    Reckon we'll probably lose tonight and again next week off the five day break.

    Only reason I'm posting this is because I have a habit of always being wrong in my tips.

    Yeah he’s certainly a barometer. If he plays at his best and does the midfield heavy lifting, Trac becomes more of a forward threat and we invariably win.

    Not happy about the five day break.

    If you want to know how the game will go, i’ll fill you in:

    we will play tough strong footy. blood sweat and tears will slowly move the ball fwd through stoppages and eventually get a goal after 10 minutes of pressure

    Cats will then get a goal on the rebound in 15 seconds

    and repeat

    Yes, expect a Cats rebound score or two. We will need to be in front, score-wise, a ready; particularly, ready to rebound a few goals ourselves in response. Who is going to be our forward line surprise package, tonight?

    And unfortunately Rohan not the sub for them. Typical he picks tonight to return.

    Edit - the afl site changed the sub from a Clark to Rohan (unless my eyes were playing tricks on me!)

    AFL site has Rohan as sub.


    I know it sounds slightly desperate, because it is. JVR in the warm ups was not clunking his marks (most likely never does).

    In order to win tonight, we need most of our players ‘on’.  We need our home crowd ‘on’ as well.

    Nerrrvous as hell, but GO DEES

    If any one gets a chance or wants to fill in time before games & this is probably more aimed at mcc members, you should visit the mcc museum down below. They've put in a really nice section on the Melbourne footy club, both men's and womens

    Little bit disappointed in Bill being the sub, thought he showed enough for a full game.

    Maybe Woey is in for tagging role?


    @WalkingCivilWar question for you as figured you'd know. Actually, two...  🙂

    1. Why is our banner always significantly larger than the opposition's, both width and height? Are our crew just significantly more talented than everyone else and go above an beyond the expected standard each week?

    2. Why is the banner no longer lifted, dropped, rotated, lifted, dropped...etc, so everyone around the ground can see what it says? Are we worried about a 2018 GF Filth banner type situation?

    Nothing wrong with a large erection.

    This game should be treated like a Final. Push them to the Limit Demons. 
    They are visiting sacred ground 

    Smash them at every opportunity 

    I HATE Jeeelong

    I think Rohan is more dangerous as the sub.

    Not a great turnout so far 


    Geelong by 13 points unfortunately. 
     

    They’re looking extremely slick and like they have too many players in awesome form compared to us. 
     

    Really really hope I’m wrong. Will be a cracking bloody game!

     

    Cmon Dees 😈

    If Jeeelong win by 13 points it certainly won’t be a cracking bloody game. 
    We need to turn it on…

    Nothing less

    I’m tipping us to dominate stoppages and apply huge forward half pressure and win easily.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
