GAMEDAY - Round 21

F I hope our boys can get the job done today.  Would be an awesome feeling heading into the last two rounds with a finals spot all stiched up and just playing for form and the best possible ladder/first round finals position.  IF we win, I think it would leave Sydney, Port, Geelong and North as the teams fighting it out and most likely to miss. 

Certainly not counting any chickens at this point though as we were more or less in this position last year and lost a very winnable game to North that essentially torpedoed our finals push.  However this morning I am viewing the footy world with optimisim that the worm has turned that through trials and tribulations of the past few years and this season we have reached a point of maturity that we have the fundemental footy stocks, resolve and composure to win these big games.

Carn the Demons bring it home - finals 2018 and beyond!!

This is how big today is -

If we beat Swans and the Dogs upset the Kangas...  we are in the finals.  

UNLESS...   Geelong win their last two by approximately 180 points combined, and we lose our last two by approximately 50 points combined.

Oh damn I just triggered my MFCSS.

Dude, wtf?! 

Win and we play finals!

It is only because we are Melbourne they we aren't considering winning all three and bouncing into the finals with a shitload of momentum.

 

I believe next week is a more important game than today. This will even be more so if we get done today.

I hadn't done the maths on the percentage equation, but considering the respective opponents, those winning/loosing margins are pretty credible.  

I recon if we win today though, with the confidence and beleif that will build we will win at least one, if not both of our last two games.


I know this question gets asked a lot but I never pay attention to the answers. 

Where is a good pub in Melbourne to have a parmy and pint before the game? Somewhere where there might be some other Melbourne supporters?

Yes, its certainly possible.    I wish I hadnt done the math.  

Oh well, lets just win win win.

8 hours to go. Gotta find something to pass the time!!!

i am quietly confident today. 

Our biggest game since round 23 last year. Stand up demons!!

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!'

How big is your deck?


Gee what a big 3 weeks. I have no idea what will happen today. But I hope we win and it doesn't come down to the last few minutes. 

No injuries, hope frost contains buddy and hogan and tommy dominate up forward. 

Come on melbourne get the job done.

Had a dream midweek that we were down 44-1. I'm a tad nervous about how we start this game.

I like my dream better, yours is a nightmare

Edited by Demons11

The results so far this weekend really have given us a golden opportunity to ( almost) guarantee a finals spot with a win today.

The old Melbourne, the one we know only too well, would come out today flat as a tac, and not look like threatening for the entire game.....

But thats the Old MFC..... Isnt it?

 Today we can show we are the real deal. Its time... 

Go Dees.

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

Agreed.  I like the euphoria of close wins, but I'm not sure my cardiac system can handle too much more of the raised blood pressure that precedes them.

Gee whiz. You’ll need a big hand to rub that back.

Hopefully the headline in the paper tomorrow is 

DEE DAY

Maybe tomorrow’s headline could be another thread ?

Don’t agree, I reckon it’s based on our form over the past 19 games. We choke when playing a decent team

Yeah.

I guess there is hope that we win a clutch game and confidence and momentum grows from there.

Historically that's how it happens.

It's been an incremental build.  That's the next stage.

    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.
