It's not a reality check if we lose. It would be a reality check if we had Watts, Jones, Salem, Hogan, Garlett etc. running around tonight and got done.

An interpretation of the situation, but I accept your point,

Its going to be tough to get the 4 points tonight. 

Perhaps a reality check. 

Despite our greater depth the absence of key players does make a significance difference to the game and team attitude.

Look at the Swans first half of the season and the impact injuries had to their win-loss ratio.

If we are competitive we will have done well.

It will be a challenge to our depth, flexibility and game plan.

I can't see how we nullify Buddy tonight particularly if TMac plays up forward.

The way we play tonight will really test all players, coaches and their belief in themselves. It's critical that we get a good start and do not have to play catch up footy. 

Its amazing how 4 consecutive wins changes attitudes and perception. 

I am not looking forward to tonight but do look forward to getting players back so that we can really see what we have got at the business end of the season.

 

I'm of a similar view Ernest, but the glass half full approach is that we're not substantially weaker than the team last week. Remember, Jeffy was jogging around the i50, and Salem was on the pine for a fair stretch. I like the ins, they'll crack in hard.

ive picked the swans, just, but I give us a red hot crack at this one. I reckon the 3rd 6day break might just be a bridge too far.

ill most happily be proved wrong.

 Big game for many reasons but being friday night all of the expert commentators that dont watch enough footy will have a more informed view of what the dees are all about .

I thought the Dogs would beat us.

I thought we'd get pummelled over in the west.

I'm done putting a ceiling in this group. Demons to win it tonight against a Swans outfit that is on fire.

He said "I believe" therefore it is his belief only. one can assume just an opinion

I'd call play on

Beating the west coast eagles in Perth on a short break with the players we had out is a bigger ask than beating the swans at a ground they don't play very well

We could be playing our Casey team tonight and I'd still tip the Demons.

17 points.

T.Mac might play on Buddy based on past experience. O.Mac might surprise by ending up at F.F . Harmes could be a surprise package. Swans fav due to number of injuries to the Dees. It is good to see  the revolving stock players in Ped,ANB,Harmes etc  becoming more consistent this year.

Melbourne to run them off their legs tonight Hunt or no Hunt. We believe and that makes us unbeatable. Now if only the fans would start to believe.

If we are able to beat the Swans tonight it would be an amazing feat given the run would include the reigning premier, the runner up, and weagles away!...

 

... oh

and collingwood. ?

Everybody, start getting into game mode.

Let's replicate the manic last minutes of the QB clash for the boys. 

We can do this tonight!!

I don't think it's appropriate for me to rock back and forth in the fetal position whilst sucking my thumb and mumbling something about Neeld or Prentagast whilst at work.

Fox Footy had the Round 1 2011 clash between Melb & the Swans.  Swannies led most of the game, until Brad Green put through an absolutely spectacular goal to put us in front with a few minutes to go.  Alas, the Swannies managed to kick a point right near the end to end the game in a draw!

Trenners played well, and it was Luke Tapscott's first game.  He also played well, and they were talking him up as a real find for Melb, and a 10 yr player.  Alas, was not to be.

Anyway, back to 2017.  Big game.  Let's see the Mighty Dees bring it home in front of a big Friday Night crowd at the "G"...!!

Beginning of the end, that game. There was something "off" from round 1. We were hot favourites and should have smashed them. It was an ugly game to watch if I remember correctly.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
