This is me every single week and has been for the past seven or so years. Hot tip: it doesn’t always work. No amount of $ can make up for a loss. 😢

I thought you would be the one who runs out and gives the player a bum rub even when not needed

Then realised I’ve got another two in my bag and cans aren’t allowed in so right now I’m outside the G smashing another two (don’t judge me). I’ll be the one pingin’ off the walls tonight, win or lose 😂

A drunk red head at the game. GET WCW ON THE GROUND! 
 

We have needed some grunt and anger on field in recent weeks. 
 

WCW to get 200 pressure points in the first 10 minutes on her own, then sub her out afterwards. She will tire quickly…

    We must win. That is all.

    But looking forward to seeing what Brown does and koltyn hopefully contributes

    The roos' pressure and contest has been good, but they lack the fitness to maintain it for four quarters.

    I doubt we'll be fully wound up, but the roos are coming of a six day break and we're coming off a bye.

    I think the roos will either come out flat, or come up out with good intensity but fade.

    Dees by 43 points.

    I thought you said North at the line looked good?

    I find myself unable to stop rueing the Petty, Melksham and Brayshaw injuries at the end of last year. I reckon we'd be holding a second Cup and sitting comfortably inside the top 4 right now had those 3 never got injured. Instead the Pies are holding another Cup, Brayshaw has retired, Petty is a shadow and Melksham hasn't fired a shot. So tonight I sit and watch a game against and up and coming young team and can't decide whether i care more about 2024 or about the draft for 2025. Then there's the salt being ground into my wounds by watching Grundy and JJ ripping it up for the top team who can't buy an injury and are flying, Dane Swan's in the HOF and Carlton and Essendon are both above us. Sheesh that's some depressing football mood right there.

    For those in the Eastern suburbs travelling in by train tonight, heads up that buses are replacing trains on the Lilydale line. Go Dees.

    Those words that true Melbournians hate to hear. Buses are replacing trains on the …..line and the umpire for todays game is Matthew Nicholls

    Just for a laugh after the results so far this round it is possible that a reasonable win tonight could be worth as much as six spots on the ladder and likely five. Going ahead of Geelong, Port, Footscray, Brisbane, one of the Dockers or Suns, and if things get really bloody, Western Sydney.

    Wild times.

    We need to be brutal at the contest today. Enough is enough. 

    It'd be more helpful to focus on skill, not brutality.

    A good reminder of one thing we call agree on - the ladder doesn't lie.

    You are truly a Demonland Treasure.

    JVR for 5 and Kossie for 3... and Melbourne to kick 10 goals 15.

    Nah HQ always had the Pies winning. They would have found another way.

    Brown as sub really doesn’t sit right with me. I think this is a very poor move by the footy department.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
