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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
