Sorry L but he isn't.  His last few weeks have been bog ordinary.

Might give watching this one a miss to be honest…I go to every game live in Vic but for whatever reason just get too stressed out off the TV

That might be partly due to the way they video it these days.  There are numerous close shots where you only see the ball and maybe 2 players. The ball heads out of shot and you have no idea if it is a brilliant pass to a team mate or a disaster or whatever.  This heghtens the tension and I'm sure it is deliberate by Fox/7 for that reason. Certainy is not of interest to those who want to follow the game.

Not really... he's been pretty poor this year post injury.

Had it not been for Salem's injury I would have dropped him for AMW.

God speed to the ground ball in our back half tonight 

God I’d love an upset in this. Fox are giving us no chance.

 

 

I’ve taken us on the line to get within 34pts plus all of May Viney and Rivers for 20 posessions. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. 😂

And WCW, as an ex Melbournite who cycled rain hail and shine from Sandy to work in Richmond every day, who has been living not far south of the Gabba in the Northern Rivers since 2011, the nights are cold. I’ve a neck warmer on, 3 layers and keep muttering about underfloor insulation for our house risen on poles. I’m in thermal fleece tops on the bike at present! Brrrrrrr

It's a big lions love in on Fox pregame show. Jonathon Brown , al Lynch. Ashcroft is back. Talking top 4 🤮 love to knock these p ricks off

Agreed, big part of our structure downback. Especially as we are playing 4 KPDs in the back. We will miss him.

I think it’s genius selection plan - tall defence to more than combat their strength.

With a flood defence cover for ground ball.

Lots of space for Kossie to play huge.

Can’t wait !

FTB in your dreams mate :)

The boys appear to be 'ON' tonight.

Zero expectations so nothing to lose.

Just loosen the schackles a little Simon and aside from basic defensive structures behind the ball, no + ones early FCS and manic pressure when we don't have the pill.... let the boys play footy mate.

We just might get close and even pull off a miracle win subject to the above.

My prediction Is the Lions will score 5+ goals in q1 3-4 in the first 10 mins and that’ll be the game they won’t let us get closer than that margin. Can’t see a blow out.

Let’s hope we don’t hear John Denver too many times tonight 🤮

Unbelievable. I had to check and make sure that we were actually playing the lions tonight.

works for commentators too. 

 

I’m kind of pumped.

Like, can we actually win this thing or is it just the adrenaline you’d maybe feel in a moment when the plane hits crazy turbulence and starts to nosedive and you don’t know if you’re gonna make it, but maybe you will, and what a story if you do, Wowee, did you leave the iron on at home? Who cares?!

Go Dees ❤️💙

  • 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.
