Lever not in your best 22?

I still understand your point tho. We should win today. No excuses. 

Forgot Lever.

 

 

It will be very interesting to see how the players approach this game from an attitude perspective. I know last week they weren’t happy about the standard of accommodation and ground facilities (maybe sending a message to the club?), and played accordingly. Unprofessional you could argue. Another mediocre performance today, and it will be time to change something.

I have no idea where you got that intel from, but regardless, professional footballers making very good money shouldn’t be having a go at the club and putting up a stinker of a performance, because they aren’t staying at the Ritz. We won a flag when the players were in a hub for weeks on end. 


Freo played the same ground and probably stayed in the same or similar accommodation. Managed to win by 90+ points to keep their finals chances alive. 
 

If that really is the reason for the loss, and I very much doubt it is, then we have far bigger problems.

    I still remember last year when they beat us in the later round & as we we were leaving the ground some dim wit Collingwood feral yells out Melbourne fans can catch the train to Mount Buller station.  

    I didn't have the energy to tell him it doesn't exist.

    I just can't see how the Dees will kick a winning score. Forward line is a mess.

    I put money on the filth. I hope to lose that money.

    Well all now the first 1 minutes if Melbourne are going to turn up.

    Our bottom 6 players will determine if we win today.

    Billings, Laurie, Turner, Howe’s, Chandler & Tom “Free Fallin” Petty.

    What odds did you get for the team you despise the most? 
    A lot of money has come for the Dees the last 12 hrs.

    I got on at $1.94 last week. They went to $1.90 (favourites), but now $1.96.

    Demons now $1.84 on Sportsbet.

     


    Magpies have 7 top liners out. 

    we have 1

    We should win easily

    unless we play heartless footy like last week

    We will learn a lot today. Another meek performance and we've got a long road to hoe. 

    A genuine four qtr effort needed. Guts and determination before all else.  

    Go dees 

    Apparently Howe is playing forward

    Finally playing where he was recruited to play

    I'm sure we could all pass the hat and soften the blow( not on Maynard of course,).

    I'm not sure the lads will go after Maynard today. It will be interesting to see what will happen. Have they been given directions to just play the ball or will Goody use the incident to rev them up?

    There is the distinct possibility weim i will be sidetracked by the Maynard thing but it will probably be worth it. A blokes career was stolen from him so it warrants recompense. My monies on JV or JvR and a rare outburst from CP. 

     

    Would be great to see him flattened but in reality the real revenge is in winning the game, otherwise they'll be in their rooms singing their song and we'll be doing whatever losers do

    my favourite riposte to the 'buller' jokes is always "PLEASE! MFC fans don't ski LOCAL!! it's aspen in february and then japan post-season, you philistine!!"

    From a source very close to the players. And yes we do have much bigger problems

    Win and we go back into finals contention and top 8.

    Lose against a depleted Collingwood and we make the journey towards September even harder. 

    Up to the players now.

    If that is the cause of last weeks performance that is as soft as butter and an absolute disgrace, surely not the cause.

    The biggest question of the day, when is @WalkingCivilWar going down the slide???

    As of an hour ago WCW quietly selling sausages at the Town Square, well maybe not so quietly.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
