It's just another day but you wonder what else it's going to bring?

A WIN 

 

Fine china placed in top cupboard & cat given to neighbour.

Hawks, Swans and North have opened up 3 top 8 spots that we are fighting for with half a dozen teams. 

Port will take one for sure. We lose today it's not curtains but will make it very difficult for us.

We can win this one, we will have the fresher legs ( just ) and I expect us to run away with it in the last quarter.


Either way, will be home for tea. These early ones are odd.

And isn't that a powerful motivator.  Surely, that will spur the team on to overcome challenges.  Won't it?

Add Freo to that and that is 4 of the 2015 top 8 teams. 

If ever there was a year that a team was going to sneak into the 8, this is it.  Will be incredibly disappointing if we don't get there this year.  Especially if the likes of Ess, Rich, StK do.  

Will leave town for the finals season, if that happens!!

I've graduated from 'woe is me'  to quietly confident about our prospects as the week has progressed.  The team selections (both sides), and a slightly longer break, give us a bit of an edge imo, and I think we can play harder for longer and get over the line ........  but Tracc needs to be 100%.  He could be the difference if it goes down to the wire, I reckon.

They use up a whole day I prefer the 4 pm starts.

Seriously considering not watching this and working around the house. Less stressfull.

Would be a good time for an overseas trip Luci. Somewhere isolated and sans internet.

Our little one came down with a virus on Friday and was chucking all day yesterday. At least that gives a me an excuse not to go to that cesspit of a stadium.

Not holding my breath for this one. Something has been off in the last 2 weeks, injuries aside. We just havent had that sustained hunger. Hopefully Lewis can come in and show some leadership - as we have been devoid of it for weeks.

Really want to see Viney have a big game. Hasnt been his usual self all year.

Sitting on the Tarmac at Tullamarine. Will miss the whole shebang - after the last 3 weeks this is good for my health. 

Whenever I get to wifi later I'll find out if we're still on the hunt or staring down the barrel. 

Good luck boys and girls.

GO DEEEES!!! 

On the way we are playing, we are one of those teams that might 'sneak' in.  Until we find the groove with the game plan and get a few fit bodies back, I think that is our reality.

I think Richmond will be this years North - they are a pretty crap 5-0 team, and I think they will be totally pantsed by the Crows.We can write off North, Swans and (maybe) Hawthorn, although Hawthorn are the more likely of this bunch to get their Mojo back.

I think there will be lots of upsets all year.  I so want us to win today - because it is the bummers, because of how it sets up our next 6 weeks, and how it sets up our season.  

If injuries aren't an excuse then a loss today and being 2 and 4 is a failure in my books.

Handy in my case.

As soon as the final siren blows I'll be heading for the Skybus to the airport and will land in Perth by 8:30pm (WST).

Totally agree - need the forwards to fire and someone (anyone) to do the job on daniher. Lewis back is huge - and I think helps us  be quietly confident of a win. 

Ok. Crystal ball out

Damn... it's cracked.

Anyhow. 

How we win.:

Stop their thrusts before hb.

If cant win ruck , shark them . Filth did it for years.

Contest, contest CONTEST the ball. Lock it up, deprive them of run.

Wear Joe like glove Touch him up mercilessly. Thats your job Sam...run with and deny.

Lewis and Pig. Command central for rebound assaults. Your kicking is crucial to that next target.

Tommy Tommy Tommy. Do that good stuff you do but for Christ sake give ir to Pig or Lewis to 'dispose'

Bernie...need a pearler from you. 

Chunk. No hero rubbish ...good solid ball winning...get rid of quickly...like Clarry be !!

Clarrry...just be you.. you're fine ;)

Nev ... Big day son...shut down someone :)

Milkshake. Today you deliver....or f@#$ OFF!!

Viney. Wanna play general. Be GENERAL !! LIFT son. Solid SOLID game required.

Jeffy...ffs today turn it on....to Max !!

Harris... meh...hmmm. Score...or go home.

Dom dom dom. Time for the good Dom to reappear. 

Pedo. Make this game yours !!

Watts. Well ..you know watt you're doing....just keep doing it ;)

Truck....Big Mack time !!

ANB. Know where boundary line be like !! 

Hannan ...fly under radar and over them. Good luck ;)

Go Dees

( Cant come home with eldest gloating.....again !! )

You know Mono, that just about sums up gameday for a Dees supporter. One of the best posts of the year so far. Gold. 


So if we lose today we r on the same wins as Carlton! F  A  R  K  ING Carlton  

Now that would be depressing. 

I have little confidence about today and I'm sick of feeling like this.

If we lose some apologist will come out and gloat that our percentage is better than Carlton's. Try and console yourself with that.

Will roof be closed?

How do they make that decision?

Losing to Freo on our own dung heap had already demolished the injury excuse.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
