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.

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...

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.

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.

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

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
