Not long got to the ground, took my seat and had a cheeky little sip of spiced rum out of my flask. A Weagles supporter turned around and told me I wasn't allowed to bring it in. I took another sip and stared at her before telling her she was ugly and she shouldn't have been allowed in. Hopefully I last the game. 

my sort of bloke

Read out some of your poetry, she won't mess with you after that.

Without Watts and Jones, on a second 6 day break with West Coast having played in Perth last week (and on a 9 day break), and with Gawn playing his first game back, I can't avoid the sinking feeling we just aren't going to get up tonight.

This made me laugh, but for the future you really shouldn't speak to your mum like that.

I am tipping The Dees to win..... by 25 points

*dont actually think we will, but i am sure we can.... just that we wont.

You heard the result here first.


I admit I didn't have the courage to tip us this week, but I really do think we can win. Normally the outs of Watts, Hogan, and Jones would have the doomsday guys coming out in force saying 50+ point loss, it's a real credit to the coaching staff that we have developed some good coverage.

That said I won't be overly shocked if we hit a wall this week. We've had short turnarounds (while they've had a nice cushy 9 day break), a tough contest vs the Pies, and the short break to the fast track of Etihad.

Bottom line for me is I don't think we can have a slow start here, like all away games we need to hit the board early and get some confidence. Hitting the board early also takes the sting out of the local crowd.

I genuinely agonised about who to tip in this game, only went with WC because of the travel and 6 day break.

boo boo boo we will win this

 

At the ground. Beautiful night.

Not going to lie watching our forwards line up for shots I wondered who will kick a score for us.

But - Its a bloody good feeling seeing big Maxy out there with Jack Viney. There's a distinctly ugly street fighter vibe about our midfield. 

Go Dees. Get stuck in.

I have actually taken the tactic a few times this year to tip against us (even when I really think we've got a big chance) with the idea that at least if I'm wrong we win! I will be very very happy to get this tip wrong!

Garlett having a big night will be key for our chances.

Pressure the Meth Coke and they will fall like a deck of cards. 

If we are contesting in the middle we will win. 

Big test for Simon Goodwin ( he has had a few i know) Top 4 is up for grabs tonight.

Meanwhile I actually cannot remember the last time we were on FTA for one of our interstate games. It is such a weird feeling sitting down to watch a Melbourne game in a prime time slot.

Dead right. I just heard Adam Simpson say "We don't want to get caught in a turnover-turnover game. We want to stick to our brand of footy." Translation: We're soft and only like it on the outside. Please don't hurt us Jack Viney. 


A good start is definitely needed here, the locals can get very noisy and umps are easily sucked in here for some reason. Shut them up and we go a long way to winning.

This "The Kick" show is so bad.

The only one of these types of shows that has ever worked is the one Channel 10 did with Hughesy. Was it called "After the Bounce" or something? That and the 5th Quarter were great footy viewing on a Saturday.

Spread the goals. Petracca 4, Jeffy 3, Pederson 2, Hannan 2, Bugg 2, Harmes 1, Gawn 1, Oliver 1, Hunt 1, Viney 1

:lol:


Vince and Lewis must step up big time if we are to win today 

Plenty of reports guys! I am in Germany and not able to view or listen on SEN!

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
