We have enough experience to help us win a few more games. I'd be really disappointed if we went winless from here to end the season. I hope we give them a show tonight.

    Not sure their 5 day break will be enough to get us up. Just had a look at Dogs previous game off a 5 day break. Lost to the Swans at Marvel 88-102 in round 11. Not bad as the Swans were flying then.

    Last chance saloon for us. Their 5 day break, after an interstate trip, after being in Geelong the week prior, gives us some sort of edge, but on current form this doesn’t look great. If we lapse in the middle two quarters like we did last week, we’re no chance.

    We came back from Perth on a 6 day break last week it probably cost us a win in the end.

    They've been receiving all the plaudits and pats on the back from all and sundry.

    We are in with a massive shout, hard to get over a hoo‐doo, especially off a 5 day break.

    Key to this game is the start and and to stay level pegging with them until the last, we can run over them especially in the last 10 mins of the final quarter.

    Expecting a massive response from El Capitano, Kozzie, Fritta  and Sparrow.

    Swans were terrible that night.

    We have always matched up well against them.

    Can we kick a score to win?

    I think we are really up against Muhammad Ali.  Was it the rumble in the jungle

    And he gave out a whipping

    Foreman went in as the clear favourite (Footscray) and Ali (Melbourne) knocked out Foreman in the eighth round.

    Im going but not sure I am going to have an enjoyable night....I think Dogs by about 25-35 (hope Im wrong though!)

     

    I'm bracing myself for a thumping tbh but hoping for the best of course. Dogs off a five day break should help but they have their tails up right now. 

    Dogs by 4-5 goals is the safe bet. They're the form team of the competition at present and should get the job done at Marvel. 

    Hoping to see our kids show a bit again. Would love strong games from Kolt, Rivers, Disco, JVR.

    So much material they could use as a front page and the AFL choose to have a go at us like this. Gutter journalism.

    Didn’t see this kind of hatchet job when the Tigers got 19k for a Giants game…

    The media in this country, outside of a few notable exceptions, is garbage. Fake news. Once you realise this it becomes much easier to ignore their nonsense

    Current news statements:

    1. A poor turnout of Dees fans showed up to an MCG home game against a reasonable matchup

    2. Dees fans are probably less likely to rock up to a Marvel game against a less favorable matchup

    Can’t see us winning the midfield battle at all which will lead to a heap of entries and ultimately the win for them. My confidence in McQualter is waning and I don’t think he has any tricks up his sleeve.

    I know the Dogs are our bunnies but I reckon Trac has been BoG in probably 3 of the last 4 against them which also doesn’t help.

    Just FYI no one at the Herald Sun tipped us except for the Kiss of Death. According to them we’re the biggest underdog of the round.

    What a beautiful sunny winter’s morning here in Melbz. A perfect morning to wallow in defeatism, amirite guys???

    LOLS I get it that not everyone is as deluded as I am. 😅

    This is how I see it: every match is winnable, there’s no such thing as a foregone conclusion. At the first bounce both teams are on the same score, no one gets a head start.

    Anyways we have every chance of winning, and I know we can. Moreover, I think we will!!!

    GIVE ‘EM HELL, DEMONS!

    SHOW NO MERCY!!!

    Break out the defibrillators y’all…Dees by Rooey - 2 pts 😁

     

    PS I’ve implemented a self-imposed ban from DL in the event of a loss. Postgame thread is a no-go until at least 24-36 hours afterwards, by which time I should be able to read posts without wanting to punch someone in the throat. 😁

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
