And yet we were only 2 goals down early in the last 

Not saying we will win by 10 goals tonight, but the wrist slashing and hyperbole on Land of late is both ridiculous and hilarious at the same time. Some posters need a big injection of positivity up their clacker. Life is too short to expect the worst every time.

 

Tigers by 90 points.

 

Luv it Mr. Shadow

$$$$$$ probably

Well that hasn't even been close to being an issue with the crowds we have attracted over the last few seasons.

No doubt tonight will be a little bit down on previous years, but it's not as if only 40,000 are turning up.  I'd say we will still get around 70,000.

I reckon I'll check the VLine App to see what time the next train leaves about 5 minutes into the 3rd.

    I never thought I'd have to go back to the bad days where I would go to the footy and it's a good day if we lose under 10 goals. But tonight I go to this game knowing we won't win. Last year we got beaten by 46 points in the same game.

    Anyway the good thing is get the game over tonight the weekend is free and by then everyone would have moved on. 

    But I am interested to see if Goody does anything different tonight. also would love to see some players get back into form who have been down.

    tigers by 86


    I spoke somewhere about being surprised at our selections .

    Smith in instead of Keilty  surprises me again.

    Not a place for a fist gamer tonight. Might ruin his career b4 he even starts. Love to see him get a decent go this year tho.

    Would need  a miracle to win tonight.    I give us  a 2% chance.

    Might be our best win ever if we can pull it off.  Cant believe the Tigers are paying 1.40 in the betting.   Easiest money anyone will ever make.

     

    My most fervent wish.....that we simply don't embarrass ourselves.....any further.

    Too much ??

    Probably not the right game for terms like "blood bath" mate

    Me too WJ, and a similar result in a sporting sense will unfold tonight.

    Old Dee, you were responding to WJ's Gallipoli remembrance. Any chance the "similar result" you are expecting was meant from the perspective of the Axis powers?

    it's quite relaxing going into a game with zero expectations. 

    It's one of the advantages of being a Dees supporter for over 50 years. I don't get anywhere near as stressed about football matches as every non-Melbourne supporter I know (other than St Kilda supporters who are equally sanguine).

    Have we ever lost a game on a Wednesday?

    I was expecting a similar result to the Anzacs brave but in the end beaten badly.

    Think the dees might surprise us all tonight... not saying that means our season will turn around (though I hope it does), but I am more confident about tonight than I was about St Kilda. This is the type of game the Melbourne of old would win. 


    I think that I might take a sick day from being a MFC fan for tonight. I am down with a bad case of Demon apathy and there is a significant possibility I will become worse watching the game.

    Richmond with no Cotchin or Rance and Harmes on Dusty.

    We have to be very hard at it for four quarters as the tigers do not stop .

    I think the players are hurting and will give it everything tonight.

    Can we connect with our forwards and can we defend well enough?

    Time will tell, but I’m hoping like hell.

    You just need some Vitamin AnB and to do your stretch exercises. Not sure what you should do with Marty Hore, though.

    I know right. Puts bank term deposit interest rates to shame.

    Should really be Richmond $1.10.

    Edited by Bring-Back-Powell

    Any chance Richmond might be a bit knackered from Saturday night and won' have the energy to go on a 16 goal second half avalanche?If that's the case we must stay close with them at half time if we're any chance of a respectable result.

    Yes I know we alos played on Saturday, but we only ran one way so should have plenty in the tank...

      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?
