Its been 1,041 days since we completely pantsed the Dogs on Sept. 25, '21. Look where Footscray are at compared to us now.

    Their first win against a top 8 side this year?

    They can also be very flaky. However a couple of wins like that at the pointy end can do wonders.....

    That’s because his career at Melbourne still haunts him

    They are no more than 2 or 3 players away from another grand final appearance IMHO. We are a minimum of a dozen - best case scenario.

    ... and yet they have lost to the Lions (x2) and Freo this year, teams that we have beaten. perhaps "a dozen" is overstating it. I would say we are a Darcy and a Norton from winning our next premiership!

    Tomorrow night's Pies/Lions clash is shaping as the match of the season

    Their rivalry stems back to the start of the 20th century*! And even further back if the 19th Century VFA days are factored in

    *In the first 34 years of the VFL, the Lions & Pies shared 16 Premierships. Side by side suburbs

    Smith St would have been a fascinating sight way back when. One side of the road Fitzroy, the other side Collingwood

    Hawks applying amazing pressure all over the ground. Something we used to do but can only dream about these days.

    Good start by hawthorn.

    I know others don't like hawthorn but I want the hawks & dogs in the finals because I feel they vould knock off Collingwood or Geelong.

    I feel gold coast will not do anything in finals & will waste a spot in the 8

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
