So nervous. 

This is the most important clash we’ve been involved in in a decade. 

God help my heart. 

no its not. the geelong loss after the siren was just as big, as was the port and stkilda loss.  all of those games cost our season

I wonder if Gaff will be at the game watching on. 

Perhaps he and Andrew Brayshaw will be watching together.

Look after yourself mate and be right for the finals.

I actually think I threw out my back after the geelong game... thanks for the advice. 

Nervous as hell.

Hope the MCC bar staff are ready for the pre game onslaught I’m about to bring.

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.

Pretty much exactly what I was going to post

Not to mention around 23 last year....

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

The Franklin paranoia is overblown I suspect. The Swans scores in our last four meetings are 86, 85 80 and 60pts

Having said that our top score has only been 50pts....I hope we are past those kind of scores against the Swans. 

I predict the Dees by 34pts....

Living vicariously through one’s offspring is a parent’s prerogative. Especially when it comes to Lego and brainwashing (I mean influencing) in regards to football. My girls favourite songs right now are ‘Happy Dog’ by Justine Clarke and ‘Grand Old Flag’. 

Yesterday I was at a cafe with my 5 year old and he told the staff that he wants to barrack for Richmond and that I wont let him, the waiter backed me and told him that he'd better fall into line and continue the family tradition if he knows what is best for him. 

This time last week I was driving into Cradle Mountain, it was the start of the 1st qtr and reception on the radio was cutting in and out before deciding to turn it off. We checked into our room at qtr time and was blown away by the score. I promptly filled the spa and climbed in with a fat yak (and my beautiful girlfriend) to watch the rest of the game. We flew back last night and are raring to go for this afternoons game. 

Massive game, we’re all aware what’s at stake, no excuses as we have the talent to get the job done.

Sitting back drinking complementry beers from the MFC and their agents talking over the final details of their new contracts with Jason Taylor and Todd Viney in the background...

Not to mention sacking Norm Smith. 


the fans know how big this is, Goody knows how big this, the players know how big this. lets hope they have the belief in themselves and the hunger and desire to play finals footy. 

also, what a great cause that this game will support, looking forward to a great clash in which i hope, pray and want the dees to get up. 

Come on Melbourne!!!!!!

Edited by Tom Dyson

Been  a long week waiting for this. Soon will be leaving for MCG  .  Just  Please please win !@!!!!!!!!  even by 1 point.....  though  would like a comfortable win for my mental health.     

If you look at what the Pies have done this year, Rd 23 last year doesn't look nearly as bad, even the North game to some extent.  Still can't get away from the fact that we both ran out of steam and choked though.

...not this time.

Hearing whispers of a late OUT! Hope if true its not Gawn!

For which side?

I will be following the Match Day thread today so please give a reasonably accurate account of the proceedings. 

If we are in front, please indicate this!! :)


I'm working today, preventing any possible scorechecks until the game finishes at 6:00ish

Godspeed.

 

Where are all the Adelaide based Dees faithful watching today's match? Nervous and need to get out of the house for this one ?❤️?

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • 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.
