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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
