Nowhere to hide, glad its on a Friday night...

I'll be hiding under my bed if we can't win this.

I reckon we'll either win or lose this one

There's no need to be controversial.

A draw wouldn't surprise me.

 

 

biggest bummer is that mcg is now predicting a crowd of 58k

that's at least ten, possibly twenty, short of what we'd ideally want to be achieving on what should be a fantastic night for football - 27 degrees during the day, cooling slightly in the evening

if both teams were 2-0 and had played well to start the year then there'd be a lot more theatre goers and fans who can't be bothered coming along to it

i can't wait, but i think it'll be peptides by 13 points in a scrapfest in front of a disappointing 54k or so crowd

hope i'm wrong tho! i'd take a 31 point win in front of 45k that's fer sure

First home game against Essendon since?

Last time at the MCG was that disastrous rnd 2 game in 2016 where we lost to their VFL side. But our last actual home game against them was 2010 rnd 15 (beat them by 19 points).

Had ALMOST forgot about that game, thanks for the reminder

Watt if itza draw ?

Lose this one and top 4 is gone.

With the 80 point loss to Geelong our percentage will be a problem so we will need 14 wins to make the 8. Possible but throw in those two home games we have sold to the NT and the equation becomes unlikely.

The upside is that we will have ample opportunity to trial the likes of Petty and Baker, get a decent draft pick and an easier draw next year.

Big game to say the least.

The big question is who will be forced to wear the clash strip?

then I'll be wrong and there'll be rioting by both side's supporters post game


I don't mind if they wear their home strip, once they have to wear white lab coats over them, courtesy of Dank Enterprises

Essendon playing like [censored]. What could go wrong?

Still cant believe all the work that goes into this website. Where do you find the time? Ive looked at some of the other sites, Bomberblitz for example. The are just so bad, boring and drab and you can hardly even read them. Well done @Demonland

 

If we lose this then say hello to 2020.

Apparently closing whole train lines for weeks at a time = intermittent construction works.

  • 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?
