That's definitely not me. I'm the guy critiquing the umpires

"That's not a mark"

"That's not 15"

BALLLLLLLLLL!

"You've got to pay them both ways"

"FFS"

"There used to be one umpire who's doing a better job than these 4"

Kosssieeeeeee!

"They need to get rid of the insufficient intent rule, that call was b*[censored]"

"Kick a goal son! How good was that!"

Hello, is that me?

I was going off last week about the inconsistency - does my head in

 

The six day turnaround is a test for players and fitness staff, but does the AFL understand how hard it can be washing and drying a pair of lucky Demons socks with such a short break between games?

Solution - second wear is inside out. Third wear is swap feet. One wash every three weeks.


It’s game day baby. Pumped!

About to consume a few alcoholic beverages in the office and then off to the G.

See you there. Go Dees!

Very Suprised that Goodwin has bought Fritsch back into the side after only 1 week.

Hope it works,

win tonight and there is a pulse left in the Season

I think he needed to after Turner went out to be honest. There’s no Lever, so if May or T-Mac go down, we only have Petty as a reliable like for like.

If Petty isn’t in our forward line and no Fritsch, then it’s Fullarton and a bunch of smalls VS Vlaustin, Broad and Macintosh in the air…. Probably a bad time.

“MAN UP!!!”

GUILTY as charged, yer 'onour. Not that I've actually managed to see much play this year as Watch AFL and I are having Words - my voucher number doesn't work and I can only watch because some kind Demonlander has loaned me their credentials, but I don't want to rely on that because yannow I paid for a digital membership for myself....

Anyway, GO DEES! I'm off to bed. It's after midnight here and I just can't stay up until 3 or 4am any more. Wrecks me the next day.

I understand that, but we also had 23 tackles in the Forward Line last week.

Fritsch needs to contribute to the Team a lot more…

Hopefully the light has switched on inside his head..

Dees by 3 goals it should be more but we have the lead weight back in the forward line this week.

Classy.

So with Melksham out injured, who would you have brought in ?


I'm here.

Trigger warning- small handful of dees players on the ground in a circle - kicking around a soccer ball.

All about how hard we work off the ball tonight - our scoring will flow off the back of that.

line for line (no J. Smith)), we have the tiges covered.

Hunner percent, zero argument here.

I’ve said it elsewhere on here before but Fritsch has never been strong defensive or pressure wise at all.

What has changed is the goals dried up, which made this wayyyyy more evident.

Had a look at the last few years and the following is his ranking in our team on averages:


          Tackles   Tackle I50  Pressure acts

2021    19th            8th                    14th

2022     24th           7th                   19th

2023    27th            15th                 22nd

2024 28th           11th                23rd   

2025     12th 11th             19th

Gates open at 5:30pm (MCC 5pm)

Order of events:

6.50pm - Pre-Match Entertainment
7.01pm - Light Horses Lap of Honour
7.12pm - Observance Ceremony
7.18pm - Joint Banner Run Through
7.30pm - Match Start

Note: they pause entry through all gates during the Observance Ceremony (at 7.12pm). If you're not inside the ground by then, you'll be held outside.

With increased security measures it’ll take longer to process everyone. They really should open the gates at 4:30pm imo. At Easter Monday’s Hawks vs Geelong match there were folks who missed the first quarter due to the time it takes to get everyone in.

thats handy for me to know stuck home and cant be thereSad Season 4 GIF by The Office

I do that all the time same with my jocks

I will be interested to see the way the coaching team perform this evening.

Last week was really the first time I have seen them win the match day coaching. They were positive and proactive.

Need the same tonight.

Want to see pressure, Pressure, Pressure and a clearly defined task for Viney. He responded very well last week.

Go Dees!

Totally agree. Small wins continuously.

With the amount of upsets already in the Season, we can claw our way back, but we must get on a winning streak

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    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.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
