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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
