I remember a few years ago, when we were a Finals team, we were playing a Lions side at the Gabba that were bereft of their best players due to injury. We became quite warm favourites due to their 'outs'.

Naturally, we were thumped.

They interviewed our mate Trav Johnstone, and TJ indicated that there are plenty of players that can take Browny's spot if he doesn't get up.

Sounds like something that moron would say

They have plenty of other game-smashing super champion goalkickers down at Brissy that can come in

I think we were beaten before we took the field against Brisbane for a few years, in fact even when they were the whipping boys of the competition we used to struggle against them.

Disappointing.

I was looking at this week showing us where we are at as a team against a quality side, and I was really wanting to see how Chipper, Warnock and our backline would perform up against two massive units.

I'm not complaining about it at all, it should make the job a little easier for the guys, but i do love watching our up and comers and how they approach playing on a superstar.

Don't Worry, we will have many more opportunities to play the Twin Towers-Right now Game Time & Cohesion is what our backline needs

Playing against Brown & co with another 15 odd games under the Belt can only help.

Bailey has got to make sure they ALL stay focused. It's still going to be one hell of a game.

Will they wear the "Paddle Pop" jumper????

anyone reckon we should have chip and warnock on fev?

one of them try to block his lead?

just a suggestion haha :)

If Brown is out play Chip on Fev & get him to run off him all night. Fevola won't be able to go with him up the ground.

Hmm.. possible merit in trying to cut out Fev completely by focusing on him, and rotating the freshest possible opponent on Brown. He may be hit for every attacking thrust and kick eight in three quarters, but he'll be buggered for the last. It'll be like Nathan Thompson's big day out which ended because Carroll kept running him onto the wing.

Other than that, we'd have to be trying to lay a tackles record. No tactic in defence is going to work if those two are getting good delivery.

In the meantime, we've also got to just keep on attacking like crazy people. There's going to be a bunch kicked against us, we just gotta get one more.

There's my plan - cut out Fev so Brown has to do all the work/leads, tackle like mad, and keep pouring on the attack.

Not impossible.

Good news for us. Also their pinch hitting forwards (Clark, Luey) won't be suited to the conditions at all. Our small, quick forward line will work in our favour.

Lets smash em and get in the 8.

God some people on this site are so anal retentive and smart arses. We can't all be Phd's in spelling (who would want to be, you must have such a happy and interesting life). I thought this site was all about the celebration of the wonderful MFC to which anyone could contribute no matter what their education and income. Unfortunately there are some melb supporters who think membership of the MCC and the ownership of an Old Melburnians tie (both of which I have but you are welcome to them) is more important than contributing to the progress of the team of the red and the blue.

Some of our fellow supporters are so far up themselves it is not funny.

You see, the thing about Melbourne supporters is they take pride in edumacation.

It stops them from doing dumb stuff like comparing Jack Watts to Luke Molan, then mouthing off about 'contributing to the progress of the team of the red and the blue'.

Most of the time.

Shattering news. I was truly looking forward to watching him live at the G on a saturday night. Any chance you get to watch one the greatest forwards of our time take on melbourne is one worth watching.

I remember watching Carey destroy us one friday night, kicked 10 I think from memory. I was pretty young but I will never forget it. Not saying I like watching my team being torn to bits but its something you cant help but admire.

No excuses now, Brisbane are not ST Kilda and will struggle without Brown. There are a few little things beginning to go are way. Big chance if we can bring the intensity of the past weeks

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
