From the sounds of Jon Ralphs tweet I think scully is facing the media today to get it out of the way. Cant wait to hear what he has to say,

    I find it hard to believe Richmond were tanking....

    Point is Richmond weren't and they almost lost. And they rate GWS and the way they go about their footy.

    If "we" don't come to play, we will be in all sorts.

    40 points ? Easier said than done IMO.

    They were awful Richmond.

    More than double scoring shots, terrible disposal efficiency, let a team kick 12 goals from 35 Inside 50s.

    I won't accept anything less than a 4-5 goal win.

    Yes, it's great isn't it? We can look forward to 2 fixtures against them every year for eternity i.e. Sunday twilght home games. Some will take the shortsighted view that it wll give us 2 wins but it will smash our bottom line. We've had FA home games against Essendon, Geelong or Carlton and now we face the prospect of annual home games against a team with no paying fans.

    So we schedule our next home game against the minnows at Mt Buller

    Richmond forgot theystill had to play a game of footy to take the 4pts. They thought it was all forgone...

    Im not overly confident about this game, however i will not accept a loss. Im not forgetting how bad we have been this year bar the Essendon game and 2 quarters last week. If we at all take this lightly we are in trouble, given how competitive they have been. Hopefully their first outing on the MCG is a bit daunting for them.

    Id love nothing more than to see Scully humiliated in some way this week.

    Melbourne has to win this game. Our team has a 150 years of proud history and pride.

    We can't lose to some team that based on a apartment complex.

    We will smash this team and scully anything less is a fail IMO.

    As for sheedy he is going into a nurseing home soon goodluck to him.

    Sheedy jumped the shark years ago - you have to begrudgingly respect his ability to stir the pot.

    You don't have to have iota of intelligence to stir the pot. It's the only thing he's good for though.

    Sheedy is doing us a favor here, he is hyping up the game which will generate more revenue for MFC. He knows he will most likely lose as well and all this is coming at the cost of Scully and the pressure being put on him.

    Sheeds def hasn't said anything out of line here, and it would be good to have a genuine rivalry with GWS to fuel the flame down at the MFC.

    Absolutely. More bums on seats. If 30,000 Demon members and 10,000+ Victorian AFL supporters don't turn up for this one i will be suprised.

    like someone said before we don't want rivalries that won't fill seats- full stop

    If we lose though, my god could you see the headlines!!

    Although in saying that I personally think we will win by 10 goals.

    I feel that this game will be a turning point in our season where we smash pumble and grind an opposition into the ground.

    Mark Neeld will have us up and about for this game

    Don't care about a GW$ rivalry, i am talking about this sunday. We need a good turn out.

    No other club has copped what we were thrown.

  • Quote

    Sheedy has never respected us and feels humiliated that we turned him down for the senior coaching position.

    This burned into a hatred of us and need for revenge of some sort which blinded him to get Scully at whatever the cost causing GWS to pay massive overs for good ordinary.

    The jokes on Sheedy.

  • Quote

    sorry WYL - why would 10,000 + non-MFC footy supporters bother with this game ?

    To see scully cop a flacking

  • Quote

    Surely supporters will have something tasteful in mind for scully? eg monopoly money thrown at him or Wallets flapping when he comes off the ground?

    id like to see a Banner suggesting. "GWS...Welcome to HELL on earth !!. Prepare to burn baby burn !! "

    Am I the only Melbourne supporter who doesn't go to the snow, at all.

    Sheedy doing his part to make we get a 35k crowd into the ground and a bit extra $$ into the coffers. thanks Kev.

    Every supporter base has their own dig.

    Ours is the snow

    Collingwood no teeth

    GWS falafel land

    Cats used to have the handbag thing.

    Premierships quickly dispel those sorts of things

    To see $cully get his rewards.

    Many opposition supporters have vented disgust at how to me we were shafted.

    I think quite a few theatre goers could rock in.

    What Sheeds has said helps.

    maybe lol

    I go sometimes....and currently own a landrover. But i suspect many (most) dont. Its also the source i suspect of much downhill skiing flack re our playing.

    Such is life, some folk are just wanting to take the piste.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
