Roof will be closed, no late changes either side

 

 

I've just returned to the welcoming bosom of The Manor so will be an armchair expert today.

I confidently predict a minimum 6 goal victory which I shall celebrate with the maid.

 

Head says we should win by 6-7 goals, MFCSS says we lose,  cop a couple of injuries and McCartin kicks a bag.

 

I'm doing my part, I'm concentrating on my pregame fluid preloading and praying

Was that the great oracle Richard Head?

Is it every time we are on TV we tend to lose?

Or every time I switch on the radio the opposition kicks a goal? And then think it’s my fault for listening!

Probably his brother, Boot.

I thought it was only me...

Hunt practising torps out of the goal square. Most carried about 70m, right up the middle. His last one hit the egde of the centre circle so closer to 80m

Now trying torps at the goals from his favourite pocket. Nailed one of them. All the rest were all over the place... ?

The media are waiting for us to stuff up today. Some said yesterday imagine if Melbourne drop the game tomorrow. This is a game we all know we should win and win well but not at all surprised if we drop it. 

I just hope we are past that stage. Today we need to to and win well. Get that percentage up and get a 2 game buffer on the teams below us. 

Cannot wait. I expect Maxy to dominate the ruck and our midfield to be to strong. 

Carlton are now irrelevant and done as a topic. Saints had their turn this week. North have come good. Dees go down today and we're the story next week. If we win it'll be tommy Hawkins touching the umpires that will be next weeks SEN fodder that lets us off the hook and the goal review system.

Hawkins little brush of the hand will be a major talking point along with score review but there always has to be a team the media has to focus on that is down and out/done/discraceful/need to have a long good hard look at themselves etc.

You are right we are definitely right there ready to be the whipping boys for another week if we lose. If we win I reckon it might be Freo looking like a huge loss along with all their other drama at the moment.

Really dislike having to wait for the 3.20 game on a Sunday – not a fan.


Well im yet to see us win live. I have been to all the other games but couldn't make the nth or bummers game and obviously Ididn't go to Brisbane.  So im hoping im not a jinx

Hunt should try hitting a target from 30 instead.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
