WE CAN WIN TONIGHT.

Stranger things have happened… take this entire bizarro season for example. 
 

It would be great to see as many fans there as possible tonight. Rain is not predicted and a top of 18 and sunny is a gift in August. Please turn up if you can. Let’s ensure a decent turnout, if for no other reason than to avoid another What’s Your Excuse? thread.

Seriously. It means the world to the players to know we’re there. 


Replacement buses on our line again, @Rab D Nesbitt 🤬 but that won’t stop us, will it?! Sure, it’ll make us wish we were dead, but it won’t stop us. On a wing and a prayer…

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

 

 

I had fully intended to attend tonight's match.

However, I am instead going to a celebration of life event for Bonnie the cat, who passed away a few days ago at the age of 18. Her owner (a Demons supporter) and her family are heartbroken. I hope that is a good enough excuse.

C'mon Dees ... do it for Bonnie!

    I've reached that calm moment where I accept that the team is depleted and the season is not going to end in triumph. I'll be watching for the small things; little glimpses of talent from the kids which build anticipation for the future, simple moments of football beauty, and surges of sustained pressure and effort which might not last quite long enough but do affirm that we still know how.

    And in that state of mind, we'll probably win and then I'll have to think 'mathematical possibilities' for the final two rounds like 2005 all over again.

    Hi WCW. Fortunately I'm within walking distance of Ardeer station on the Ballarat line as well as a metro line so can avoid the bus. At least on the way in. It wouldn't surprise me if we get rolled in all of our remaining games but we all live in hope.

    Are you hoping for a dead cat bounce?

    Goodwin spoke about the expectations we have for our players when they put on a Melbourne jumper. Let's hope we see those expectations be met by the players tonight.

    I also hope that our supporters show up. While we need the players to show more grit, it would be good if the supporters did the same.

    A win isn't as important as having a proper crack. Last week was just not acceptable.

    I'm bringing some overseas work colleagues that are in town along to see a game of footy. Would be a shame if we don't put up a fight and this game is as one sided as last week.

    That said, we don't chuck in the towel at the G so i expect us to bring plenty of effort. We're badly out of form and missing key players so I'm not hopeful of a positive result but as long as we try hard I'll be happy.

    Go dees

    Unfortunately we've had a few unacceptable performances this year.

    I’ll be there.

    Hoping for some serious pressure and fast flow footy and for a starting square midfield of Rivers, Pickett and McVee at some stage of the game.

    I’d just like to see the Dees turn up mentally tonight and produce a four quarter effort. If we do, we can win. If not, it will get very ugly.

    Game day baby. Pumped!

    C’mon Demonlanders, fire up you miserable bunch of………..(well not everyone).

    Lets face it, Port are sheet and will never win a premiership under KH.

    I feel like being his wife means that he should just do whatever I say, but annoyingly it’s not always the case. So rude 😂

    Unfortunately we’re back to the days of hoping for 100% effort and as close to a 4 quarter performance as possible.

    Looking forward to seeing the future on display tonight - JVR, McVee, Rivers, Kolt, Kozzie, Houston.

    Our horrible performance against the ‘Scraggers’ has given me nightmares all week, so I’m choosing to go with the dreams I had before the ‘wheels fell off’.     
    Dees by 3 points.  ❤️ 💙

    I’d love to see some more connection and excitment in our young fwd line

      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.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
