I'm not sure how this helps the players during the game.

Before the game and half time ?

and may be a feed to interchange bench

    I wish the MCC could set up a live feed, to Perth and fans could go to the G to watch the game?

    Great idea. Trouble is the cost to the MCC,  of having the ground open and secured and staffed. Then again if everyone paid $10 they could get thousands there.

    This is where we are disadvantaged by not having a home base.  Other teams can set up screens at Punt Rd, Vic Park, Western Oval etc etc etc.

    It seems the club is looking for a suitable spot to set up the live feed and show vision to the team. 

     

    Edit:  SEN just interviewed Mahoney and he said venues to watch the game:

    • Fed Square
    • Sporting Globe at Richmond
    • Sporting Globe Ferntree Tree Gully
    • Casey venue (didn't hear where)

    I guess vision to players will be from one or more of those venues.

    I hope it gets across the line! Nothing would please me more than beating Meth Coast.

    I wonder if Jeffrey! Jeffrey! Jeffrey! Farmer can get a movement going, the official 'Freo supporters who are ok about Melbourne and hate the Eagles' seating area.

    Just imagine the ruckus! :D

    Yes Jeffy yes, that exactly what we need. Any little advantage we can get to take their focus off the game should be explored.

    Remember that tablet set up in front of the bench i mentioned on the podcast. Maybe instead of key statistics and messages and tactical information it could show a feed of the sporting globe?

    (by the by i said on the podast that i assumed most clubs would have something similar. Perhaps they do but i have looked for it at our games, on the replays and other televised matches and have not seen any other examples).

    That still boggles my mind! Must be some decent binos!

    Nephew used my codes, and got tickets for 4 people, up behind the Dees cheer sqaud.

    Lucky he is with a couple of  mates who can go a bit, as his mouth is Shrek sized when the Dees are playing.

     

    Hopefully we can get enough voices there to be heard.

    I think the ferals over there will lift our players and they will soar higher than the Eagles. Maybe it will be burnt wings!

    So apparently Neil Mitchell has spoken with someone at channel 7 that is prepared to work with the club to ensure that the broadcaster focuses on a select group of Demons fans for Goodwin to refer to for motivation - considering how negative the environment can be. 

    They're called a cheer squad? And the dude sporting Woewodins hair style looks to be the prime motivator

    Our Cheer Squad are more than capable of matching West Coast for enthusiasm. I have seen them go wild quite a few times.

    This is hilarious.

    Someone suggested as a joke on a Facebook group that we all buy tickets and not attend. Mitchell has caught wind and run a story about it.

    I hope the West Coast fans are louder than they've ever been.

    Our guys will love it.  You can not intimidate this Melbourne team, you bozos!

    Do the Freo Dockers have a forum? Might be an idea to engage the purple army to join the cause and use up some food those tickets to support the dees.

    It’s all over the evening news here as well. 

    Eagles supporters labelling it as “bad sportsmanship” the clowns.

    I just love the last two games, both times the crowds were amazing. 

    I think a lot of people would go to the G to watch it on the big screen, just a thought.

    What a great idea! Free snacks for all Freo supporters at the Optus Oval in Perth if they wear Red'nBlue on the day.

    Considering they're on the same network 6PR and 3AW having a feud has about as much legitimacy as a WWE match. They would have cooked this up the moment Melbourne - West Coast was confirmed.

    These Western Australian muppets should boo themselves for being sucked in by such obviously artificial outrage.

    And I've seen them be rather disappointing more that a few times too.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
