Got the feeling we are going to hand out an absolute hiding to the Hawks.    Anyone else feel it?

Not sure about a hiding, but I think the boys will get it done by around 20 points.

    This time last week, I was shifting bricks but strangely feel almost relaxed about this one (until they bounce the ball, that is).

    Do we know who the umpires are yet?

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news but we have unfortunately been assigned the bald headed maggot.

    Let's hope that his blatant bias against Melbourne can be put aside in a Semi-Final..

    Stevic and Rosebury are the other two.

    Don't know more, but reported by McClure on SEN.

    Every single news article is about us.  Hawks flying under the radar.  They didn't finish top 4 without reason.  I'm nervous about this build up.  The gloating Hawks supporters will be unbearable if we lose this.

    Yeah I am worried too.   Most times teams who finish top 4  win at least one final.   As much as I hate Hawthorn they are a proud club. Battle of our lives tomorrow night.   Cannot believe the odds. 50/50 I would have thought

    Stratton OMearra and Ceglar out.

    Shoey Duryea Mirra in....

    I actually think Stratton is a bigger loss for them. He controls their backline.

    But no Jaeger is a big plus for us.

    The boys need to know that wounded animals fight back hard and remember the weak Pies side that kept us out of the finals last year. They still need to bring their best game to win this.

    This is a game we should win even if O'Meara was playing.

    For me it's telling that none of their 3 "ins" would get a game in our 22.

    Means Harmes either shuts down Mitchell, but if Mitchell gets a hold of him, which is totally possible, we can swing him straight to Smith.

    Stratton and O'Meara out helps us a lot. Stratton is their backline general and a decent defender, his absence will help us a lot.

    I'm glad to see no change. Back in the players and structure that are winning!

  • Quote

    No change, BOOM! Let's get it done, boys.

    I already thought we'll come away with a win here, but the extra out for the Hawks helps to solidify that belief. We'll take this by 4 goals and storm into the prelim, where we'll give it to the Eagles, again.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
