Well after a week of abject misery about ...well every single thing related to the dees ...Ive been visited by a strange sense of hope. The " what ifs" are getting louder. I may well regret this but dees up by 6 goals at half time and win by by 10 points.

    2012, round 10, winless Dees came up against 2nd on the ladder Bombers. Need, yet to record a win, swung Garland forward and he kicked 2 goals in the last to win the match for us. I missed the game for a friend of a friend's bucks party and won a ps3 as part of the deal.

    I'll be missing tonight's game because it's the first night of Passover and I'll be with my family. I'll be sure to keep an eye on the game though. Is Goodwin capable of unconventional moves? Doubtful! Is there a chance we can win? Absolutely!

    Go Dees!

    I imagine a lot of supporters will passover tonight to watch.

    When do they announce the Sub, trying to get interested, any chance of a late change?


    I hope we get smashed and say bye to Goodwin and jones. If anyone remembers the kind of commentary Nate jones made on channel 7, that should have been enough evidence for him not to get the job. Very basic, very gross and un-nuanced.

    Club absolute shambles. Game gone so far past Goodwin.

    for the sake of the future of this club, please for the love of god lose by 10 goals tonight.

    Otherwise it’s just delayed pain as Goodwin and jones take us to nowhere land for another 3 years

    I’ve been trying out the sound of ‘go pies’ just out of sheer self-respect

    Well based on this we're clearly going to win...

    A lot of that is correct aside from hoping to lose and cheering on the Pies.

    No chance to win

    16 premiership players & can’t really think of any of them improving in 4 seasons

    Maybe Kozzie & Rivers

    We will turn things around tonight Bombers to win by 47 pts. Our percent should rise by 0.7 %

    We are in for an awful night tonight, the team selection is so unbalanced. Doesn't matter how bad essendon are on paper, we won't connect forward of centre and fail to score more than 8 goals for the game. Happy to be proven wrong but can't see it happening.

    With the Blues winning...the eye of Sauron moves from Voss onto Goodwin.

    I’m going against my better judgement and gonna watch tonight. At least if we lose and I can’t sleep the masters is onwith Jday in the top 10!

    I actually think playing a small fwd line might work

    we have zero tall fwds in form

    Langford Trac Fritsch Melk will play well

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
