You cannot step into the same river twice. You are not the same man, nor is it the same river.

Therefore, Dees by 22 points.

 

Bernie Vince to be guest speaker at the Interstate Members function. I assume that's a club-imposed punishment.

Skies looking a bit greyer as I grab the gear and head to the door.  I have hope.  Looking forward to seeing us play like we did against the dogs - I'm not sure we have played anywhere near our standard since then.  If we do, I will enjoy my afternoon at the G'

GO DEES!

 

Judging by the crowd,Melbournes fans are more successful ,urbane and sophisticated than any other team in the AFL.

Our female fans are the best looking in the AFL.

Port in the other hand look like they have just rolled up from a homeless shelter for the mentally deranged.Rough as guts .

Kochy can barely hide his disgust at his track suited cheer squad .

We are winning the fashion stakes already you will all be pleased to hear.

I've driven 25kms in a remote area just to log onto this thread.  It hasn't let me down.  Well done all contributors.  Love the optimism!  Fortunately I have access to Foxtel this arvo, otherwise I would have found a reason not to be in this part of the world.

I'm quietly confident of a win by a couple of goals.  Our pressure and 'never say die' attitude should get us across the line, I reckon, and once again have the media talking us up.

GO DEES!,

Having attended games against all other clubs over the years I can confirm both the above are 100% correct.

I watched that game (don't judge me!). I'm unsure what that says about Port as West Coast were very average that day.

Exactly 

Just arrived at the G, a mate ran into Ben Matthews and was told Viney a certain starter. In saying that, Pedders was just out there warming up for a few minutes.

We have never won on a return game from Darwin... we will find out today if thats just cos we have been such a poor team for many years or if the trip drains the players.

Although we have changed a quarter of the squad from last week, four of those guys are returning from injuries and haven't played in a few weeks at least.  The other guy hasn't played AFL in a year.

Interesting times ahead.

Didnt seem to affect the crows off a six day break last night so shouldnt affect us.

Very windy

Their win against West Coast 2 weeks ago probably their best for the year.

They were clearly the better flat-trackers on the day.

Have you gone over KK?


Am watching from afar - Siem Reap in Cambodia. I note that clown Maggot 15 is listed to run around and impose himself on the contest. Not a good sign. Despite that, go Dees, and both Jacks on their special days. A massive day - not the be all and end all, but a win could really set up the rest of the year. Go Dees!

Yes, I think BHC is our biggest concern.

Wearing so many layers I feel like the Michelin man. At least 5 of them are MFC paraphernalia. Now just need the boys to bring the heat and light up a fire on the ground.

Stoked to see the return of Trenners today.

I would put money on him picking out a free kick to a Port player at the first bounce.

Probably against Gawn.

Probably against Gawn.

Absolutely. Even if he's positioned 50 metres away in the forward line.

Look at meeeeeee

Very philosophical for a Saturday.  I don't know what it all means, but I like the last part!

Train arrives at Camberwell station and a phalanx of Dees supporters strut onto the train.

Just to add to the stereotype.

Bernie's punishment, your gain.  I'd love to hear him speak at one of those events.  Top bloke, layed back country attitude and has been great for the MFC.

His suspension was silly and I'm not sticking up for his actions on Betts, but I actually think his break is well timed in a sense.  I've thought he could use a few rested games this year and when you look at all the in's we have today, it might have been almost the ideal time anyway.  Without counting too many chickens, I recon Bernie is just the sort of player it would be good to have fresh and cherry ripe for finals.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
