It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    The playing group will step up as a collective and wear Geel down by the last.

    Season defining game, maybe career defining direction for some of our stars.

    Friday night, can’t wait!

    Kozzie owes us a big game & our forward line has to function.

    Would be great if our midfield actually stepped up & win a clearance.

    Well done to the dees fans making the trip down. If this was tomorrow I would had gone but there's no way I'm getting there tonight

    We have some good ins

    and we can't possibly continue to play as badly as we have been

    for those reasons alone i reckon we will put in a much better performance. whether that's good enough to win i don't know. Our record down there is not good so unlikely

    but for gods sake can we show a bit of heat and ticker and pride in the guernsey

    and stop fumbling and executing our skills like we're drunk

    get it together

    Go Dees

    I had pencilled in this game to go with a [censored] supporting friend, but with the Dee’s playing so well, I think I will decline.

    Says something about me and my mate Don. Only excuse is we have a family member staying for the week and we have not had access for couple of years.

    But it’s on the TV, 2 hour drive there 2 hours back to watch a hit house loss. No the TV will do. Go Dee’s Yelled weakly Not confident at all. Expect 30-60! Loss

    Despite witnessing that GC beatdown last weekend, in the past 5 days I’ve somehow convinced myself that we might win this.

    I am a delusional moron.

    Sports are so dumb.

    Go Dees.

    Understatement of the last four years. Arguably owes us a premiership. Love him all the same.

    Like most on here hoping for an ice breaking win but expecting a loss, odds are against us. Will tell us a lot about our season.

    I find it very interesting that the very players who should be driving standards and leading our club are the ones who've caused our club the most disturbance. Now whether that disturbance was more media beat up than fact they put us in the media's headlights. On the other side to that is the fact that a new game plan takes time to embed in any side and can be frustrating to all especially those used to success. The big question for this group of over fed ego's is can they still fight for a win. Not a close loss but a win. I think the next 6-8 weeks will define how we see these guys long term. I want to see us hunt in packs, run back and forwards hard and get around each other after every goal, tackle, shepherd, gut run, smother, you name it, I want to see a team supporting each other again.

    I'm annoyed with the senior players and I'll be more annoyed if we get smacked tonight.

    Geelong by 54.

    IF we can all get on the same page, execute skills to AFL level, and show genuine pride in the jumper, then we are a real chance!

    We will find out this evening whether our beloved Dees have it in them!

    Against better judgement I'll be heading down the highway, hoping for an improved performance.

    Last time I was there was 2018 when Tuohy got the a goal after the siren for the win. Time before that was 186 😭

    I was there that day too 😢 The locals weren’t particularly fond of me and let me know after the siren. Let’s reverse that scenario tonight.

    Yeah they've didn't seem too fond of us either, though there was one very lippy Melbourne supporter who was trying to wind them up all game, and that didn't help our cause.

    Was that you? 😛

    Gates open at 3:20pm. The Casey game starts at 3:50pm. It would be great for the Casey boys to see and hear support, so anyone who can get to Mordor early enough to catch even just part of the match, please do this.

    Besides supporting the Casey players, being there for two matches also justifies the criminally high price of a ticket. Idk about y’all but I had to fork out $65 for the privilege of sitting in the away cheer squad bay. God how I hate that club.

    What are the odds of Kossie being a little over-enthusiastic and getting suspended again?

    I can feel it happening

    I predict a pretty even second half with an improved effort before slipping away and losing by 5 goals.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • 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.

      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.
