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.

    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

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
