Most important game for the dees in 3 years. We've started the year well but previously we would drop this game signifying flakiness which opposition pick up on.

Win on Saturday and it does herald a new way and mindset.

    Robey debuting for the Dons.

    Exciting player. Very happy with how our draft haul turned out but he's one I was very keen on.

    Kicked 4.0 and had 23 touches on the VFL last week.

    He looked good that game.

    Although he kicked nothing the weekend just gone by and had 11 touches. Let’s hope it’s the same this weekend 😬

    Best on-paper forward line since the days of Ben Brown and Tom McDonald (fwd version).

    I'd like us to kick 8goals in the 1st qtr and win the game by 85pts.
    That'd be a new mindset.
    And one I'd enjoy.

    Caddy and Ridley are good Ins for the Dons. I have a feeling the Dons will be a bit better at defending this week

    Funny how even after letting 3 club greats go, we seem to have heaps of depth all of a sudden.

    Rivers, Laurie, and the guys who dominated at VFL level all seem unlucky (Max Heath, AJ, Jeffo, and Kentfield).

    those were the days!

    sideshow bob, plugger, and fritsch was an amazing leading, bullocking, and smart positioning combo that we saw too infrequently

    mihocek has been a huge addition in 2026 - such a hard worker and such a smart footballer

    @demon36 Agree - I am really wanting to win this. Brad Scott is a person who is so arrogant for a bloke who’s coached a team into the ground. Dees are in the media spotlight but often we’ve had a “drink our own bath water” and lost the next week. Ruthless? We need to keep the standard. Lose this and we get to be laughing stock again.

    Win this and we march back to the MCG to take on the reigning premiers on the match of the round.

    Dees must win this ❤️💙

    With apologies to Vitas Gerulaitus......

    He delivered his legendary line on January 12, 1980, after finally defeating Jimmy Connors, who had won their previous 16 consecutive matches.

    Yes, I'm old enough to be aware of his famous quote.

    As he's well gone I suspect he'll be fine with the lack of attribution.

    No apologies.

    They showed more defensive grit last week any team on a 17 game losing streak is getting closer to a breakthrough win, so above all else we must respect the opposition this weekend, play as per Kings instructions and take no shortcuts or get ahead of ourselves

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
