The Doggies were marching towards the finals while the Dees were in a bad trough. They wiped the floor of Etihad Stadium with us.

Different time,different venue,We are better equipped this time around but will have to be at our best to win.

Hope Stringer doesn't come up.

We are playing a team chock full of talent, dash and attack. Not just Stringer despite his attributes. We will need to be at our very best and be able to respond to their attacks on the ball and the scoreline. This will mean everything working from Gawn and the midfield, to a tight defence, and a forward line that can create space and opportunities. Our attack on the ball and opponent, and reduced error/turnover rate will be critical.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I left that game at half time. I don't think I've ever left a game early in more that 30 years. I even sat out the 186 game.

Listening to the radio the boundary rider (Tiffany Cherry?) made the comment that the Dogs players were coming off absolutely knackered. I predicted that they would get flogged by West Coast the following week at Subiaco, and they did (by 77 points). They had beaten West Coast by 10 points at Etihad in round one.

Obviously, limited rotations, a heavier (probably) surface, and a larger ground do not favour their game style.

Yes, that game was an absolute Barry Crocker.

I dare say however, that we will probably field a team with half of its players different to the one that ran out against the Bullies last August and in addition we know that the likes of Nathan Jones, Bernie Vince and Heritier Lumumba were NQR in terms of fitness - all of them undergoing post season surgery.

Also, we take a different attitude into our game most of the time these days.

Look at that, from the Full back line to the Half Forward line only 4 players that played Saturday night. And only 13 of the 22 the same.

For a game not too long ago, Round 20 last year, that's a significant difference!

Like the Saints game a fortnight ago, from the first stages of this game we looked far too slow, I think being at the G this week will be a big leveller.

I think we'd be helped by everyone getting out and doing a rain dance Sunday morning.

Bulldogs are a very good, but young team; the venue is the biggest advantage we have.

This is the biggest test so far this season. Give us good conditions and let's see where we're at.

How about  "Last time they met at the MCG'    :cool:

Just what I was thinking PA. last years corresponding game at the G we won convincingly (Hoges pointing out Boyd getting dragged to Murphy when Bob was trying to put him off kicking for goal).

my boy was in the guard of honour for the first time. It was a great afternoon out (and 100% dry). We don't need it to rain imho.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
