Will be watching this on delay. Cos when the game is being played, my 12yo is playing cricket in Melbourne. Yep, winter cricket, every 2nd Sunday ...

I think the hurricane last year didn’t help 😂

What didn't help was the geniuses in our Brains Trust (sic) who decided to bring in Ben Brown & Grundy on a soaking wet day. It cost us the game & not for the first time.

Very evenly matched with tough assignments all across the ground, and I’m struggling to find a genuine reason why either side should win.
Clutching at straws, but my red and blue heart tells me that our home ground advantage will get us over the line by 7 points.

Just back from France and Portugal. Jet lag had me up at 3am. I’ve had breakfast and read the news, but the game is still 8 hours away. Go Demons.

You better have a nap 


Not sure where our goals will come from.

Petty will need to play well and hit the scoreboard.

Not confident at all. Maybe Kozzie to kick a bag.

I took a leisurely drive to the game in Alice last year.

I know your real name now....   Rob McKenna. A god of rain and perhaps a good shiraz.  Try Simon Clayfield's, you'll love it.

Oops. Nerves got the better of me.

Go Dees!

SN34

Stop serong, help Max

No umpire 15

 

We're good

And mcVee on Young

Our starts have been so poor, but we rarely get blown away. If we are even-ish at the end of the first quarter, I reckon  we win. Fritsch, Kozzie and ANB to do the goal kicking damage. Dees by 16. 

SeeTravelling by train from Sydney to Goulburn, won't arrive till 3 pm we will have to watch on delay. Those at the game help the boys bring it home.


I’m left wondering why this game wasn’t played during Sir Doug Nicholls round?

There was 2 rounds to factor this in. Yet again another poor fixturing conundrum

Woey jnr as sub again.  Is that six times now !!! FFS.  Might as well send him away to another club.  Give him a full game.  Hunter should be sub imv.

it works, as he can play multiple roles

faith in the footy dept

Well I'll only be ablt to see the first quarter so later on when I come home from work I wnat to see 3 things.

A melbourne win, no injuries and Gold coast have beaten essendon


I've done well to avoid David King for most of tgis season.

I just had a reminder why.

On the fox pre coverage King declares the dees 'have been credited with performances they don't necessarily deserve'

What the flying does that actually mean?

HOW GOOD DID OUR BANNER LOOK!!!

Freo didn’t even have a banner, they had a guard of honour. We had a banner AND a guard of honour. Yeah the Dees!!!

The wet patch on the ground is a worry. 
Please no injuries.

  • 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.
