Just win the damn game.   Anyway you can, just do it for the love of god, please.

 

There's been loads of advice all week about what the Dees should, and should not do to win these games, but I reckon Whispering Jack hit the nail on the head in his post above, where he said it's got a great deal to do with "self-belief and ability to win against the odds".  We unquestionably have the team, the talent and the game to win if we bring that mind-set today.  The stakes are high.  Now is the time to prove it!  I think we will.

 

I’m trying to be optimistic here. I am hoping we find that fight that I know is there somewhere and the leaders on the field do their job for a change.

Dees by 14 points.

Go Dees


I honestly don’t know which way this one will go. It would be typical Melbourne to roll over and leave it all down to the final round, but I can’t shake the feeling we just might get the job done today.

Hope can drive a man insane? Indeed it can, Morgan.

Imagine if we didn’t hardly lay a tackle in the first 15mins.....

The suspense is killing me...

Been timing my entire weekend around 3.20 this afternoon

 

I know it’s only football but god I’m nervous! I just don’t even know what to expect from our boys anymore. 

Abyone heading to sporting glove and is the top bit under cover? I can’t remember. 

Just cant see it happening. The only thing we have to go by is our formline...

We havent beaten a single (current) top 8 side all year. The media have been giving us a hiding about that fact for 2 weeks, but MFC are not the kind of team to get angry and play that way. We are too busy "Making connections", and "showing care" ffs i hate that wanky corporate garbage.........

If ever a club needed its Line-In-The-Sand game, its MFC, today. Sadly, while other teams draws lines, we make sandcastles.

Eagles by plenty.

We will still play finals*


I just can’t see us winning this. I hope I’m  wrong but I’m going in with minimal expectations to avoid disappointment.  

glad its not at the g today this weather is disgusting

Would love a repeat of last yearbut not that close. Have to start well and not miss our shots.

Maxy hopefully dominates the ruck and gives our midfield first use

 

How desperate will WCE be? If they win they lock in #2 on ladder. If they lose they are very unlikely to not be #2 anyway.   I expect they will be keen to lock it in and rest players against Brisbane.

They have their 3 best players out, we should win.

Definitely 3 of their top 5.   I'd have Yeo and McGovern up there in their top 5.

But we have Viney, Lever and Hogan out so its basically even.

I thaught our win against Adelaide was extremley good. Lets see if we can repeat the dose over in Perth. Midfield must win. I am nervous.

Last year it was Viney & TMac who dragged us over the line!

TMac is playing, who wants to step up and do what Viney did last year. It’s an opportunity for one of our young guns to make a mark!

We only want the following:

- Win, any margin is enough!

- Kick straight!

- Everyone run both ways!

- Defenders remember where your meant to play (in the backline!)!

- Someone guard the goalsquare 

- Lower eyes going into forward line!

- Kick straight, Kick straight, kick straight!!!!!   

- Go Demons...........

Coll, GWS etc are ruined by injuries yet they keep winning mostly, I hate injuries for an excuse when other clubs find a way.

By the way, whats your joke of the day Trac, I need a laugh.

West Coast by 24 points, Dees gallant in defeat with Goodwin talking along about the narrative in the press conference. While the football world hopes we just miss out again after a loss next week. 


If we are in the game at half time I’ll be surprised, I expect to be 6 goals down at the half and roll belly up for the second half.

No jokes today, MS.    Its serious business.

Just think,  in  7 hours from now we could be booked into the finals.. and with a game spare.  Just 7 hours away from hopefully something special happening.  The monkey off our back, finally.

And we will have beaten the 2nd placed team on their home turf.   No more of this "Who have they beaten" crap.

Lets do this.    ?

The butchers knife heedeth not the lambs cry.

 

Shitty day to wear a scarf over here.

25 degrees.

Just hope that between Kent, Melk and Brayshaw that our inside 50’s entries improve markedly today, and that without Hogan clogging up the fwd line, Tmac and Weed get a good run at it for a bag of 4 each!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
