There’s a great doco on TV tonight about the mating ritual of the dung beetle. Two shaftings on at the same time. Decisions, decisions........

    I'm predicting a 40 point win.

    Has Richmond caught the St kilda bug?

    Anyone want to go for a spin in my new Jag after quarter time?

    • Haha 6

    Reasons to go:

    1. Drink Beer at ridiculous prices.

    2. Have a 1/50,000 chance of winning a car, which will be 1/100,000 as I am not a young female or person that will look good in the promo material, so I actually have no chance.

    3. Catch up with mates

    4. Cheer an odd moment of Melbourne play here and there

    5. Get an Oliver cup.  Never got any of the others, I’m really stretching here...

    6.  Practice my Dali Lama calmness tolerating nuffti Richmond bogan d-heads.  Especially on the public transport home.

    Not even bothered. I’ve got the kids this weekend so I think we will watch a movie......so much less stressful.

    I will probably go just to look at the numbskull Richmond supporters. We wont win.


    I'm going to Gold Class tonight to watch Lion King with my lovely half.

    More excited to see Simba turn badass again.

    At Auskick with my oldest kid, skills here much better than Melbournes atm

    Maybe they need to enrol a few of the boys at Auskick to work on their skills?

    Would like to say I am going to enjoy the Ashes but with our luck in the umpire review stakes it is just giving me another dose of MFCSS.

    I’ll tune in tonight. 

    Until quarter time should be long enough.

    I had a dream we won tonight. Does this mean I am a passionate rusted on supporter or just plain out of touch with reality?

    Both obviously

    God help us. We are going to need it. 

     

    It is so totally understandable that the devastatingly poor on field efforts of MFC in 2019 have devastated the spirit of all MFC fans. 

    I will go tonight but l really don't know why, as l expect to get bloody annoyed at silly turnovers and even more annoyed at hearing the opposition song at the end of the game. 

    Clearly l am just another one of those that has supported this club for so long,  Disappointment has been my mood and my middle name.

    Toiges by 41, slowing down in Q4, as they have finals to play.

    I'll be watching from the comfort of my recliner in the back blocks of Canberra, and searching for evidence of 'tinkering' to our game plan, that Goody mentioned in yesterday's presser.

    'tinkering'

    I'm going tonight and I have no idea why. I fear what Lynch and Riewoldt will do to us, whichever Oscar is playing on.

    However I'm looking forward to seeing Melksham back.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
