Haha but I think you get the bends rising, not going down. Luv the message though.

Yeah I left out the coming up bit, which I shouldn’t have since I came up as quickly as possible.

    Im excited about watching my team rise and succeed again. I have been through many dark days as a dees supporter, and it feels somewhat familiar to be where we are. The lower the low, the higher the high!

    I get excited with anticipation all pre season thinking of the possibilities of what may happen. It is all good, we haven’t lost any games (neither has anyone else)

    Each game day I also get excited. The possibility of what may happen……then unfortunately about 10 minutes into the games of late, the excitement finishes. Sad but true.

    But then there is always the next game, the next season.

    Except for one or two years, sadly this is how it has been for me for over half a century.😞

    One or two years?! Umm, we've made 3 grand finals and appeared in 16 final series in that half-century. I hope you're not being literal. If you can't even raise a smile for a year we're in the Granny for your own sake you probably should find a new interest.

    No I wasn’t being literal but I’m not sure how old you are but it’s a bit rich for you to suggest that I should find a new interest.

    But just to rub it in, at least I was there to watch us win the last one. Be a bit rich of me to suggest that if you didn’t make it over to WA you perhaps weren’t trying hard enough, so I won’t😉

    I did say IF. Most years there are highlights and usually a finals year is satisfactory. Anyway, peace out, I wasn't trying to get personal.

    To be fair though, you can’t get any higher than what we did.

    About as big of a lifetime goal I have, and I got to tick it off.

    Just imagine shudder if Bulldogs had got the next goal or two and we had lost that GF and everything ever since was the same. Admittedly itd be so much easier now to ditch Goodwin. But I'm sure most Melbourne supporters, including me, would be so much angrier and despondent now.

    Yeah but that didn’t happen. Instead, we won #13.

    No point dealing in hypotheticals, they don’t change the past. But our actions (or inactions), can very well determine our future.

    Perhaps. But isn't almost every one is thinking about every possible scenario , good or bad, for the Dees for the rest of the year? Even just with neutral games this weekend expectations kind of just jump into my head of what will happen.

    … a debut. A debut of anyone in red and blue, regardless of who he/she is. In this case it’s Tommy Fullarton and we all need to get behind him and have faith in him.

    GO OUT THERE AND GIVE ‘EM HELL, CREAM!!!

    The return of Steven Smith. He once took a hit for the team, hopefully he will show all demon supporters how you can get back up again.

    This club has me excited for the NBA playoffs and the new NFL season!!!

    Looking forward to watching Caitlyn Clarke tear all those jealous ghetto horsehair wig wearers to bits myself.
    She's a Hoopastar.

    As for us I've got nothing but a foreboding sense of .... Doom.
    But I really like the look of Langford.
    Hope Goodwin doesn't ruin him.

    Goody appears to be making some very strange calls this year, but, going forward, if he does somehow manage to turn our fortunes around, then I’m certainly excited at the prospect of seeing that happen. Who wouldn’t be?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
