GAMEDAY - Round 19

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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
