MFC starting favourites

Recommended Posts

Who was our last opposition that started as a $3.00 underdog... besides Richmond a few weeks ago? Probably have to go back to early 2007.

These are the games I generally get nervous about, when the Dees go in as the heavy favourite. I know it was at Etihad but just look at the North game and all the pre-game hype about us.

Anyway, WC with an 18.5 point start might be worth a nibble... and will be quite happy to be proven wrong by the MFC

Been to four games this season and we have lost all of them. Heading to the races at Flemington on Saturday so Melbourne are ABSOLUTE certainties

I'm fairly confident we'll win this game, and that's saying a lot as I'm a glass half empty man. We play our best footy against intersate clubs at the G and Saturday will hopefully be no exception.

We need this win like a dog needs his bone because if we lose this match any slight finals chance will be out the window.

we should win, but we should have beat north melbourne,

we happen to play well against good opposition and against poor opposition we tend to struggle.

would love to see a 40-50 point win showing how much better we are than west coast.

would love to see the russian smash naitanui into place.

Wet Toast haven't won a last quarter all year. I don't think we have lost one.

We should beat 'em.

Unfortunately we have lost one last quarter and it was another team we were favoured to beat - Nth Melbourne outscored us 5 goals to 3 in the last Q.

I'm really hoping we don't see the same thing happen this week.

It doesn’t end there either WYL, I have not seen the boys win since we beat Collingwood on Queens Birthday a few years back. 07 from memory. I am a bloody virus.

First game of footy my dad took me to was the 87 preliminary final, enough said!

Yes the other aspect of this is the weather: fine and 19 degrees. It's our opportunity to get back to the running game we displayed so brilliantly against the Lions.

It will also be a great test for our forward line, particularly Hughes, Bate, Jamar and PJ, and maybe even Watts (although I somehow doubt it). Morton likewise.

Should be a great game and will show whether our gameplan against the Lions was an abberation or it is a future trend. Certainly we tried to play it last week, even in the wet, so all goes well for Saturday.

We are due some good luck with weather. The rain last Friday probably cost us 5k to 10k bums in seats. With the expectation of a win and fine weather and Watts on show it should be enough to convince many closet supporters to get along to the game. Possibly up to 35k at the G this week

With North, I dont think it was the opposition, we just cant play well at Etihad Stadium at the moment. I hate this ground, but we must learn to play well, away from the G. Will be interesting when we travel to skilled stadium and AAMI. It's all experience with the D's ATM.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
