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 !!!

Are you sure you can take kids.

I thought after last week's effort the AFL rated our game style MA15 😜

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 ... 🤔

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
