G'day guys,

I think we have a strong chance to win come Saturday night.

Neitz, Robbo, & Davey a due a big game. With saying that, I think we can match the Bulldogs, I think we're a good fit.

GO DEES!!! :lol:

    I gave up hope after the Roos game in round 16, Robbo's 200th, were I thought we were a strong chance.

    Ordinarily, I'd say we're a huge chance with White playing his 250th. We had big wins when Neitz and Yze both played their 250th.

    However there is a distinct lack of passion and motivation among the group circa late 2007. There is only about 2 or 3 players that will be prepared to get their hands dirty and crave a win for the big milestone.

    I do have high hopes of a closer match than the previous 4 weeks, but a win is out of the question. Too many injuries.

    If Brad Johnson doesn't come up I'd say the boys would be some chance if they really wanted to win. An even better chance if they play him and the soreness turns into a full-blown hammy; that'd be "end-of-season and heads down" for them. Even so, any side who can limit the output of Cross and West is always a chance agin the Bullies.

    The doggies have struggled a fair bit this year considering their hype. I really do believe they are beatable, provided some spirit gets in the boys or maybe I just beat to red & blue to see the big picture. Lots of talented players in the fold. Hoping for a good contest.

    Well said. I agree with you 110% fellow demon fan.

    I like what you have to say. Looking forward to reading more of your posts shortly.

    You just never know what our team is going to do - we can mix it with the best when we have a decent team out there.....this is one we could sneak home in.

    I would be more worried if I was a Doggies supporter. We don't really have anything to loose....they are still trying to convince everyone they are worthy finals contenders - if they can't win this they are in trouble.

    Would love to see the boys win it for Whitey but I would sooner see us win the following week for David Neitz - if we only have one more victory coming our way, please make it against the maggies. Imagine beating them twice in a season when we have had such a bad year - pure gold!

    That's all I want for my Birthday & Christmas combined!

    A win against those pricks!!!

    Really don't like him do you demons32?

    Just think the day they changed the centre circle is the day White lost it.

    He can barely mark over head these days either.

    He gets alot of possies but they are kicks to a wing or marks behind play. Love Whitey, was my fav player for YEARS but upsets me how much development we loose because of him. Congrats on 250 White.

    Yes. Please elaborate.

    Jeff White has been a great contributer to the Melbourne FC for a decade.

    Who are you to judge him? I can't see you out there!

    250 games is a big effort so he has obviously done something right!

    Still is one of the leaders in the AFL for hitouts - It's not his fault he has players such as Godfrey to make the clearances.

    Give him a break Demons 32 or Log Out of Demonland.

    Who's with me???

    Well we got rid of Simmonds because we were playing White to often, we tarded Jolly because he wanted out for never getting a chance to play because of White and PJ and Jamar are barely played and when the are spend far to much time on bench. I don't know if either are good enough but it just seems mfc is to quick on the play hite scenario, and weve got white, we'll be alright.

    For example, we went to Adelaide against Brogan and Lade with just White, that was stupid. Should have brought PJ or Jamar. But I do like White.

    I see what ya saying but it's hardly white's fault for the selections.

    You clearly don't like White.

    Show some respect. White is better than those two players put together. I can't see them still playing full game time. Give Johnson & Jamar a break too!

    They can play. Have you seen Jamar in Sandi???

    The kid can play!!!

    VFL is a very different game to AFL.

    Very true,

    Think about it bwell.

    No. It's not different. There still kicking an oval shaped ball around. The class perhaps lacks but it's still Football.

    Jamar is still extremely young & will be a great attribute of the Melbourne FC for many years to come. You will see.

    Furthermore, just be quite both of you - Jeff White deserves this time & shouldn't be bagged by his so called supporters.

    I have an idea - Bag the opposition, not Melbourne players! :angry:

  • Quote

    I didn't bag him, I started this thread!

    VFL IS a very different game BECAUSE of the difference in class. AFL has a much larger and hugely different kind of intensity that takes a player many games to get used to. Think about it, you have maybe 1000 people at a VFL match compared to 11000-100000 people at an AFL match, not to mention all the people watching at home. Yes, he is still doing the same thing, kicking marking etc. but on a much bigger stage with a much larger audience. Think of it this way. Your a small time actor performing a play at your local high school, then all of a sudden the directors tells you your next show will be done in Broadway.

    Back to the topic for me

    The TAB rate our chances at $4 (vs Bulldogs @ $1.22)

    I think (depending on team selected) it will be a very close game and we do have a good chance of pulling the win especially if there is no B.Johnson :)

    • 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?
