In: Tyson, Garlett, T SmithĀ 

Out: Harmes, Hannan, Pedersen

Vince will be better for the week off. His good games this season havenā€™t gottenĀ the plaudits they deserve and comingĀ up against a much more experienced sideĀ I want him out there.

Jeffy is a bit of a puntĀ but when heā€™s on heā€™s a game changer and this game is all in.

    Did you know at 1.55 a couple weeks back which Melbourne had shown up against the Bulldogs?Ā 

    Or the game v Norf?

    Is this game make or break for us? I just have a feeling we lose, it makes top 8 chances a lot harder. Looking at the run home for clubs like Hawthorn and Collingwood they can easily jump and push us out. So nervous about Friday night.Ā

    It's probably best to settle in with a nice red or single malt (With coke) and read a good book (give Westworld S2 a miss, what a write off) and dart in/out of the AFL app for an update. But then, my constitution is a bit brittle and don't want #2 in utero to sense the reek of utter frustration that barracking for the MFC has caused thus far. Not a good vibe.

    A single malt with coke! Sacrilege you never never ever put anything in single malt.

    I'm very relaxed about Friday's game. I think we have them covered. Only caveat is the umpires. Watch us get Nicholls and Wallace.

    I'd have:
    Petty for Vince - get a genuine CHB in to build the structure around, Vince the defender with the worst form
    Garlett for Hannan - Hannan hasn't nailed the spot so back to flaky Jeff in the hope he can produce
    Tim Smith for Pedersen - the 3 big talls plus Melksham/Petracca makes a top heavy forward line that doesn't tackle enough, the extra mobility/pressure of Smith helps
    Tyson for Spargo - I didn't want to drop Spargs but the extra mid lets us keep Tommy forward and we get versatility with who goes inside/outside/forward. Probably should be Harmes or Petracca dropped but they have greater upside/flexibility. Strengthen our strength which has to be around the ball

    FB: HibberdĀ  Ā OscarĀ  Ā Jetta
    HB: J. SmithĀ  Ā PettyĀ  Ā Salem
    C; TysonĀ  OliverĀ  Ā Fritsch
    HF: ANBĀ  Ā HoganĀ  Petracca
    FF: Melksham T McĀ  Garlett
    Foll: GawnĀ  JonesĀ  Viney
    Int: Lewis, Brayshaw, Harmes, T. Smith

    Your tongue just before you take your first sip.Ā 

    Although I do prefer a little ice.Ā 

    Coke is simply poison never to be consumed. It is wonderful as a cleaning agent.Ā Ā

    I once heard from an old Scot, that it takes a "just a teardrop of water" to bring out the best in a good single malt.Ā  After all these years following our team OD, you'veĀ probably been shedding tears into your scotch, and thoroughly enjoying it,Ā without even knowing quite why.

    id be tempted to throw Vince in the middle and tag wines out of the game.Ā 

    Ā 

    Out: Pedo, HannanĀ 

    In: Frost, Garlett (Frost to play forward as seen in training this week)

    We've matched up very well on Port in the past and also play Adelaide oval very well. It's narrow ground is similar to Etihad, which suits us to a T.Ā 

    Melbourne by 42 points. Go Dees!

    Agreed, since the Hawthorn game (except for the Adelaide game) our first quarters have been deeplorable.

    Ā 

    Ā 

    Even though we have won our fair share of them? They haven't been our best quarter, but deplorable is way over the top.Ā

    I always have one ice cube. That is my small amount of H2O.

    BTW Chivas is not a single malt. Stick as much coke it as you want. Very strange but... Oh you mean coca cola!

    geez who knew a throwaway line in jest would have so much legs

    lucky I didn't mention the crowd favourite balvenie 12yo and lemonadeĀ

    I don't care who is in or out. I just want 22 committed, tough, hard at contest players that ALL turn up to play on the one night for each other.Ā We need to get rid of the tag of under achievers, softies when big games are on. The last 2 losses to Magpies hurt big time and don't forget the Hawks and Tigers games.Need to win this and win it well to get monkey off us. Time is now Dees and the leaders must do that and lead.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demonsā€™ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      Itā€™s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last weekā€™s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but theyā€™ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last weekā€™s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
