Your top end correspondent was in attendance at yesterday's Dees 'training session' at TIO stadium. Which was more akin to a stroll in the park basking in the warmth of the dry season sunshine.  Add a

As long as Kim Jong-un doesn't launch an intercontinental ballistic missile at Darwin tonight then I don't have a problem with us playing there. Go Dees!

Can't see us winning this, too many key players out. One lives in hope, and I'm as optimistic as the next optimist, but Adelaide aren't top of the table for nothing.

Good chance to get a game into the younger/fringe players and for those who are a bit rusty (Gawn, Hogan), but more than that, my expectations are low.

Next week on the other hand ...

I think they've gone in to tall and have misread the conditions. We should have more speed and know how to handle the conditions to use our rotations better. 

Gawn won't have a game like last week, mark my words he'll bounce back hard this week and be best on ground 

Tend to agree on all points.

They only just beat The Blues 1 week prior to us, and had a bit of luck in that win. We got smashed in the middle against Carlton and still got the job done, I don`t think we could play that badly again from centre clearances and Max should have some match fitness now.

I haven't been at all confident through the week but I think we are a big chance, our win over them in Adelaide will give the boys massive belief.

as an aside Virgin and especially Qantas are somewhat to blame for the high cost of flights to Darwin.

The Asian airlines wanted to fly from Asia to Darwin and pick up people for the onward flights to the capital cities down south.

This would have doubled the number of flights to Darwin at least. The NT government and the National Party were fully on favour but Qantas and their lobbyists won out and fares are still  some of the highest in the world when compared to similar routes.

A return flight to London with a 5 Star airline was only a couple of hundred dollars more than a Melbourne-Darwin return flight. Ridiculous!

I'm looking forward to some balanced and informed posts today....(lol)

In Krakow (first time in Europe) and don't have access to the game.

Make sure you go to the salt mines!

Hoping our experience of playing on this ground in this climate gives us a big advantage. They have a pretty tall team so if it gets slippery it should play into our hands with our pace. Just need to play four quarters and we'll be in the game - GO DEES!

Sandy describes it a "must win game for Melbourne" with no real explanation as to why.

Yet again looks and sounds like our supporters are vastly outnumbered.

 

The bloke has been senile for 5 years. They must have given him a weekend leave pass from the home.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
