Max and Pruess 

  • Grundy is gonna get thrown to the wolves if he has to face Gawn after another 4 day break. He's been playing sore for 5-6 weeks now.
  • I’m tipping Gawn will not be 100% fit according Media reports.
  • Gawn is even more banged up than Grundy.
  • It's clear that Grundy is fatigued, and that Gawn is not 100%.
  • Gawn won’t get up it looks like. That’ll hurt Melbourne a lot.
  • Bare in mind, Preuss only hasn’t played games because he’s been behind Goldstein and Gawn! He’s no pushover!
  • Pruess will be out to hurt Grundy.
  • So if Gawn doesn’t play, it certainly levels the game up very quickly.
  • Gawn hasn't been named. Scared of getting the usual bath from Grundy, I suppose.
  • Pruess be a Poor Man Mumford by trying to Rough up Grundy.
  • Pruess isn’t a real ruck, I actually rate him, but he’s a Mumford crash and bash type who’ll try to hurt his opponent.
  • Grundy the only ruck option we have to match Pruess’s physicality.

Everything else

  • Melbourne will definitely believe their own hype going into this game. We must jump them early.
  • There's plenty of talk that they're one of the fittest teams in the competition. If that's true they could definitely cause us problems late in the game.
  • Melbourne aren't a fast side - especially their on-ballers.
  • Thomas and Mihocek have always caused Melbourne big headaches. Could Dunn play forward?
  • Melbourne is a genuine opponent. We need our best players on the park against them.
  • It's Melbourne. Smash into the contest, choke their ball movement and they'll capitulate.
  • The way to beat Melbourne is to pressure the ball carrier. Their kicking is usually quite suspect. Hopefully Maynard blankets Petrecca.
  • Norf showed the blueprint to beat us last year. Play the man hard and we go to pieces.
  • Melbourne don't have a great record at the Gabba. Their last 6 games there have been loses. In contrast, we have won most of our recent games there.
  • Who plays on Petracca? Greenwood would be handy right now to play a lockdown role on him.
  • I just hope we belt this pathetic mob on Saturday evening.
  • Hope we lose to show what a disaster our match committee is.
  • Let’s omit our second highest goal scorer and keep two forwards who don’t score in the team.
  • The only thing Ben Reid brings to ground is himself in a marking contest. Worst forward in the competition.

    Can't disagree with any of this. Let's hope we prove them wrong.

    I stopped reading when some bloke said our last 6 games at the GABBA have been losses 

    We won twice at the Gabba in 2018 by a combined total of about 100 points.

    Wrong. They have a historical connection - that’s their birthplace and their original home. The MCG is ours and we should never let them forget it (even when we play them on foreign soil).

    In the game preview.

    "It’s a big week for Darcy Cameron this week. The tall forward finally arrived on to the scene with a strong performance. Now all eyes are on him to back it up with another strong performance. It’s all set up for him to put up a strong performance, with the Demons backline undermanned and struggling."

    Last time I checked our backline was doing ok?

    Would it be possible to fit another "strong performance" into a paragraph of that size?

    Ha I didn't even notice.  Sounds ridiculous now you've pointed it out.  Think I was too busy shaking my head at the assertion our backine is struggling.

    Haven't conceded more than 40 points in the last two games.

    Who are these flogs writing these poor articles?

    Another thing that surprises me is opposition supporters don't seem to rate Oliver.  There's always talk of Gawn and Petracca, and to a lesser extent Brayshaw and Viney.  Any theories?

    They believe that Oliver isn't damaging, despite his elite stats.  That was fairly true until about 3 weeks ago. 

    They haven't seen the 'new' Clarry at work.  They are in for a big surprise!! 

    He will thrash their hobbling midfield.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
