I hear you brother.

I would give him some brass knuckles! 😆

 

Hard to drop anyone but I would like to see Ben Brown get a farewell game. Think he deserves it. 
Hunter could be the sub to get his 200th. 
 

The main thing is that we need to beat those pieces of [censored]! 😤

AMW for Sparrow

Brown and Hunter can say their farewells pregame or at half time

 

We need to fight this game hard, play it like it's a final. Hell is this "our Grand Final"? 

I want to see us attack this game the way we should've on QB. Give them no quarter and be hard at the footy all day. There's no next week.

God I want us to beat them and put the official nail in the coffin of their season.

If BBB comes it it can only be for Petty IMO. Need JVR to ruck and can’t drop Disco. Petty might appreciate the extra week off, but not sure we do it.

If Hunter (after missing the vfl game??) comes in it can only be for Melk as sub. Seems unlikely. And would need Melk to have another year.

Suspect they just keep Tomlinson for a farewell and keep May on ice so he can attack preseason.

Laurie or K Brown for Sparrow?


Deny the filth finals and it will be the best end to a season since 2021.

The boys should be looking forward to driving a nail into Collingwood’s faint finals chances.

 

 

I’ll certainly be there. It’s our ‘grand final’ in August. The mighty Dees  v the Ferals and umps.
So much want us to beat the ‘Umpire assisted premiers’ of 2023 and ensure they can’t make the finals in 2024.

 

I’d love to snuff out any chance of the Filth making finals. This is our Grand Final now.

I would give Hunter his 200th and farewell game next week, on the strict proviso he makes Maynard and Moore know he was out there and if possible legally of course, fixes up Maynard.

What’s Alistair Lynch doing on Friday night?

Poor percentage means the Pies can't make the finals if any two of Bulldogs, Hawks and Blues win tomorrow, which is highly likely. Thus this will be a dead rubber with the Pies unable to rise higher than ninth. Such a shame that neither the Pies nor the Blues will be playing in September, perhaps the only small consolation for Dees supporters.

There should only be the one change, someone in for Sparrow (I'd go AMW personally).

BBB can have a lap of honour before the game or at half time.

If the Filth beat us, they can still make if Port can get over Freo in Perth and the Blues lose to both the WCE and the Saints, which given all the Blues outs and the way they are playing is a strong chance.

Again, this is wrong. They only care about Carlton. If they lose, Collingwood is alive. 

A lazy  100 point win might get us in. Doubt it but possible but dogs and hawks need to lose tomorrow and next week

 

still just beat the filth!!

I think we are missing what the real opportunity is here to screw the Pies.

It's not a matter of the dees winning . It's probably about ensuring they don't win by 60 points  plus to get the required % boost.

What would be better than watching the second half pies fans knowing they can't meet that target during the game with the dees defence rock solid.

Cook them slowly

Would be interesting to see a match between the Bulldogs and the filth , who would get the more assistance from the umpires? 🤔

The pies had 7 free kicks to 0 in the last 10 minutes

Umpiring and outcome management was appalling  Significant asssitance

Pies media hype has started but by my best calculations a 100 point margin over dees next week will see them well under 8th spot on %.

No chance of finals. Includes blues losing next week to saints

Unless you have Carlton beating West Coast, a 1 point win over us and a Fremantle loss to Port puts Collingwood in the 8.

Carlton winning tonight pretty much ends them but the Blues’ injury list means that’s unlikely.

I would love for West Coast to be Carlscum, we beat the filth and they both miss the 8! that'd be the dream


  • If the Dogs, Hawks and Blues win their remaining games, Collingwood can't make it
  • If the Hawks and Fremantle win their remaining games Collingwood can't make it
  • If the Dogs, Hawks and Blues win by 1 point today, Collingwood will be out of the eight by 7%. If the Dogs, Hawks and Blues then lost by 1 point next week, Collingwood would have to win with score around 150-20.

Even if we lose, if we can keep it close, it's a win.

I've just watched part of the last 5 minutes of the Brisbane/Coli Wobble game and after the third Tiggy Touchewood free to Collingwood I switched it off. MacRae was 100% correct in his assessment that his team get more than very favorable treatment from the so-called White Men when they play in their hometown MCG etc.

In other words, to beat the E Coli Wobblers you have to beat the umpires as well.

No way they select hunter.

At least i hope not - i would be livid if they did. He doesn't deserve any favours.

All the talk about clarry this season has helped hunter escape scrutiny.

He was good in the first half of the 2023 season, but has been a joke since - particularly this year.

This season we lost 2 senior players for the season before a ball was bounced (gus, smith), had other senior that basically alao missed the whole season through injury (spargo, bbb and mcadam) and had yet another unavailable for two thirds of the season (melk).

And to that list we can add Hunter.

So, from a list of 44 players, we were down seven senior players, forcing us to play kids.

And in addition, multiple senior players missed blocks of games (May, tracc, maxy, salo, bowey, lever).

I understand Hunter battled injury, but to he blunt I question his commitment to his rehabilitation - not to mention the club.

We desperately needed hardened, senior players on deck and he looked a million miles from a dedicated, elite footballer desperate to get back into the ones.

And forget leadership - he's offered us nothing. Hunter is the anti nibbla and I expect we've seen the last of him, both at the dees and as an AFL footballer.

Ugh this game is going to be horrible.  

At least may isn't playing so he won't be booed.

I know we'll want to boo that thug but it only fires him up & gets the scum fans going.

I just hope one of our good players does not end up seriously injured again

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    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?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
