Taking my 4 year old to his first game of the year. We have country memberships. Anyone know if we just scan at the gate or do we need to nominate the game somehow and get a ticket in another way? Just unsure how the five games are counted. 

Your country membership will scan you into the general admission areas.

    Gameday Prediction(s):

    - Hunt will kick four majors.

    - Jeremy Cameron will be reported.

    - Toby Greene will kick five majors. 

    - Hore will take seven intercept marks. 

    As long as Hunt kicks the first of the game I’ll be happy at the end of the day ?

     

    The suns have shown what’s possible with a no name list, they’ve pushed some good sides up until 3/4 time. I had us getting flogged last week, but not only did we come to play, we played with purpose. Giants have some skilful players but so do we. What’s annoying me the most is that this year the flag is there for the taking, and we waited until round 9 to have a serious crack.

    With both SA clubs losing this weekend this game has become that much more important... A win here and we are just a single game behind 7th and 8th spot. 

    Yes one game behind the records of 7th and 8th but given our %, we would effectively be two games off a top 8 spot. Lose today and we are still three games off.

    Our poor percentage is basically worth another game. Teams would be licking their lips to play us, because even if they lose against us they don't stand to lose much percentage given we barely score and don't win by much.

    I fully expect to know within the first 5 minutes if we are in this. We are well under the odds after last weeks great effort. If we were favorites Id say we won't win. But strangely enough because we arent, we are a very good chance.

    I have gone for Melbourne to be in front at the end of each quarter. ($4)

    cant see us getting beat today       we match up very well                   on every line and they have to beat us

    Love the optimism. 

    Let me temper that. 

    We will be obliterated today. 

    By the side that managed 38 points against the Hawks

    Just completed a very pleasant spa and steam at the RACV club ( of which I am surprisingly still a member, given Biffen’s past drunken efforts to get me banned)

    Anyway I am feeling almost positive and predict a close win- alternatively we will get flogged!

    Salem out hurts...

    BIG time!

    So that's no Lever, May, Salem, Jetta, Hibberd.

    Ridiculous.

    And Melksham, Hannan, AVB ... Probably one or 2 others as well.

    Christ, just saw. Spargo comes in? Don’t know what to make of that.

    Spargo has done absolute nothing at VFL and now he gets a recall. What the??. We are in trouble. Just hope he can actually do something today. Bit more than his normal 30 odd SC points.

    To put it kindly a bizarre selection in Spargo. Back in on the back of 2 weeks out on top of a poor VFL game.

    Goody still feeling under the weather or what!??

    Really not good news for Salem who has a history of concussions.

    I didn’t think he did?

    Thyroid yes but can’t recall him having too many concussions.

    & it's a real shame because it looks as though our system has finally got going (some what)... but there's always a tipping point when it comes to injuries & today's late out may prove to be just that.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
