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. 

 

For the second week in a row the Australia channel in Asia has dudded me and no MFC on television today.

They are taking that other big match between Freo and Carlton !!!

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!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
