I have a children's birthday party at my place tonight, so after a couple of hours in the company of 6 year old girls dancing to Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, I'll be shepherding them out the door at 7 so I can scream at the TV in peace.

I haven't been overly impressed by the swans and their recent victories, however fantastic they look on paper.  Our injury concerns and run of short breaks should even things out and I am tipping dees by 10.  Clayton Oliver to be huge and give a big middle finger to everyone who questioned his hardness this week.

Go dees.

IMO their 6 straight losses has shocked them into playing half-decent football. They still have winners across the ground that get them over the line but the thing is the game and league has passed them by. That's not to say they are finished and can still very well make finals. But they are on edge atm. Would love to finish off their season tonight. Just wish we were meeting them in better circumstances with a 7-day break and fewer injuries. Such is life. Go Dees.

There are any number of reasons why we could / should lose tonight, but I'm not having a bar of any of them!

My reasoning:

  • our midfield can match their main strength (which is hardness around the contest), and Max will give us first use more often than not;
  • our pace will get them on the outside;
  • we have the flexibility / options to nullify their game style and key playmakers;
  • our resolve will wear them down.

Dees by 27 points.

how many season defining victories must a team have before the season is actually defined......

Don't know why but I just get the feeling we will pump them tonight. With our ins I see Hunt playing forward and can see him kicking a bag especially if he gets out the back.

Been off work all week. Courtesy of poorly timed Appendicitis (Surgery during first half if West Coast Game - watched the last quarter on the phone in recovery room!). Have had nothing other this game to keep me preoccupied this week...... Has taken for [censored] ever to get to game day, now game day is taking for [censored] ever! Hurry up already!

Biggest game in a decade for us, will be an absolute cracker and no skin at all off anyones nose win or lose. Obviously another win is a huge statement but a loss is irrelevant in the scheme of making and winning finals. How good is enjoying footy again

Should be a classic, cant wait to see if the boys can bring the same intensity as recent weeks.

Does anyone know the last time we won 5 in row? Im guessing 2006.

Really slow day at work, and the minutes are ticking by soooo slowly. Pumped about tonight - will be home on my own so I can rant and scream at the telly. Might indulge in a few Squires' orchard crush ciders to help me through the game. 

Eat em alive Dees!

The AFL website almost gave me a heart attack:

"Has a star Giant blown a hammy" - with a picture of Max Gawn.

Turns out that star Giant was little Zac Williams from GWS.

    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
