Moscow Calling...

One of the advantages of being overseas is that in Mellbourne time you are up all night.

I thought it was very nice of the Socceroos to schedule their opening game against France during the MFC Bye.

FIFA was obviously scared of a clash with the Antipodean power house the MFC has become.

QB has always been special and it is even more so now because of Neale Daniher.

The Pies think they are travelling well but we know a team who is travelling even better.

Dees by 30 ...Go Dees

PS If you want to drop over to the soccer thread on Demonlands Other Sports forum I will be posting about my time in Kazan where the socceroos are based and where they play their opening match next week.

    DJ, you must be really jet-lagged, a dangerous combination with the vodka .

    The game was yesterday, we won by 83 points, Hogan kicked 8 and now leads the Coleman by 5 goals.   Fritsch was BOG.

    The news will get there soon, comrade.

    I wish my monster truck star for sleeping in till 6 incentive program worked on my son every day - he must sense the Occassion that today is.

    awaking at 4.45am without a scheduled flight to Hawaii or France or to head to the snow is most uncivilised.

    I knew I slept in but was never gonna beat that.

    Gotta go to work but start at 6, work through lunch and knock off at 2 I should be laughing.

    Can really see another 10 goal win here. I think we are a 5 goal better side than the pies and will turn it on today on the big stage.

    Hibberd to have a huge one.

    Dee's by 64.

    Game stsrts at 10.20pm here. 

    Looking forward with trepidation.  We’ve played some fabulously exciting footy the past 6 weeks, but it seemed all opponents were playing poorly!

    Hopefully we forced them to be poor, but I’m still aprehensive what will happen when a good team really brings their best game against us!

    Off to sleep now in my part of the world. 7.20am game time for me. I will watch the first half and then shower and get breakfast ready during the half time break. Dees by a lot.

    Same time for me. You in Europe somewhere?

    Already awake as I’m so excited. Can’t wait for this payback.

    3:20 start in my part of the world. Will be at the G, cheer squad end. Sunny day expected, will also shower at halftime.

    Two big milestones today.  Trac plays his 50th game, and Jordie Lewis , with his first disposal of the day, will hit 7000 disposals in the AFL.  (Who keeps track of that stuff??  LOL)

    As I've said many times in the past, there's two things that bring me joy.  The first is Melb winning, and the second is Collingwood losing.  When they happen in the same game I am ecstatic!!  May today's game be the one!!

    GO DEES!!!!

    Beijing saying hello back, though in actuality I'll be on a train to Hangzhou whilst game on. Here's hoping the wifi works lol... otherwise i might be only able to check scores occasionally .

    Pies won't be bucking the trend today. Dees by 13 in a tussle.

     


    Work for me alas. 

    But will keep an eye on the game. I wonder if the ease of some our victories will come back to bite today.

    Our win streak will come to an end at some point. I hope it will not be today as it really does mean something.

    cant go today spiral fracture in foot looks 4-6 looking forward to big win go dees

     

    Should be at work today... however I wrecked my back and have been on leave for 2 weeks, now I don't miss any of this game, happy days!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
