If there's a single lesson to be learned from this round so far, it's that you should never rely on the results of other games. You have to get the job done yourself.

If the team hasn't learned that lesson after the Round 23 debacle last season it will be so deflating for the supporters.  Finals are non negotiable from here.

We will find out in the next 4 games if we have finally taken the next step.  The biggest month of footy for this club in a long, long time.    It all starts today.

Yep, just woke up, the nerves kicking in already. Time to make a statement- go dees!

 

I am not nervous at all. Dees by 48.

Can look at the weekend's results two ways.  Scary as hell because we can still easily miss the 8, or as a massive opportunity to rise up the ladder.

Go dees!


Let’s get the job done today Dees and set up the last 3 weeks. We have a taste for it now. No fuss, no frills. Just win.

Make other teams worry about us for a change.

All the best Vanders and well done Bernie on your 100th in Red and Blue.

Perfect weather is forecast, should be a great crowd and a percentage-boosting flogging.

Exactly what I thought before the St Kilda game :(

Was thinking Hogan to kick 8.

Due for a big one.

If we are 'on' today,  this may not be unrealistic.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Objective should be to win every quarter - one quarter at a time.

Exactly. Win each quarter 6 goals.

This thread is already sounding the same as the game day thread prior to every game we should have won by ten goals but managed to loose in typical Melbourne fashion!

Having said that, am taking my 5yo to the game with the expectation that her flag waving arm will get tired from the 25+ goals we will kick and the most nervous I will get at 3/4 time will be wondering if we will win by 15 or 20 goals ??

We are a 15 goal better side on paper, their midfield is utter trash, Jarrod Witts is their captain, and we have a top 4 spot up for grabs. 

Watch us get rolled. 


If they are in it at 3/4 time then they will truly believe, need to blast them in the first quarter and make them despondent and go through the motions.

It has been an incredible round.  One that should make the dopes running the AFL think twice about radical changes, such as an 18 metre goal square.

Win today and we get to roll that top eight team (Sydney next week) people carry on about.

A misnomer though, as every team in the top eight is vulnerable and, in my view, ordinary by historic standards.

It’s funny how reactionary the media are.

early every season we see high scoring free flowing games, then by about round 5 every coach ever has tightened things up defensively with the result games become tough lower scoring contests, then towards the end of the season, everything opens up again and you get ripping contests like the ones this weekend


Need % today, got a feeling 1 of our last 3 we will get a smacking

Unfortunately thinking is not a skill they seem to have mastered @produce. 

Nor being humble and admit the coaches are working it out themselves and backing out of the changes.

Go Dees let's grab this opportunity by the short and curlies 

Can’t wait for this afternoon. I will be there - Go Dees ❤️?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
