Just heading out to go for a train ride down the length of the Busselton Jetty in WA with the wife and kids. Weather is miserable here, cold, wet and I’m 3500km away from the G. On the plus side, the footy starts at the traditional time of 1.20pm here so that should bring back memories of my childhood!

Really, really want another win today, I’m getting gready!

    Well, I've tipped the Pies to win. So I've done my bit to ensure a Melbourne victory.

    boooooo

     

    Well I'm just about to head off from The Manor in anticipation of a Dees win, a gutful of booze and, happily, not being followed by a Moonshadow.

    My info is that Moonie has put his nethers before footy loyalty and is locked in a steamy tryst in a romantic cottage by the sea.

    WHAT...???

    I’m nervous, haven’t liked the commentary in the last few weeks having digs at oppo supporters. We must remember where we came from, be humble and focus on winning. Thank god the “what they’re saying” threads have stopped. Let’s win, go to the bye 9-3 and rest some sore soldiers. It’s a long year with a tough run home, let’s not get cocky. Collingwood midfield is elite and they have some smart and skilful players, a real test today, go dees

    Pretty nervy about today. Hope it all goes to plan. Need to put some time into atom Phillips he’s been getting away with murder lately. Starts with Big Max, let’s go Dees time to make a statement!

    Most probably SWYL but I suspect it is being used in ....shall we say ....  a manner likely to void any warranty.

    The teams who have beaten us badly this year boast an impressive array of small forwards. My main concern today, surrounds our ability to deal with their small to medium forwards. Really hoping I don't see too many Collingwood speedster leaving Lewis and Vince trailing behind as they run in to goal. I'd like to think we've made the appropriate structural changes since the Hawthorn and Richmond games to ensure we don't get exposed out the back. Our forward line should be too good for them and our midfield should beat them at the contest. It's scary to consider what the rest of the season will look like if we win and win well today.

    Round 23 Elliott had a pretty good day,glad he's not playing.

    He and Fasolo seem to cut us up every time.

    I've had a feeling about this for a little while now.

    I rate Collingwood & Buckley, they've learned their lessons well.

    Could this game be the GF preview for 2018?

     

    They haven’t planned this well. Slide time at 2pm and gates open at 1.30. Lines are building big time.

    Whinge over!

    Just leaving the gaff now. Keys? Yep, Wallet? Yep, Scarf? Yep, MFCSS? - Like herpes Yep.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
