Agree.

Who remembers the 'Kruezer cup' match? Where both sides (Demons &  Blues) were trying to lose. Blues left Travis Johnston to run riot ...42 possessions from memory. Demons won, so Carlton got pick #1, which was Kruezer.

 

Typical for those years. TJ fantastic skills, lazy, laconic, runs riot when he wanted in a game that was of no consequence.

melbourne won but in reality lost. 
In those times when we tried to lose we failed. Terrible times best not look back look forward 

21 and 25. I would take that as long as they are not bookends.

 

I hate playing the Pies for so many reasons, and now you can add a legitimate fear of one of our players dying to the list.

Gus, Trac, who will it be tonight? Max I suppose.

Is this that thing where the umpire has to stand on one leg?

I hate myself for thinking this, but long term are we better off losing and getting a higher draft pick? Suns and Saints could go past us on the ladder all going well.

It’s a win win game for mine. I want to see 100% effort and if that gets us over the line great, if not I’ll take the pick. Although I’d like us to be in the middle band for next years draw. All the big box clubs are there and they’re the best games for us the supporters and for the club wanting prime time slots. We’re going to enjoy winning the flag next year.

The phrase "It couldn't get worse" has never filled me with confidence. Call it MFCSS but it doesn't work for me. 

All i will say is “go dees”. We will be there (hopefully not getting too wet), however I really hope for a win for our final game to ride some positive momentum into the pre-season. Hopefully see a few of you there (FWIW I am 2m tall, have a beard and a full mouth of teeth - assume not many people will match this description at the G tonight if any Deamonlander wants to say hi).

Twelve hours to kick-off. Time enough to get in a few chapters of Thinking, Fast and Slow by the recently deceased Nobel prize-winning behavioral scientist Daniel Kahneman and ponder the mental juxtaposition created by the contradictory desire for instant gratification weighed against longer-term goal-setting and its potential promise of greater future rewards as disrupted by a lack of concrete details on the exact timeframe of our own personal demise, which becomes further complicated again for those of us who remain childless or have a lifestyle profile which could be classed as 'high risk' but still boast a full set of teeth, in all providing for an interesting metaphor for the Melbourne Football Club as its players line up for the first bounce in a dead Friday night rubber at the MCG.

Or I could just read the Collingwood forums for a while to kill some time. 

Go Dees!

 

 

Hnmmm sounds like something I came across when I was a kid! Anyone remember

"THE LITTLE RED SCHOOLBOOK"??

Incredible that any of the teams currently in positions 5 to 8 could potentially finish anywhere between top-4 or missing the 8 altogether!  What a bizarre season.

Wanna make sure Daicos doesn’t get Brownlow votes - might make a difference…..

Looking forward to some atrocious football* from the 10th to 18th teams.

*This may include limited one way running facilitating enhanced scoring.

For the last time in season 2024.

It’s game day baby. Pumped!

Get to the G tonight to farewell Nibbler and BBB. Two premiership heroes.

Go Dees.

Takes the saying 'legs 11' to a whole new level. If you google the great man, apparently his last known weight is 111kgs. He's to a 111 point win over these mongrellls. Dad jokes 10111.

Need ANB to do a number on him again. Hopefully means the Bont might win it for once.

Well I'm torn.
Want an earlier draft pick but also wanna thump the filth.

Draft picks are a bit of a lottery. Beating the Pies would be glorious. I say let’s thump the bastards.

Sydney has to be the worst minor premier in the history of the competition. Not only did they lose to the wooden spooner, they also had a 100+ point loss in there.


I want to win this for all the supportive d/landers and fans after a tough season.And especially for WCW and her wonderful contribution thru this site and the Demonarmy.Lets go DEES belt the [censored] out of this mob of pretenders.(and afew backhanders to you know who,the dirty [censored] and a knee into their captain)

Tonight I’m bringing my two 5 year old (almost 6) grandsons to their 2nd game of footy. One parent of each is also coming (my kids).  We would love to sit with the cheer squad. Is there room and can we do this with general admission tickets?

Both boys love Tommy McDonald.  We fear there is a chance it’s his last game.

Didn't they lose 6 in a row?

Quasi Dead rubber or not it would be nice to officially end the Pies season even if it means denying them the 180+ point win that they need.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
