My husband is coming along, but of course he’s lost the good charm vibes after the Port loss so he’s essentially dead to me.

    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.

    Oh Demonsterative, you know I love you but… what the [censored] is this all about?!

    The benefits of a win tonight - which are legion - far outweigh a slightly higher draft pick.

    Now, step away from your computer, splash cold water on your face and try to see sense. Thank you.

    My daughter saw this in Munich of all places. Who would have thought u would see this in Munich. 

    They had Petracca, Viney, Oliver and Fritch. 

    Hopefully it’s a good sign for tonight. 

    Go Dees

    Why do they all look like Mexican drug lords?

    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.

    They might be Adam, but I’d still trade places with them in a heartbeat!

    Hmm could I train him in the next few hours to run onto the field and take a steaming 💩 on Maynard?

    Careful WCW, might give some of us coronaries with this reminder and that would mean less Dees fans at the game 😱😂


    Wow the weather forecast has really turned. A few days ago it looked like a clear night. Typical Melbourne weather.

    If it’s a wet weather game I think we’ll lose. Of all the times we’ve played fast and attractive footy it’s been dry conditions (West Coast, Gold Coast, Saints). I was hoping a repeat of the Gold Coast game but with this weather, I think it will be a very dour affair. 

    Well I wish we wernt playing the filth but we are, just really hope we finish on a win.

    But I'm happy to say goodbye to season 2024. Its been horrendous all round.

    But I hope there are no serious injuries & cox has a horrible game because at no point do I want him to see him shoosh anyone or hear the USA chant.

    At least mays not playing to hear him get booed.

    Not going to boo that thug. It only fires him up & the filth will cheer him all night.

    I’m talking about tanking Ollie, I would not be disappointed if the cards fell our way and we get pick 5. 

    Uhm… do I need to slap a fellow Demonlander?!

    The cards will fall our way when we win tonight! A loss tonight would be heavier and more depressing than a regular loss.

    We don’t just want to win tonight, we need to win. It is so important heading into our next campaign. 

    For anyone who’s at the posh function tonight in the Harrison Room (with Hassa and co.), there’ll be raffle tickets being sold (organised by Coterie) from 6:15pm. I’m one of the plebs selling them, so please buy a raffle ticket or 10. 😃

    PS I’ll be the one in red n blue 😅

    I think we're too tall down back. With the weather forecast the way it is I won't be devastated if there's a late change and either Brown or Woey come in for Tomlinson.

    I’m in two minds about this WCW. I want to win like the rest of us. There is a ‘but’ though. I want to give JT and the club the best chance of getting the best talent into the club. Long term for our assault next year and beyond, it could in be the clubs favour to get a lower draft pick. 
     

    The players (the young ones too) understand the difficulties of this year and a win not inflate or deflate the group going into pre-season for 2025. 
     

    Btw, I’m not wanting us to tank or play below our best. I will be cheering hard for a win (I’m a competitive person and experience white line fever when the boys cross that white line), but If we don’t, I hope like hell pick 5 or 6 comes our way. If it does I won’t be disappointed

    Is there a dead rubber premiership cup?

    I believe it’s called the ‘Inconsequential Cup’….that I want us to win. Three reasons, I really despise the Filth, I’ll be at the game and I hate losing!

    GO DEES!

    He has a better chance of licking him to death Jaded.  Although you might need to jump the fence and level Mayturd first

    Look at it as a win-win situation 😉

    Hope for the win, be happy even if we lose.

    Yep, all pending St Kilda and Gold Coast beating up on Richmond and Carlton.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
