    After last week I wasn't going to go today but have backflipped as the kids said they wanted to go. I don't know if they know what they are in for, I am genuinely worried about today.

    Dees in a close finish?
     

    It’s fitting this is an Easter game being we are generally Freo’s bunnies. I would have liked to have seen Adams brought in for May but otherwise the changes have us look more balanced and at least we have 2 forwards that have been kicked goals at the lower level recently. What I hope to see is manic effort and a focus on structure without the ball. I hope to see movement forward when we have it and movement forward of the ball for those wanting it. I hope the player with the ball trusts his gleam mate and looks to execute the first attacking option to a player that puts us in the best chance to score.

    If Sparrow is going to tag Brayshaw or Serong do it at the bounce not at the expense of another position. Time to move Viney forward and Rivers in the rotation. Let Langford and Oliver rotate and Trac or Pickett rotate. Windsor back to the wing and Chin to high half forward.

    I don’t think we’ll win today but I do think there is a great chance to show the first true steps of change that will have us moving in the right direction.

    Whats not discussed is our first 3 games at the G have been against GWS, GC & Freo with poor attendances and impacting on gate receipts, the AFL finds a way to dump on us.The finances of our club need to be considered sitting @ 0-5 & possible worse come Anzac eve!

    Hopefully we can somehow get a win but if we don't we always have below and no-one can ever take that from us no matter how hard they try.

    Sportsbet have Freo at $1.29. Looks overs to me.

    I got on Freo earlier in the week @ $1.45. Hope I lose my money ... (not likely!)

    Were already depressed about this season and its only Round 6.

     

    I never thought I'd ever say this but thank you Essendon.

    You have given us the chance to get out from being the worst club in the league points wise at least.

    Go Dees.

    And I hope Fritta enjoys his time in the magoos.

    Got 2 x Free tickets if anyone is keen, please DM me and I’ll send via text.

    Centre wing Medallion Club (basically just AFL Reserve I believe).

    Go Dees!

    Thank you club who manhandled us so easily last week for scratching past the worst team of the last 3 years and nearly blowing it. We are in your debt

    Three coffees and two Red Bulls in and I’m fired up and ready to go!!!

    There’s a chance we’ll lose today.

    There’s a chance we’ll win.

    I’m gonna focus on the chance of a win.

    Note: gates open earlier today (11:30am), due to the extra time needed to check folks upon entry. Sadly though, I don’t think the extra time is needed since it won’t take long to check so few people 😢

    Freo are a great team. Solid midfield, defence and ruck.

    2 McDonalds and 2 Sharps.

    Dees by 6


    A fwd line that struggles to accrue 60 points each week with a back line that concedes about 100 points each week.

    And a midfield that plays like a group of headless chickens ....we are still a good chance to win.

    Not sure if your being sarcastic. But if you are about the fact that they manhandled us, I would not say that was their( Essendon's) fault, Sir.

    Our players are grown men and seasoned players, so if anyone is to be blamed for them being manhandled, I would strongly suggest to start there.

    Anything else imho, is just making excuses. And poor ones at that

    I'm not suggesting for a second that you are BP, but anyone who does, is a complete fool.

    Enjoy the game.

    I am positive today.

    Why?

    I think our mids will take up the challenge matching Freos stars.

    Fullarton in signals a new approach or emphasis on better approach forward . That’s it, not much but I’m going to enjoy it.

    True with the crowd but what a great opportunity for the AFL to look at curtain raiser again. Even under 18s

    I like it. We still have a midfield that can bully the opposition, but we must get some (early) return on it and we're a chance. Would help if viney oliver langdon and a few others hit the scoreboard. They all get their chances but choke inside 50 time and time again. Expecting our front 6 to kick a winning score is huge ask. Push forward and snag a few

    No chance. Anything below 50 loss will be positive. But Ill be there nonetheless

    I’m not superstitious but I do wear the same Melbourne socks to every match. However, this year I’ve been wearing our new Demon Army socks. I couldn’t find them this morning so I’m wearing the Melbourne socks today. We all know what that means, don’t we boys and girls?! Yep, a win for sure!

    Y’all are soooo welcome 😘

    • 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?
