Rosebury (8), Foot (2) and Williamson (22) tonight.   At least that bald clown Nicholls is not in attendance.  Rosebury is generally good.   Williamson is the worry IMHO.   Let's hope they aren't a factor.   Just want to see a competitive effort tonight and in all likelihood we win if we bring that.   Dees by 26.

There will be enormous pressure on the umps , with 70000 Tiger fans screaming “ baaaaallll” every time,immediately before we take possession. Also the umps will be influenced by them on deliberate OOB decisions.

Last year they got a huge armchair ride in Q1, despite never having the ball.

True, but how much do they want it. We have the talent to beat Richmond.

Still quite a bit of rain around.

It will be a wet and slippery ball.

Weid a late out maybe?

Staying near the ground, with just under 3 hours to go, looks like it's clearing from the west.


Its very wet for the Weid. Smith would handle the conditions better.

I think that we can handle, it's more actual rain that seems to make us literally have a meltdown.

Besides even in the rain last week I felt that we were down a tall, so Weids playing is not an issue. He isn't exactly a clunky forward, he is quite agile and he can give Gawn a chop out in the ruck, which after Harmes' effort last week is much needed.

The g drains amazingly well. if it the drizzle clears in the next 30 mins or so it will be fine


Raining in Collingwood at the moment, sky is very grey and gloomy.

 

At the G now and the rain is getting heavier.

I’m in Docklands looking NW. it is looking clearer.  I expect the rain will pass in about 1/2 an hour.


I hope it keeps raining. We can't just pray it never rains when we play. If we can't win on the MCG on a wet day we don't deserve to play finals.

Radar suggests itll have gone over well before the start. Hopefully the surface drains well

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
