One week at a time, that's all we can do now. A win tonight and we continue to march towards finals. A loss and we will have to beat the good sides they are all saying we can't.

Love the optimism. 

Go Dees!!!! 

5 goal win

Adelaide have a bit of payback in mind. They'll come out hard. We just need to be in front when the final siren goes.... oh wait

 

Working tonight which will require some strategically placed bathroom breaks for the occasional score check.

Dees by 19

Salem as smokey for BOG

I the wait before the game, gotta find something to do to keep the anxiety/excitement at bay... go dees!


I have no confidence at all. Scheduled a "date" tonight instead so I don't have the disappointment of watching another ''crunch match" loss. Did the same thing last Saturday night.

Hopefully when I check the scores I am pleasantly surprised. 

 

hogan needs to lift. for a big guy he falls to ground far too easily and stages for frees. tmac is twice the player and can kick much straighter.

dees could win but i doubt it. crows by 42

good luck mate. maybe you will at least score tonight ;)

 

Logic says that we should comfortably account for a team we beat by 91 points only two months ago, but logic and reality live worlds apart for the Melbourne Football Club and its long suffering supporters.  I still haven't read last weekend's post match thread and I don't intend to, but I desperately hope that I will be inclined to read today's.  Just get it done Dees ........... one point will do!  Surely that's not too much to ask in return for my patience and loyalty.

The poor bugger is double teamed when in the forward line however when opposition teams go forward their forwards are one on one!

Goody needs to clear our forward line right out. One on ones against Hoges, TMac and Jeffy and/or Tracs and Clarry occasionally would be a nightmare for any defence. We just have to maximise the skills that those guys have. The problem is, we don't. Most of the time our forward 50 looks like an under 10's game.

I doubt that line will have any bearing on the result DF.

i was talking to someone at the club on Monday and they said being a Dees supporter is character building.

My reply was I have all the character I can handle just bloody win.

After that it is hard to see us winning since our last meeting they have a number of there players back from injury and we have ours out.

rule 101..There is NO logic in football


In breaking news the AFL Spuds Association have given the Melbourne Football Club an award for their services to re-igniting the careers of many of their members. The Association President and previous Spud of the Year recipient Tex Walker says the award is well deserved and is looking forward to being the benefit of a similar service tonight.

Kent Kingsley is surely a life member of this association. 

The Crows are aware we dont handle pressure, and (we) are starting to become desperate. They also owe us one for the hiding we gave them earlier in the season. If the game is close in the last qtr, i can see the MFC panic setting in again.

An Adelaide win keeps them in with a chance of playing finals, and almost puts us out, considering our run home.

I have no confidence that we can win tonight. 

Crows by several goals.

Draw.

Dees by 38 goals (points...lol) V.confident!

T Mac 7 goals... ?

Clarry 40+ handballs (poss...?)

Vandenberg too play... ?

Gawn... Unstoppable... ?

 

This game will be tough. A vastly different team to the one we played earlier in the year.

Our midfield will need to look after our defence for 120 minutes, otherwise, Walker, Lynch, Jenkins and possibly Betts will get a hold of our back line. 

Win, lose or draw, I'll continue to back em' in but this game is pretty close to being do or die.

Let's go Dees!

Sorry Demonlanders, I cannot see us winning tonight.

I don't think we will get ourselves up to play 4 quarter football to beat Adelaide at home.

Crows seem to be building with all their good players back, will have the crowd and no doubt the umpires behind them.

We will need our biggest effort all year to beat them tonight.

Crows by 14 points

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • 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.
