Adelaide at their best, at home, and with our outs would be enough for them to get over the line but are they at their best or close to that form? They struggle with pressure and I'm convinced especially after last week we'll bring it. Our form against Geelong impressed me so much and with no changes to the lineup we'll build on last week. With that the Crows will need to play really well to beat our pressure, I don't think they can, I see us being too determined and ultimately too good.

 

Dees to win by 42 points and fire up some confidence to win all remaining games. We should beat them

Good news - the ladder is opening up nicely.

Bad news - we are Melbourne.

I predict:

Easy goals out the back

Bombing long to forward line

Goodwin to persist with poor match ups

But we still win by 7 goals?


Wowee, by oh boy.

Another big test again tonight vs the Crows in Adelaide.    

And what better antidote to last weeks heartbreak than moving a step closer to a finals spot while simultaneously ending the Crows season.

Lets get it on!

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.

Dees by 59.

Hogan BOG.

This is how we should be every week from pre-season on.

One week at a time, stay focused,,,  'or mindful', of what we're doing. not getting ahead.

 

All the same thing... remain focused on the challenge right before us.

I don't think we've nailed this focus, just yet.

I think we'll start slow but then thump them tbh.

We don't want to start slow. We can't play catch up footy tonight.... because we won't catch up. 

Need to start in front to end in front

I believe, rather ironically, that by focusing on the classic one week at a time, the challenge before us it will give our coaching staff the ability to focus on the longer term.

 

Funny game...

Don't you go getting all serious on me Roost, game hasn't even started yet mate! :lol:


Seriously, if all the talk pre season and during season about ‘hurting’ after last year’s debacles and last week’s heartbreaking loss, doesn’t amount to a life or death performance tonight, nothing EVER will

Not watching tonight. Hurt hand last week punch the floor. Not this week.

Absolutely pumped for tonight

should  be a cracking contest


I’m not opposed to Pedersen playing if he plays very well

Hopefully we can find out pre-game if he’ll play very well.

Hogan, Harmes and Pedersen all visible in the rooms on MelbourneFC instagram video

Pedersen likely just warming up as the 23rd man.

If Hogan and Harmes are there, the only other one under an injury cloud was Oliver, and no way Pedders replaces him. 


No late changes, according to the AFL.

Sign that the air conditioning is working when it shouldn't be.

  • 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.
