I am touring in a beast of uncertain origin named Maui 

Thats too bad... could have got you in at Berkeley River Lodge..... I'd have had to vouch for you though ;)

Anyone know if the carpark at the G is open today? 

 

Lose today and don't deserve to play finals. Best of luck to Harry Petty on debut. I think our backline looks more balanced on paper and we should see Hibberd and Smith play more natural running roles. Still think we are one outside runner and one crumber short for my preferred set up but on a dry track it shouldn't be the difference today.

    Good summation. Pig needs to be running..releasing not ties up playing prison guard.

    Be interested to see who actually plays where.  Today we can reboot (pi ) but will we be allowed.

    Yeah the Aints ain't what they used to be...treat with contempt at your peril.

    Dees will want to be 5 up at the first break.StK have NOTHING to lose...we do....and we can be quite good at that !!

    Go Dees

    A win, and preferably a big one, will see us secure for another week.  A loss, and it will be time to lock up the cutlery drawer.

    Dees by a mile

    Will be watching from the couch. Looking forward to Petty’s debut and better use going inside 50. Can we also just leave TMac as the deepest fwd all game.

    Is it just wrong that im going today just knowing we will win? 

    But good to be back at the G and its going to be a nice day weather wise. Hope to see Hogan and Petracca bounce back and find form.

    Might be !!

    Demons will most likely test my resolve. Is it against the spirit to pay for a cheat day on the very first day?

    However,I shall soldier on manfully and expect my spirits to be uplifted by the Dees dishing out a jolly good thrashing 

    And hopefully they can then go out and best St. Kilda in a game of football too.


    Nervous about the outcome today .

    if they beat us at our own game we are doomed 

    Although id be trying to run run run if I was the saints. 

    Hopefully  we stand up have some meaningful inside fifty’s and get it done

    Would be the biggest upset of the year if we lost. 

    Wonder, just wonder, what are the umpires going to do to keep the Saints in the game - for an eventual victory, again at the MFC's expense. Just wouldn't put it past the umpires/AFL.

    We are a much better team than the Saints, and our form isnt as bad as 2 losses from our last 2 games suggests. We have something to prove.

    Us by 6 goals or more.

    until proven otherwise......that's EXACTLY our form...what is....IS

    I am feeling better about today than I have all week. Don't know if that is good or bad. If we lose it will be probably our season ( statistically not though ) and the train to Belgrave is torture after a loss.

    • 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.
