Almost forgotten the meaning of gameday .. I reckon if we actually display the speed and toughness evident in the selection, we will cr@p it in.

    We will lose if we score the first 8 goals of the game.

    It probably won't be far off. Hawkins to kick 5 straight, Fritta to kick 1.7.

    As is almost always the case it'll be about which Melbourne decides to turn up. 

    Yep and that’s why I start drinking bundy select vat now. 
     

    It’s much easier watching the dees play with a few beverages prior to and during the game. ?

    Cheers to everyone ?

    What a lovely day in the Ranges, took the little lads out for some bike park/playground fun. Getting pumped for the game, come on here to check game day..... ppppfffttt who am I kidding I think we’ll struggle. Not enough cohesion with the season/players selection to date.

    As long as we are there in spirit is important.

    Dees, by 32 points. New-look forward line very impressive. Vanders and Tracc give the Catty Puts the nervous Nellies. Danger off the field for medical reasons. Carna Dees.

    One thing that will really annoy today, if Hibberd keeps kicking his long bombs to no one that seem to hang in the air forever, allowing the defenders to zone off.  Has he lowered his eyes ever ?

    Not just Hibberd but we can't afford to bomb the ball at all...it plays into the Cats biggest strength...but spread their defence and they are in real trouble.

    I hope we deploy melk as a lock down forward again, I reckon one of their big strengths has been stewards intercepting or at a minimum interrupting forward movement. I'd get melk to take him deep and away from contests as much as possible, without Taylor I think this is an area we could exploit

    Following on from the above point. Stewart is key to their attack from defence, if it's not Melk then it has to be AVB. We cut Stewart out and we're a long way to winning this game.

    I dunno, maybe the year he got All Australian?

    Nice to see all the 'supporters' up nice and early, lovely day to be so [censored] miserable

    Just watch the game, then we can have multiple pages of post game angst, no matter the result

    I need to get me some of those rose coloured glasses McQueen. 

    It makes everything the demons do on and off field so much better ?.

    I am going to, get ready to watch the game at local pub

    Nice chicken parma, few schooners of summer able, hopefully watch an entertaining game 

    A Melb win, looking forward to seeing AVB and Hannan, black, sad Nev is not out there, form dropped a bit

    Nobody will die if we lose, it is only footy

    I've tipped us. 

    On paper they look very good, but I think if Gawn can get on top we should be able to control the game. 

    My biggest worry is who is going to kick goals? Would love Tmac to kick a few, he needs some confidence badly

    It’s a bizarre season and I reckon points on the board early is going to be more important than ever. 
     And ..... as one A Clarkson said , “ Geelong aren’t that good “ !!!!!!

    Trouble is, we aren’t that good either.

    I reckon we should keep bombing it into the 50, eventually the players will click.

      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?
