This game might suit Jesse Hogan if we can get the ball inside our 50 enough times, more fast paced and he might find himself 1 on 1 on more occasions than other weeks, we can only hope so.

 

You're spot on abut i50s. It all starts with clearances.

We've been going over stopping their run from defence and the right configuration for our defence (to Fitz or not to Fitz).

But it all starts and ends in the midfield.

Agree it starts in the midfield. Just hope it ends with our forwards kicking accurately.

Do this and we win methinks.

Confidence/Belief is growing nicely amongst this lot and the injection of Viney is another boost. We should give a good account of ourselves. 2 in a row beckons. My main concern is their experience. Have many more games on average (across their 22) than we do and we have a few more sub 50 gamers as well. If we win we will have pulled off a decent victory here.
 

Earliest game day thread in recent memory. Me thinks a few are a bit excited about this one.

Would be a massive chapter in our revival if we could snag 2 in a row for the first time since 2011, given we have 3 or 4 very winnable games in June and July.

Despite the recent success of Port, this is a very winnable game. We've had a pretty good idea of how to play them for a couple of years, they are in terrible form and a number of their better players are out. If we can get out to a good start it will shake their belief and we could very well take it away from them.

Tat being said, the folks over at Port are no doubt saying right now that this is a very winnable game and an opportunity to get their season back on track...


Bummer. Can't watch. Updates via the iPhone app, plus this Game Day thread are all I have to go on.

Luckily, I have a Masters Degree, and am thinking about a PhD, so all is well ...

I cant watch it either, so im glad you have a degree also...........

We have (or had - hope it's past tense!) the habit of losing the rare games that we go in as favourites. Lid firmly shut for now.

Given our history of not winning and not winning two in a row for many years has anyone tipped us to win?

I want to but my fingers and brain won't let me!

I really just have no confidence that we will win two in a row.

Happy to be wrong.

We ain't favourites Akum.

Last I saw we were $2.75 to Port $1.47


I picked Melbourne to win, go dees.

Today is the day we prove we're not a bottom 4 side and begin our giant killing accent.

We started the week at $4.40.

What happened?


Have they officially had any late withdrawals yet?

If for some reason you arent fired up for the game, just watch this

The time has come for us to put back to back wins together...

We shouldn't under estimate the confidence we bring into this game compared to the Power, makes a big difference.

Wow how to hijack a thread. Some of you do have some issues methinks

Any way, Will watch on Foxtel from the palatial movie room at Chez Fence!

got a feeling today is the day Jeffrey Garlett really gets hold of an opposition


I just got on Melbourne to win by over 15.5 points. Offering of $5.20 was too good to resist.

Garlett 2+ goals & dees to win @ $4.00 is enticing also

I just got on Melbourne to win by over 15.5 points. Offering of $5.20 was too good to resist.

Good to see you're getting more "O" & less "B"!

 

Is there a legal way to watch online? Normally I get to a pub with foxtel but can't today.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
