hoping for the double today. Dees get up and the storm win across the rd. 

I have no idea what to expect today.  Hope we get off to a good start.  

The  players have spoken about embracing this pressure so i hope they bring it  today

    No late changes for either side. 

    Funny how some were squawking about insider knowledge that Gawn was out, yet here we are. The Iron Man lives on and is ready to feast on Callum Sinclair.

    Goody hasn't been wrong this year with his playing predictions.

    When I saw Picket had the inside word that there may be a late change I knew we were all good to go.

    That sucks. I got sick of it and brought the subscription. Couldnt stand the adverts either. 

     

    Geez just looking at the lineups, we really need a good game from our half forwards in Pedo/VDB. Rampe and McVeigh are smart and dangerous rebounding players. We look exploitable in that area.

    A couple of beers at the Sporting Globe have calmed the nerves somewhat. But I don't think anything can truly prepare you for what is ahead. Come on Dees, take the step!

    I come and go from Asia and have a local cable subscription over here. May have to succumb next year. and pay for a watchafl account as well. Would be good if they could up the quality of the transmission of the AFL on the Australia Channel as well.

    The EPL etc is crystal clear but the AFL is far from that.

    Do you happen to know what the quality of the watchafl product is like on a 70 inch screen

    Yes i watched an EPL Game in HD whilst in Pattaya last week on a Big Screen and the quality was absolutely staggering. Shades on the grass, pure detail everywhere. 

    Australia has a long way to go with transmission. Both content and quality

    had surgery during the week, a wedding this morning and a reception this evening...first game i'm missing in melbourne since the north game when the middle kid chose that day to get a lymph node infection and spend the day in hospital

    i'mma be watching from the couch...and i HATE watching us on tv

    Glad that even tho AVB wasn't seen at training yesterday he is playing.  We need him bullocking his way around the forward line - help keep the likes of McVeigh honest.

    Also, rapt that Hunt is back.  Can't wait to see him do his 'road-runner' routine out of the backline.  Now that Bernie is out for the season the defence role is Hunt's to own.

    I feel a bit sick about this. One of the biggest games of recent years, coming into it.

    I’ve moved home from Asia a year or so ago and not sure of the product now. I mainly used it on my pc or iPad, so not too sure. The  quality was great on a smaller screen, so it should be okay on 70”.

    ... and at least 1/3 of what goes on out there is in the hands of Nicholls  :(

    Not confident at all. Can see us getting plenty of inside 50’s and being either inefficient with entries or kicking badly. 

    Swans by 16 is my gut feeling.

     

    Tracy missed two shots from about 15-20 out 45 angle...

    put both across the front and out of bounds. Will be super accurate today, I can feel it!

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
