Forget Gawn , Oliver , Hogan, and Oscar. Our most important player today is Frost.. if he holds Franklin to less than 3, we win

Only if he tasked that ;)

Goody will have to redefine his defensive strategy to gorilla mind ...ie man a man. Can't allow buddy ANY space ;)

 

Completely relaxed.

Sydney are rubbish.  If we can't beat them and beat them comfortably then we don't deserve to play finals.

Naturally, I'll take a one point win, but I expect a 30+ point victory.

    Well today’s the day. Biggest moment since Rd 23 last year. You can either take the opportunity presented to you or spend a long time wondering what could have been. Are our boys up for the challenge? Are they ready to announce themselves as a bonafide finals contender? Only time can tell.

    Starts in the middle today. Not the Buddy matchup, not the forward pressure although these things are important. We HAVE to win contested ball and go hard from the get go. 

    As for pre game pubs I’ll be at the Sporting Globe today getting in on some Buffalo wings and beer!

    Speaking to a fellow Dee over a Parma last night ( a Parma for a farmer of course and I highly recommend others support our land folk also.. find a venue donating in this cause ) 

    ....that I can't see it being that close. 5-6 goals either way. Who ever cracks...will split open.

    Forget Gawn Oliver.

    Stunning three word analysis.

    I'll be sanding my back deck this morning.  You could come over and do that for me if you want to pass some time.

    Hopefully it becomes an analogy for this afternoon - 'grinding the Swanies into the ground!'

    Tip: be carefull when sanding not to remove any of the protective coatings on the screws or nails or your gonna get rust.

    I share your sentiments.

    I also feel strangely confident that Frost will contain Franklin.

    Excited about this one however stuck in hospital awaiting  MRI results to see if back surgery is required. Might be out for this game if I am I'll be having demon dreams of tommy mac and jessie combing for 14 goals and us winning by 67 points 

    Great news...no surgery, well at least not for today. Means to get to see our boys get up!! 

    Super excited to see hunt back, if he gets up and going he will make is a much better side.

    It's not the containing im worried about, it's the run out of defence and turnover that ends up coming straight back over his head! ?

    Odds are now $1.36. Punters think we will get it done.

    $1.34 on Sportsbet now, still $1.40 on TAB.

    If we keep coming in like this, it means either that Gawn is a definite starter, or that one of the Swans better players is in doubt, potentially a combination of the two.

    Hopefully the headline in the paper tomorrow is 

    DEE DAY

    Maybe tomorrow’s headline could be another thread ?

    Tomorrows headline will be . Melbourne win but still have not beaten team in the eight. Media cannot help themselves.

    I think I am out. I don’t want the tv on, all mobile devices to aeroplane mode, radio off. Will record game and hope to god we win. 

    Also may not be able to help myself. 12 Long Years. The world has seen a black president. The rise and fall of IS, britex, gay marriage, China’s rise to economic powerhouse: the list goes on. I even think John Farnham did a last ever tour!

    Maybe just maybe, it will conclude today with

    Dees fire up and sizzle the Swans, finals bound!

    This - 1000 times this.

    I can't go (Mrs Frankie's father has his 87th birthday...), and I don't know if I'll be brave enough to sneak a peek at the scores.

    My MFCSS is firmly in-charge - I worry that this will be St. Kilda Mark II. Beaten in the mid-field, then sliced  open. 23 points down and half time, and never really  in it. That's what happens to you when you saw the last flag this team won, and have been belted up ever since.

    Go Dees - make me a believer.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
