I still have flashbacks to the mid 2000s when we were top of the ladder and somehow lost to bottom placed Carlton. It's a very Melbourne thing to do. If we lose this one then we may as well shut up shop.

We SHOULD win by 30+. Just get it done Dees!

Remember it well my Carlton supporting wife went into labor the next morning with our first son.

Sure enough the following season when both sides met again. Carlton rolled us and son #2 came along

2006, Travis.

Round 1 we lost to Carlton. We then lost to them again in Round 18 whilst sitting 3rd on the later. Two of their three wins for the year came against us. We missed out on the top 4 by half a game.

So very, very Melbourne.

Yep we’ve been producing nothing but [censored] for 60 years.  Even when we made a grand final we managed to get smashed 

I reckon last week’s effort was as dismal a performance as I ever seen

I’m still bloody depressed!

Sounds about right. From memory we lost a few after that and struggled to recover form. Bloody embarrassing to lose to the bottom placed team twice in one year, and that's back when we were a good team!

We should win by 30+ tonight. Heaven help my voicebox if we lose.


A piece of trivia:  This whole season only 1 or 2 teams that were behind at 3/4 time won the game. 

So watch the 3/4 score folks and if in front hope we hang on...if behind go to bed or have another drink!  It will delay the pain.

I remember it well. 2 of their 3 wins. Even when they are carp other teams think they can beat melbourne. We're too soft

Losing to Essendon in their suspension year was one of our worst.

Breaking the Crows duck would be up there. 

Hopefully the game is decided by half time. A 2019 GCS result would be hard to take.

 

We JUST have to win this. Surely the Mids can finally get it right and win plenty of the pill and actually deliver it tonight. They basically have M. Crouch and Smith as the only decent mids. If our guys stuff up in the midfield tonight LOOK OUT

GF smashings  x 2


I’ll be shocked if we lose this.

Ultra professional, well coached, trustworthy sides such as Melbourne would never lose a game to a 0-9 side.

Jimmy running over the mark in 87 saved us from  back to back Grand Final embarrassments.

See, its not all bad.

I've carefully evaluated the data from our recent games against the Crows and can confirm that the losing team's score will be divisible by 11. 

This is a peer-reviewable valid discovery. At probability of  1/11  x 1/11 x 1/11 the chances of it being just a fluke are about 0.07%, or one in 1,400. Clear scientific validity.

Finally I have mastered "P-value hacking." I can now get my accreditation as an epidemiologist.  

I have no idea what to expect. If we lose it wouldn't surprise me. I've been a melbourne fan long enough to know tonight is a danger game. 

But I expect us to win and if we do it probably still won't satisfy the media or fans.

Another piece of trivia, all these coaches started their careers 0-9:

Ratten
Hardwick
Neeld
Nicks

The first 3 all won their 10th game. Nicks has his tonight...

 

Reckon we'll definitely win tonight. But then, I was confident last week as well...

Their side looks pretty good on paper. However, no Sloane or Crouch will really hurt their midfield. It's ours to lose, I can't see it happening, I think they're on the tank also. Even if we win, I'm still going to be looking hard at the fundamentals and execution of our game plan and cohesion, lets see if Stubborn Simon gets the lads firing.


Jeez.  I’m starting to struggle. I’ve finished a Taylors and well into a Wynns.  Neither special but first bounce is still a while away

Nice work Ben

Pointing out Rubbish from last week, i like it. 

This has never been done before, I wonder if Pert has had a word to The Media Dept. to Ramp it up

We are watching...

I did some extra hours at work today so I could stay up late on a school night, watch the whole game and go into work a bit later tomorrow.

I hope I'm happy about that decision in a few hours time :)

 

 

 

First time I can recall feeling like this but my care factor for this game is damn close to zero.

I usually make sure I can watch the game live so I can ride every bump, mark, kick and tackle, but not today. I have a lovely day in europe and I am going to take advantage of it and go and have a round of golf.

They will need to show a hell of a lot more than they showed last week for me TGAF.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
