May takes command and marshals a stout defence. Max and the midfield show up with a chip on their shoulders and play fast and aggressive. Forward line shows up as AJ crashes packs, mayhem ensues, creating openings for Melk, JVR and (I pray) fritta.

Dees by 4 goals.

All 50 of us who will be at the G are in for a show.

I was so fuc%ing glad to see Carlton loose. Takes the pressure off us to rebound (or maybe the pressure off us supporters)

For what it's worth I think we will win. We play the G better than the Suns and I'm backing JVR to do what chin did and have an elite game. Let's fuc$ing go Dees

You're kidding, right?

The media actually digging into our shocking gamestyle would be a good thing. We don't need the shield.

It’s game day baby. Pumped!

It’s all about attitude and intent today. Show some fight and make us proud.

We can win this. Go Dees!

I'm taking the kids along

We're hopeful but not confident

Surely there will be a strong response after last weeks horror show

You'd rather lose and justify to yourself our gamesyle is no good than win against an up and coming side where our gamestyle holds up?


Dees WILL WIN by 17 points!

  • Our home ground

  • Suns not 'match fit' - no games played this season; the round 1 training/practice game vs WCE doesn't count.

  • Backs-to-the-wall demons will come out fighting like rnd 23, 2024

Stage set for a mighty come back by our beloved demons!

We've lost Lever since I posted the above yesterday but TMac comes in.

Play with grit and intent for 4 quarters and I still think we win !!!

you forgot one zero at least maybe two

I’ve got the old ‘head says / heart says’ debate pacing through my veins this morning, but you can’t hold this ❤️&💙 heart down! Dees by 17 points.

Hopefully the lads are over the illness that spread through the group last week and are fresh and raring to go. Gawn and Petracca especially with a point to prove. We may not win this one, but we'll definitely have a crack like we did with GWS. Dees by 3 points!


Historically, the Dees thrive when expectations are low and, well… expectations are low.

Melbourne by 25.

You mean Suns not match fit like Tom Green who with 35 possies was the leader in our game against the Giants.

Hope you are right though, this is now a seriously important game for us to get our season going, or possibly watch it fall away early, with the Cats at Cotton On Park next friday.

The irony is we were the team without match fitness against GWS, let Green dominate and surrendered the game.

Every chance GCS are that team today.

We need to curb the play makers like Green.

Tactically, today I think it will be Rowell especially at CB and fwd half stoppages. A job for Viney and or Swallow ...

We also need tactics to stop Mac Andrew copying Comben last week (@Demonstone please note spelling 😁). A good decoy job for Melksham and tell the players to ignore Melksham and keep Andrew away from the play to not intercept.

Last quarter fade outs have been our undoing for nearly a year. I truly think that if there are no passengers we have good tactics and we play the full 4 qtrs we will win ... Is that asking too much ... 🤔

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
