    Got down to Casey today at 11.00 today and there were a handful of spectators in the ground and the gates were ajar. Missed all but the last minutes of the scratch match. The players then had running and some ball work drills. The players there that I picked up were Billings, Adams, Verrall, Campbell, Fullarton, Mentha, Brown, Johnson, Woey, Kentfield, Culley and a few others, Apparently ( according to a trainer) Jeffo copped a knock in the scratch match and was nowhere in sight

    I think we might have a set back tonight.

    If the game were at the G we’d be winning our third consecutive game where we have a 6-6 record since round 11 last year. Plus we’re a better team than them.

    However away from the G we have a 1-8 record since that debacle in round 10 last year at Optus V WC. The stats are too obvious to ignore and it’s plain to see that we can’t or won’t play the style of footy and requisite pressure needed to win a game away from the G.

    Hope to be proven wrong of course.

    Expecting a Tim Kelly masterclass. That guy always plays well against us.

    Also, I mentioned this in another thread, but I get the feeling that Harley Reid will be pumped up for tonight considering he was at the forefront of our demolition around this time last year.

    Curtailing the influence of those two will go a long way towards a Demon victory.

    I think Reid is playing for a change of clubs back home.

    As in trying to show his credentials, or deliberately being so difficult to work with they'll trade him?

    We need to clamp down on Waterman as he could have a field day against us without May. He is the danger man for tonight.

    Really liked the use of Viney in a run with role against the opposition's best over the past two weeks.

    Just as an explosive game by Reid will lift WC and the crowd, multiple additions of Harley Reid to the "Jack Viney made me cry" thread will lift the Dees and deflate WC.

    With Oliver out and Viney (perhaps) playing a defensive role, this is the game for Petracca - whose form has been solid - to get back to his gaming-winning best.

    If this plays out then Goodwin should walk tonight…

    If we have any semblance of pride, the MFC wins by 36+

    Watching Wines play ruck for Port today is there any chance we put Langford in as a backup ruck when Maxy needs a rest? He’s a tall lad and strongly built, might work? I’d prefer not put Petty in there.

    Did May participate in the Captain's run yesterday?

    No idea but I reckon he plays.

    Not sure why they’d fly him over to Perth if he was under substantial enough doubt.

    If he wasn’t under a cloud and he injured himself at the captains run then surely he would’ve been withdrawn from the squad from now?

    See what happens.

    The 1-8 wasn’t against wc though, outside a repeat of last year this game shouldn’t present any issues, plus if u want to talk pressure and stats just look at wc this year they would love to be us

    Actually our current 1-8 record away from the MCG included the WC game of round 10 last year.

    Bo Allen - certainty for the rising star nom

    Demons by 3 points

    Dubdee to get a stomach ulcer

    WC last game at home they lost to the bombers by 2 points They are fired up big time after being hammered in the media

    Bombers beat us by 40 points so i’m not confident at all

    I’d be delighted with a 1 pt win

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
