Well at least tonight we wont have the constant momentum killer in ANB butchering the absolute basics of the game.... I don't know what to expect tonight after "circling up"- One things for sure Sydney have been pretty bad at home the last two seasons... They haven't looked great this year either, hell if we were blessed with playing the blues in the first 3 rounds we too would have a win on the board... I'll say we will win, but with zero confidence at all. 

 

We might. He's an emergency and there's a doubt about T Mac playing. Could ANB be the one who comes in as a late change? One thing's for sure, if that happens, be ready for some apoplexy on Demonland. 

For what it's worth, given the other emergencies are Spargo, Hore and Petty, I would have thought ANB would be the logical replacement for T Mac because it replaces like-for-like in running capability. I can't see how any of the other emergencies make sense as a replacement for T Mac. Not sure ANB makes a lot of sense, either, but at least having a player with the a tank to run hard all game would be maintained.

    Honestly would rather play with 21.... 

     

    Really cant see TMac playing the way he was limping the next day after last week. Very short turnaround.

    Spargo could be better 

    Spargo for mine, key forwards Preuss and Weideman, at least Spargo will have a crack.

    I honestly think we have a chance tonight. Swans coming off a slightly lesser break plus their older guys likes of Buddy, Kennedy and Reid will struggle to come up. In addition their ins are a 1st gamer and Jack who is slower than Jones! I am hoping this is so.

    Speaking of Kennedy, we need to take a line from his Grand Father and JUST DO IT.

    I have three tickets to the game tonight spare after a family illness.

    They are located in Section 3 of the O'Reilly Stand, Row X, Seats 54, 55, 56. We will be sitting in Seats 52 and 53.

    This is a great location at the SCG to watch football.

    If anyone wants them at half price ($35) then please send me a direct message today and we can arrange to meet at Gate F tonight or I can send them to your mobile number.

    best wishes

    bill

    Nice gesture

    I hope they get well soon and Dees get up and get the job done for them (and me)

    Spargo is fairly good with the ball in congestion, a quick mind,  he can find targets inside F50, with his vision.

    I think a Demon side with Stretch, Spargo and Lockhart in it,  is getting closer to better balance.

    Judging by the post on the MFC facebook page Tmac will play....

    Great,as long as he isnt restricted like he clearly was last week.   Hes an option to play on Buddy too.  Maybe Frost starts on him and t Mac can move there if Buddy starts to dominate.

    The closer we get to game time the more confident I am of winning.  ?

    I'd love to see a statistic like: fumbles to an opposition player.

    Seems like he constantly fails to grasp the ball in contests, and when he does it he inevitably knocks it to an opposing player who bursts away from the stoppage.

    His absence will do wonders in my view.

    Doesn't surprise me.

    Most players get up the following week with non-serious ankle injuries


    Which one of Oscar or Frost will be given the task of gifting Buddy 8 of the most basic skill error goals tonight?

    Watch Buddy & Reid kick 10 between them and Kennedy get 35.

    Onfield, we have some lines that are very near being the best in the whole League. Have we lost this match against the Swans before we even step onto the ground?

    Yes.

    I will be amazed if the Swans don’t go rampant tonight on their home deck. 

    Essendrug are a shiit team and they kicked 8 unanswered last week, after we had taken the lead, thinking the job was done. 

    How many times have i witnessed that over many years

    The Circle ⭕️ of truth will not be enough when the coach persists with a gameplan that has been punctured and picked apart.

    And lay zero tackles again? The sooner Garlett returns the better.


    Expecting Sydney to win by about 20 points. Only 20 points as they have trouble scoring in general, just not as much trouble as us!

    Jetta a late withdrawl - no reason given. ?  He hasn't looked right all year so better to let him recover than risk whatever it is getting worse. 

    Hore to replace him.

    Grateful that it is Hore not ANB to replace Jetts

    Marvee ?

     

    I take it most of the posters on here,  who have made disparaging or derogatory remarks about the team and individual players,  wont we watching or attending the game? I mean what's the point

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
