Geez I'm starting to get nervous now. Can't sit still. Reckon if I'd been an AFL player I'd be that guy who has a quiet spew on boundary during the warmup.

There's still an hour to go damnit!

My hands are beginning to shake a bit....

I'm taping the game and keeping an eye on the scores today, can't watch this one if we start playing poorly, just can't handle it!!

I'm at work, listening on MMM as it's all I have access to. Would normally pick ABC but the crap radio here a very coarse AM band and the internet connection is too unreliable to stream.

Hate hate hate not being able to see what's going on, but at least the radio is better than nothing.

Plus the radio is something you can throw and replace a little easier than a TV if things go pear shaped...

Yep, might go to the gym for this one and check the scores every half hour.

Never been so nervous about a game. It's weird how indifferent I was about checking scores against Sydney/Freo/Hawks because I basically assumed a loss was imminent; different story today when everyone expects you to win and a defeat would be crushing.

Neil Craig gushing about Melbourne on 3AW, highly rates the job Viney is doing on recruitment, and the way our squad is finally coming together. Paul's influence and all the people he's brought in can't be denied, and "if you're a member of the Melbourne footy club, you can see a nice, steady improvement getting everything into place."

Good on Craigy i was always a fan of him and i know for a fact the players really loved him and had huge respect for him.

He would be that calming influence to the players that are mentally spent there.

I despise Essendon, my step son an otherwise clever lad is amongst those that can't see what the fuss is about. Not looking forward to the weather but am for the game. Will rug up and enjoy the day. Go Dees...tear them one. Deliver the coup de gras a la Hird. Put this club to the sword...inflict pain. May the ghosts of 2000 swarm to wreak vengeance upon the unworthy...in other words make merry hell Melbourne...it is after all our domain.

Rise Demons......slaughter them

Such beautiful words Beez...

No Mercy Demons

Melksham out- who I think is their best player, on game day.

We should win and win well.

Having a beer in the bar and reading the record whilst waiting for the old man, and came across a mind blowing stat.

Spencer's disposal efficiency for the season is 78.4... Wot

You're joking right? Turnover machine. Heppell and Watson are easily their best players.

I live for the day that we achieve complete and utter vengeance for that head on hit of Long on Simpson.

I'm stuck in West Papua thanks to that shitty volcano in East Java.

Thankfully, Australia Plus is telecasting the game. I'll watch it the game on a 32" screen all in low definition analogue.

What a shame the weather is going to potentially even the contest up. I'm looking for a big win.

Gees you get around....

M Jones over 80% and he kicks most of the time, I think. How is effectiveness even defined in this case?

So to all those with pay TV what channel do I tell the staff at the RSL to put the TV on?

Fox Footy

Channel 504.

build yourself a padded room so you can watch the game, you should be forced to suffer like the rest of us.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
