I just have this feeling we will win this week. Call me mad call me insane but I think this backs against the wall stuff will simply get us over the line. We should have our best line up all year with McVee, Windsor, Pickett and Spargo back. BOOKMARK IT

If we don't win I will go down to Gosh's paddock naked with the smallest of small flags to cover my privates!

    Time to go Werridee?

    Just kidding, I reckon we're a sneaky chance as well. 10 years ago we did it with Brayshaw having his best game ever and Gawn announcing himself. We're up against it again and Kosi Pickett might be just the spark our midfield, forwards and defenders sitting back need lol

    For a start McVee is still injured and is about 2-3 weeks away.

    Turner will be in after 5 goals for Casey.

    We should definitely have our best side in so far this season.

    I've never wanted to win a game as much as I do this one.

    Has @WERRIDEE revealed his true identity? Is his real name Ray Stevens?

    I'm with you! Feel like our senior players will lift and kozzy will bring a spark that we have been missing

    A lot of pride in this group, will come out with a lot to prove. Although I was thinking that last week before the suns game 😅

    I hope the boys don't read this W as they might be tempted to chuck this one just for the entertainment factor at Gosch's on Monday

    Just be careful as they're playing a bit of soccer at the moment and might mistake yours for....well you know. Things could get ugly!

    If the game is decided by speed of ball movement on offense, I can't see us winning

    Plus, it's Geelong at Geelong

    My attention will be on how our offense operates. A vast improvement would be needed in order to win so I'll settle on decent improvement

    That would raise the hopes looking ahead

    Yeah. But 10 years ago that side had some spirit and grunt, it would probably beat this current 2025 piece of [censored].

    I was at that Game in 2015. It’s the second best home & away win I’ve ever seen.

    The best was when we beat Hawthorn in 2016 just ahead of when Jack Watts kicked the sealer on QB in 2017.

    Funnily enough when Fritsch kicked that dribbler last year at the G that was an epic win. Pitty the only dribbling he is doing this year is the type that Bruce Willis was doing in 7 monkeys

    I’ve also got a sneaky feeling about this week. We may not win but I think we’ll play well. I also think we’ll win the following four games and be 4 and 4 after round 8. You heard it here first.

    I like this thread. Starting to feel optimistic about this game as well.

    would be brilliant if we could win at that sh*tpile.

    If you’d held off on posting until this morning, you could have claimed April Fools. Oh well. But given that it’s getting colder, we’ll understand why it’s the smallest of small flags.

    Four scenarios I can see happening:

    1) There are five golden tickets in the world and we found one of them (without the help of Veruca Salt's Dad buying 90% of the chocolate bars). We somehow pull off a ''backs to the wall'' miracle win.

    2) The performance I was expecting against Gold Coast and occurred in round 1. A well fought out 4 quarters with the lead ebbing and flowing all day, but we just fall short. A performance they can take confidence in with 3 bottom 6 sides coming up in the next month.

    3) A replica of rounds 2 and 3. A mistake riddled 3 quarters and then give up in the last. A 50-75 point loss with no signs of improvement.

    4) the players make a 2011 like statement. A vote of no confidence in the coach, the game plan and even off field leadership as we simply don't try on the way to a 130 point loss. The coach's role becomes untenable.

    Ok....but you can't possibly be wrong outlining these. Take a risk, which scenario are you going with? I think Im with scenario 2.

    I was pretty keen on that last game in September 2021.

    Probably scenario 3.

    We're not quite at Fitzroy levels or Melbourne circa 2013 to allow a 120 point loss.

    We get better with the expected ins this week, the cats aren’t flying (although they’re better on their own soccer pitch), you’d expect some sort of bounce after the heat we’re copping.

    Need the mids to at least breakeven, and find a way to hit a forward with the football. Goals are coming almost by accident at the moment.

    I don’t see a win here but I’m all for the positive thinking.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
