers are rising’ and we are forgotten.   We are not to be forgotten.  Lift.  Trac.  Clarry.  JV7.  This will be a pressure cooker. Finals like atmosphere.  A big game. Let’s show that we’re not a falling star and have plenty of talent and determination left. Go Dees. Fire up 🔥 


Game day baby. Pumped!

I just watched round 4, 2021 at the G v cats. May went off early after a Hawkins “accidental” elbow to the face. We still won.

Good times. Go Dees! 

See you at the G.

Agree but I remain hopeful.

Im not holding my breath!

 

Our last game was appaling but the moggies are due for a loss.

Need our best players playing well to win, if Clarry, Trac and Viney can get going to their normal standards we’ll go close, then we just need to hold Cameron and we should have done enough

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
