Can we have our first win next week? I give us a slight chance. Apart from when we play freo at the mcg later on this season this could be our only other chance. If our mid field can get on top and our fowards kick goals hopefully we can win. I'd keep Meesen in for next week. I know he got beaten around the ground but he actually won some taps and hit them down to our midfielders. Just not sure who to put on Riho. Maybe Warnock when he plays foward and Bruce when he runs around the ground. Next week should be interesting.

Geelong are a top team, but Carlton aren't ;)

I think we can beat the tigers as long as we can take Richo out of the contest which we partially did last time (even though we lost by 80 points).

The Dees will be back at the G and ready to fire

Yes.

Will be an interesting game. I think we will know more after their game vs the Dogs tomorrow. If they win or are competitive, they are probably turning the corner. If the Dogs play with them, it could be a fun day next week!

If we had a fit (or match fit) , Grimes, Garland, Robbo, Wona, Maric, Whelan, Junior, Wheatley, Jamar, Buckley and Jesus Watts available then we can beat Richmond and anyone else in fact...

Even with those players out ..i still give us a chance as we are a better team this year, even though the scoreboard says otherwise.

Like most games I just can't see us kicking a winning score. Who is capable of kicking a bag? Green? Miller? Sylvia?

Out of those 3. Easy question. Brad Green. Miller and Sylvia play forward more than Green and Green still kicks more goals than them both combined. We can kick a winning score. It`s just got to be our day. Remember Round 7 2008

Melbourne 17.17 (119)

Fremantle 15.23 (113)

Goals:Wonaeamirri,Robertson 4,Davey,Miller 3,Green 2,Moloney.

and against Essendon Round 18 2008 (we didnt win but that can be a winning score sometimes)

Essendon 19.10 (124)

Melbourne 17.6 (108)

Goals: Morton,Sylvia 3,Maric,Bate 2,Bartam,Green,Buckley,Davey,P.Johnson,Jamar,Wonaeamirri.

I doubt it. But if we're going to win only one for the season than it would be great if it were against Richmond (or Collingwood who I know we lost against). I know Richmond supporters would absolutely hate it. If I wasn't working I'd love to be there on the off chance that the Dees get up must to hear what some of the Richmond supporters would have to say. I was there at a game at the G several years ago at a Melbourne v Richmond match. There was this one guy who yelled out "come on. You're better than these silver spooners!" It would be great to hear that sort of vitriol whilst seeing the Dees beat Richmond. The thing that would make it more annoying for guys like that is that they know that, unfortunately for us, Melbourne probably isn't going to win many this year. And for one our wins to be against them would make it even more annoying for them. I can just imagine the calls to Sports Today with Richmond supporters bagging their own players and maybe even calling for their coach to be sacked (poor guy-nothing against the club itself but coaching Richmond's a tough gig with the hatred directed at their coach whenever they have a losing streak). The win would be worth it just to hear the Richmond supporters calling up the radio.

huge chance . they will have an interim coach by then, young forwards, like us lack ruck depth, tag deledio. chipper to play on n.brown. and have no loose men, they crumble under pressure. make everyone accountable. dont get sucked in to tempo footy. thats all wallace will have left come next sunday. if they loose to us wallace will be sacked during the next week. bring it on.

When Robertson comes back we are definitley capable of kicking a winning score. I thought 14.6 90 was a good effort in the end today goalwise. Better than 10.7 against North and 10.4 against Collingwood.

in total we have kicked 34.17 for the year- which is good accuracy. Not enough goals but still accurate.

But compare it to the opening three rounds of 2008 where we kicked 27.36 in total. We have obviously improved our kicking skills and set shot kicking by a lot and I have seen that in the first three games from people like Miller and especially Green.

The main problem with our forward line is positioning.

if we kick more goals than the tigers and are in front at the end of the game.. then yes, i think we can win..

Also, it might help if our players grow a football brain during the week.. seriously dumb footballers we have, that if were smarter would be better players..

2 cents.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
