yes and i cant wait

Would love to see VIney dominate today

Very excited to see Dawes play his first game

Really Keen for this one, Should win, get to see Dawesy in action for the first time besides the one quarter in the NAB cup!

Bring on the suns!

 

I'm expecting a big win today. 30-60 points would be great, although anything north of 1 point would be acceptable.

2 weeks ago I asked what everybody's number was in counting how many NQRs we had in that week's 22.. the result was the same number I had voted - 8

I look at today's side and I count 11.. that can't be a good sign

no idea what to expect today, anything from a 40 point loss to an 80 point win

While some of our NQRs are certainly not Pennski material, many of them are hard tacklers and hard runners (which is exactly what we need at this stage of our development).

The doomsday talk on here beginning from around 7 oclock tonight will be unprecedented

I wonder who is going to kick their goals, we have options up forward, without dixon i can't see who is going to kick them a bag and give them a winning score, guys like frawley should be too good for their direct opponent.

 

Another massive Neeld error. For several days the weather forecast has been for late rain. As I look at the radar it would seem that we are in for a very wet game. Simply we are way to tall for wet conditions. There is no excuse for this. It is an incredibly unprofessional error. My opinion of Neeld has again dropped. He is a disaster

We will get smashed due to the midfield dominance of GC and lack of beneath the knees agility due to playing too tall for the conditions.

Maybe this will be Neelds last.

Now there's a line I haven't heard for a while :)

Nope - will see out his contract....and there could be a late change in the line - up coming up.

It's a nice change isn't it, is it possible to swap rodan or davey for sellar yet though? if it's wet surely another big body would be good around the ball

Ablett was already going to look a class above everyone else on the field. In wet weather he will look like an alien, such will be the differential in skill level.

I'm pretty sure you can.

Perhaps Rodan?


Davey late in for Tommy Mac. Davey sub

Agree - he'll be shimmering....and Danks free.

It's raining, I cringe to see Sellar operate in the wet

If that dude caught a quarter of the balls he got two hands to, he'd lead the league in marks. He and Shaun Hampson are in a class of their own in that regard.

Yep, official


Davey late in for Tommy Mac. Davey sub

Ouff. Thank god we at least included Sellar ... his chance to refind some of his solid form down back from last year.

Maybe more going on with Tommy Mac than we know about ...

Crows might top our 148 point loss here, looking pretty bad for the Giants, in the 4th quarter and the scumdog millionaire has 8 touches.

Nope - will see out his contract....and there could be a late change in the line - up coming up.

You would expect so. But there needs to be two late changes. Roden and Davey must come in. Sellar plus one more big must come out. Magnar would have been perfect in the rain.

As for Neeld, if we hold this coach as you suggest, he will drive us off the cliff. I don't believe the board has suicidal tendencies. No coach has ever displayed such incompetence, and continued thrashings and survived.... Neeld will not survive.

Lynch has 10.

GNF, we're in the wrong thread for this chat.

I know you're not a Neeld fan, but please, less histrionics.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
