Getting within 5 goals of them at their home ground would be considered a win for us tonight. Let's hope it's not another blowout near 100 points.

Our season is over, we're now in rebuild mode and playing kids, but we don't want to completely shatter the morale and psyche of the players, as with a decent off season we can jump back up and be competitive next season. It's a fine line to tread to extract top draft picks without ruining the club in the process.

Flew in last night… Gonna to be a long night methinks. Already have some pre game drinks sorted at The Pineapple And Ze German Club… any other recommendations?
Its  not even midday and have seen around 10 people with their Melbourne tops on, biceps glistening in the warm sunshine up here ☀️

You make it sound so poetic. I’d say it’s late June and I’m sunburnt and wtf is up with that?! Do they even have a winter here?

Good spot.

Enjoy!


It feels like about 30 degrees here in Victoria as well.  Alas, that is in Fahrenheit.

Perhaps Sparra to run with Zorko ?

Chin with Ashcroft . 
If Oliver tagged too heavily swap him with Kossy.    Is there a plan C or D ?

Berry's had the edge over Clarry for a while now if my memory serves me correctly.

I'd play Clazz up forward alot more, about 50/50.

His recent form is a mile off his usual level anyways so i'd just sacrifice it and ask the 2nd/3rd stringers to step up like Rivers, Sparrow (looked a tad better than previous games in the middle last week), ANB & a little from Koz.

Koz shldn't be playing more than approx 20% in the middle imo as it robs us of an extra goal or so and we lose the best i50 pressure guy when he aint there.  38% CBA% so far this season (vs 11% in 2023) is over kill for mine.

Fingers crossed.

Our senior players have a real responsibility now - to augment, lead and encourage the young 'uns' coming into the side against all odds. These new players will benefit from the experience and the increasing identity with the MFC; it is hoped that they can grasp the challenge ahead, making good impact on our successful re-build and return to form. Go get 'em, boys!

Well if we get up tonight I will have had a great day, golf , kayaking and fishing in Narooma and just read there is doubt about BT’s future on CH7. Hopefully we find some form and cause a massive upset.

Agreed. Though it's hard for the youngsters to be enthused when they're dropped after debut games on limited minutes... The selection committee has been poor this season.

As for tonight, I'm hoping to see more promising signs from Van Rooyen. He's looked likely since returning from concussion, and with Payne out he will have less tall defenders crowding his path if the ball is moved with speed. He's a pillar of our future, so his progress will be one of the few shining lights going forward in this disappointing season.

Won last week, hoping we make it two in a row.

We got the jump on North and if we can get a good start against the Lions we will be right in it.

They have mental pressure on them as well, pushing for the eight, being favourites and at home. They could crack!

I reckon we have always been a better away from home team. One day we will dominate the “G”, till then these away games are important to win.

Play as a cohesive team, make it easier for each other, be clean with the ball, and fight for everything.

Expecting a return to our best, a season defining game!

Go Dees!

Wonder if Petty will fire up tonight... 🤣

Just kidding, he'll be loping around, thoroughly disinterested and completely [censored] useless!

this sort of comment does such a disservice to the ol' #8 yr username was inspired by

petty was huge in the last two minutes last week - pack mark following pup's big tackle, then great workrate to be last man back defensively as they pressed again in final minutes

i'd say yr the useless one, not the 24 year old premiership player

Our only hope is to make this a low scoring slog, now that Lever is back in.

If we let the Lions pile on a big score, we are absolutely going to get smashed.

I am desperately worried about our midfield getting pantsed tonight. We need a massive game from Viney and Clarry if we are any chance.

Crazy thing is... the ladder is so tight, if we somehow snatched a win tonight and got the job done against West Coast at home next week, that Saturday night game against the Bombers would become a big game again, and we could jump them.

Sadly with our inexperience and form we could lose all three, but I can dream. Ruining the Bombers season is one of the few things I can hope for in the rest of 2024.

Hopefully he gives more than 2 minutes tonight 

Perhaps a full game down back will do the trick... 🤷‍♂️

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
