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.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
