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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
