If we play like we did for 3/4 of last weeks game, we are in with more than a chance. I just want to see that level for the whole game. An aggressive start is an absolute MUST.

Absolutely zero reason why we cant pick up another win over the cold pies.

I will know within the first 10 minutes of the game what the result will be. Both from our tackling intensity and the umpiring.

Best of luck to Jayden Hunt. Hope we get to see him with his afterburners on streaming through the middle.

Pretty confident with Today's game. I watched the pies last week, and they were dead set woeful. If Melbourne can nail it's forward press and contain the pies forward line - we should run out as 5 goal winners.

Also, even though Melbourne were terrible against Essendon, Essendon aren't that bad of a side at the MCG. The main difference between the Cats game and our game was that Danniher dominated. I'd be picking the Dons next week over Collingwood if the pies lose today (which I think they will), and maybe still if they did win.

Anyone know if this is Varcoes first game for the season?  if so he wouldnt have played since Nab 3 assuming he played in that game

Yep, it's Varcoe's first game of the season.  So hopefully he is a little rusty and underdone.

Jack Watts has possibly copped more crap than other player in the competition over the last five years in social media, but I am yet to see his girlfriend take to Instagram to defend him. If there was ever any doubt before, it has now been confirmed, Cotchin must be removed from the Tigers captaincy but only after next week. This is footy, AFL, the greatest game in the world, and if your captain of one of the supposed big 4 clubs and spend the majority of the game loitering out the back of packs racking up cheap possessions you will rightly cop some criticism. I never bought into the crap that Watts debut game scarred him for years but I do hope he carves them up today and stars again next week. It would be so bloody fitting.

Hope our forwards setup and play in front of their opponents from the center bounce so our quick kick forwards and center clearances don't go straight to the opposition - it happens week in week out and it's infuriating.

We can win today IF we show up with the correct mindset, no doubt about it. Go Dees!

Bombay, this post is the literary equivalent of a Lumumba possession.

I think everyone fears the old Melbourne will show up today. It's statements like this that help alleviate this fear. Only time will tell though...

Watts said there were some “murmurings” that his side’s round two loss to Essendon at the MCG was “the same old Melbourne”. But he insisted the red and blue was now a far different line-up to previous seasons. 

“We knew that we’re a completely different team and last weekend [against North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena] just assured us of that,” he told Melbourne TV.

Heard it all before, talk is cheap. They can prove it by winning.

Irony? 99% of your posts are whinging and whining. Just because it is directed at other posters doesn't make it any less tiresome. 

I'm pretty confident about today which in turn makes me nervous as hell and think we're gonna get rolled. It's a vicious cycle.

Can't believe we're paying $3 though I legitimately thought we'd be going in favourites.

All that said we simply must win this week (and next). It's non negotiable.

I get sick of the negativity   I often wonder why some even bother to support the team if it brings them so much misery,  that being said the biggest pontificators after a game usually haven"t even watched it     they just whinge because that is their raison d"etre

You already know the umpiring. First free, first goal from a free and most frees to Pies.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
