Hoping the likes of Brayshaw and Hogan make today's game more entertaining to watch than last years game.

If Collingwood win today they'll have 7 wins and they will literally have beaten the 7 bottom sides on the ladder.

They're nothing special.

Richmond and the Bulldogs are better sides and we beat them, easily. If our players remember that, and don't view the QB stage plus the big crowd and the opponent as being more meaningful than they actually are, then we are absolutely in this.

I didn't. He just hasn't been the same in the 8 games since.

That was his 200th game and he really lifted for it.

Just hope playing his old side gives him the extra motivation to lift again and continue for the season, not just a cameo game.

Hasn't hit some of the heady heights with the Pies but then he is surrounded by players who also dont rank as highly as he had around him there so I dont think you can expect "like for like" form every match playing in this list.

I still rate him though. Very highly when played in his traditional position off HB. Not sure he is suited to any mid field focussed role and woildn't rate him as highly when asked to play a role there.

The AFL ratings also has him right up there ranked 13 out of approx 120 small/medium defenders (and rising). Approx one quarter of the matches used for that rating have been with the MFC now.]

Blues skies and a huge crowd building outside of the G. Its almost like a finals type atmosphere.

Just hope the boys can get up today and experience that real winning feeling in front of a big crowd!

Cmon Dees!

Blood spilt for Danners today Demons

Do not care how you do it.

Contest by Contest

For God Sake kick goals. Just take 'em on

I think the Demonland wrist-slitting will give us enough spilled blood. We probably won't need any more.

I thought we played quite well last year.

We were fairly close near 3/4 time when the umpire for some inexplicable reason denied Bernie's goal after marking and playing on.

Then the pies kicked a goal just before the siren so it was a 2 goal swing.

We couldn't get our mojo back.

We have a better team this year so expecting a much closer result.

Could go either way.

Just finished a bike ride and will be heading to the G with Son of bjDee. Heartened by the great wins of Tiges on Friday and Scorps on Saturday. Here's hoping the Dees turn up today and give it a massive crack.

That's part of the the problem, as soon as something goes against us we go into a melt.down. Edited by america de cali

FINAL TEAMS

Collingwood vs Melbourne

Jarrod Witts OUT for Collingwood, replaced by Ben Kennedy

Subs:

Collingwood: Ben Kennedy

Melbourne: Matt Jones

oh yeah I called the ruckman late change. Now we look too tall with Fitz.

Could MFC potentially make the change of Grimes for Fitzpatrick now or is it too late?

Always seem to go in too tall!

it would be good to see the final team before submitting your own. But unless you pull a "injury in the warm up" I think that's all we can do. We look far too tall now.

Great to see such a good turnout for Cure MND and lets hope the boys give us a win to cure depression in long suffering Melbourne fans.

Posted

Worried that they've dropped one of their talls, yet Fitzy is still in. Feels intentional from Collingwood.

Posted

Not a good marking day with this wind. I reckon the dees will be competitive but it does not bode well for Hogan and his marking prowess. 2 to 4 goals the pies.

Posted

Looks like Fitz will play forward and be our second ruckman. Warming up with Gawn in the middle.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
