This! Can’t believe everyone is so down on their selection. I thought Corey was pretty good round 1 and was unlucky to be dropped. His disposal looks clean which is something we lack and he was hard at it. Josh looks inboard a lot...we can do with more of that too

Y'know, Swimmer, I also thought that the Wagners were go-ers,  as well. It will be good to see them tonight, launching at the ball...

 

I guess the only mild consolation is their ins are no better than ours

Ouch!

 

Corey Wagner very stiff to be dropped after round 1. Was one of the few who was having a crack and at least applying some tackling pressure up forward. Looking forward to seeing him have another go tonight. 

With the time delay it’s on at 4.50 here which is too early to settle down and watch the game so I’ll have it on record. At least I’ll be able to fast forward the bad parts. If we lose this game I’ll be prepping the microwave and putting on my Spider-Man costume.

Don't be ashamed, whatever it takes to remain sane as an MFC supporter.

The sad part is I made decent money out of the loss to Port by backing both sides, we kicked the 1st 2 goals which triggered a promo payout and then my other bet on Port also won....saddest $200+ ever

Got through the second half of last weeks game in 19 seconds. 

Well I'll be buggered ......... a H&A fixture on Friday night.  How novel is that?  Let's make it a memorable one Dees.  Start our season  rolling, and mount an undeniable case with the AFL for six Friday nighters in 2020.

Gloomy place demonland these days.

About tonight.  I can imagine what both coaches did all week.

Essendon - Looked at the tape against Geelong and know we bomb it to 20m  9/10 times.  They’ll have their defensive tactics sorted and have 3 defenders dropping back, and the others spreading to get outside leaving plenty of Melbourne players free (as we never take the best options)

Melbourne - Looked at the tape against Geelong and know we bombed long 9/10 times despite plenty of free players in our forward 50.  Directed to always take the free option.

If we win contested possession and clearance (expected) and do what Goody is asking and take free options heading inside 50 we’ll win easily.

If Essendon lose contested possession (expected) they need to pressure our mids so we bomb.  They are a good chance if that happens.

Hopefully tonight is the start of a turnaround.

I reckon Essendon will be more focused on fixing their own game plan than to watch the opposition. That's what I'm hoping for anyway. It'll make for a very average weekend if we lose tonight. 

If we lose tonight I’ll [censored] spew.

We’ve lost our past 5 matches now (Prelim, JLT 1+2, Round 1+2). That’s a bad form slump. We need to turn that around tonight or our season will quickly slip away as we lose touch with the top 4/8. 

I feel sick heading to the ground at the moment. I have no confidence we can get the job done and am confused how such a talented list can perform so poorly.

FIRE UP DEMONS FFS!!!

Beginning to feel ill with anticipation 

Me too how does the club hold so much over me. i do not know the players or staff (although I feel i do)  I let the club have the control over my state of mind..   yet I have no control over the result.  Thats footy I suppose........    and I bloody love it  

Just heading in from Scumbury. Have an odd feeling of confused confidence. 

Maybe it’s the vibe from the happy looking group of dees supporters nearby

More likely it’s because I’m horribly sober for this hour of the day

  • 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?

    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?
