*What you mean β€˜we’ kemo sabe?

Some of us are brimming with confidence. Delusional? Probably. But at the first bounce it’s a clean slate for both sides. Either side can win. Trust that we will win.

*Tonto to the Lone Ranger (Google it) πŸ˜ƒ

But I thought you always bet on the opposition?

Β 

This feels like kind of a watershed game for us. Win and we maintain our top four contention. Lose and we are looking at deep poo.

    I do. But that has no bearing on who I think will win. I do it to soften a loss even though I go into every week expecting a win. It’s the cushion effect. πŸ‘πŸ½

    I reckon you’d be better betting on us when we are underdogs, smarter strategy

    If the Saints are less than six goals up by the time we wake up half way through the second I'm confident we'll run them down.Β

    No, not someone.

    Thousands of people, including professional punters risking serious coin, have backed us to win, which explains why we are 1.33 to win.Β 

    Of course that doesn't mean we will - you only have to go to one harness meeting to understand 1.33 favourites can get rolled.

    But the thing I like about the betting market is we punters do our best to strip out emotion and be as objective as possible.

    After all it's cold hard cash on the line not a throw away prediction or a lead tipping comps.

    (And even if there are some emotion driven punters adding a drip to the pool, a big chunk of them are probably woe us us dees fans backing the saints)

    Which is why the betting market is by far the best predictor of the probable outcome of any given match.

    Β 

    Betting on the favourites is a sure way to end up bust too!

    It’s not about money though. Yes there’s money involved but a Demons win with winnings is exactly the same as a Demons win without winnings, to me anyways. Besides, if it hasn’t been proved already, this season proves that the whole underdog thing means nothing.Β

    Either our mids are not following the game plan or our mids coach Mcqualter has no idea

    I always look at quotes to reactions ratio to gauge a posters propensity to put forward outlandish statements… whilst you are entitled to your opinion, the ratio stacks up well.

    Oh, and Membrey and Stewart Lowe to kick 10 each…

    What are the chances we come out breathing fire?

    First quarters are our worst. 88% percentage

    Puts us behind the 8 ball. Gives other teams a sniff.Β

    Come on guys and gals… the sun is shining, our boys are pumped and ready to rock, and they need us to show β€˜em some love and support.

    Reawaken your inner 10yo! (Personally mine never slept, still never does😝). Even if you think your inner 10yo is pretty much comatose, rouse that lil kid and muster some hope and enthusiasm!!!

    YOU CAN DO IT!!!

    Yeah I know but at least if we’re not expected to win and we do you get double enjoyment!

    St Kilda by 10. As usual, we will be goals down at quarter time, then playing catch up for the rest of the game. Too many players either not up to it or out of form, or both. Sadly, Essendon, GWS, Fremantle have gone ahead of us. Sydney, Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane were ahead of us anyway, and Port Adelaide too due to their massive home ground advantage. Like Geelong, I think our window has closed. Our midfield stinks at the moment, without Lever and reliant on TMac and Tomlinson our backline is shaky at best. Petty is non invested, JVR needs to kick goals, it is what he is in the team for. Thank god for Bayley, will probably end up with 50 plus for the year. Oliver not fit, Viney getting to that stage where the decline starts, Tracc can’t be everywhere. Windsor a positive, probably needs to consider his options come 2026. Would be an absolute gun in a top team. McVee is class. Not much else really.

    Posters are allowed to have an opinion and you can’t blame them if they’re pessimistic given our recent form.

    im not confident but hoping for the win. Will continue to support the boys irrespective of the result.

    This is my concern.

    Something NQR at the moment, like its all just a bit of a chore...

    Think we will get done. Last week we looked like a tired side unable to have a go at arresting a deficit against ordinary opposition. The hunger does not seem to be there.

    Hope I am wrong.

    Need a massive improvement from last week and some of our "2nd tier" players to step up.

    We should control the midfield but conversion will be the worry.

    • 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.Β 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.Β 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 β€˜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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
