What a half of footy by Steven May...absolutely elite defender. He is giving Naughton a lesson

The first couple of wins from our run were against quite clearly the two worst teams in the AFL right now, and we comfortably beat a depleted Pies outfit who were also off a shorter break. I’m not say

Jeez strange times!!! Just reflecting. In a normal season, I'd be settling into a pot at The Duke about now. Thinking about maybe a quick snack and trying to coerce @Moonshadow into buying a roun

Win this and we are ready to launch. I want to believe. 

Looking at the AFL season stats this week interesting to see we are ranked 14th in clearances and 18th in tackles (averages). I thought these areas were our one wood? Maybe our game style has evolved for the better!

We will know early if our improved use of the ball by hand and foot stands up against a quality side. If we revert back to pinball style it will be all over. Hold your nerve boys.

Agree

I'm hopeful, but worried that a sharp Bulldogs midfield will have us revert to sloppy forward movement

Super excited for this one, heading in with the family and some friends I am converting to dees. 

Hopefully it's a cracking game which I am expecting it to be. 

Looking forward to watching the off the ball work rate of Langdon live today.

If you can get close enough, please direct some feedback to umpire 31 on my behalf.  He's listed as the Emergency

Nervous about this one - still expecting the old Melbourne, resting on their laurels, turning up tripe and getting pantsed.

 

Edited to add: It’s easy to get up for the ‘big’ games, but it’s taking care of the Doggies and the Saints which will ultimately make the difference.

This is a 'litmus test' game for the Dees, but we have been building, and I'm confident this will continue.  Our fitness will see us home by 3 or 4 goals, in what should be a 'cracker' of a game.

 Trac, Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney and Langdon will be too much for the Dogs to handle in the midfield.

Weideman to kick 5, Kozzie, Spargo, Melk 2 each.

Preuss to smash into weak skinny English all day and have him limping by the end of the 3rd quarter.

Melbourne by 44

Don't underestimate their midfield power. They've been inconsistent this year, but when on song it's right uo their with the best.

Lachie Hunter and Caleb Daniel are red alerts for me. Their run and dash will hurt us if we do not put in the time into them.

Danger game. So [censored] nervous..

Gold Coast area

Mostly sunny. Areas of dust haze during the morning and afternoon. Winds northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h turning westerly 25 to 30 km/h in the morning then increasing to 30 to 45 km/h in the middle of the day.

45km/h is a '2 club wind'.

Two pretty evenly matched teams on paper.  Two gun midfields going at it.  Looking forward to it.   Hopefully we see the vs Richmond Dogs against the vs Collingwood Demons.

It's just going to come down to us finishing our work in the forward line. Do that and we win. 

Totally agree. Would be good to see Fritsch straighten up this week.

Going to be tough kicking conditions

I dont know what to feel about todays game. I have tipped us the last 3 weeks, but dont feel so confident today.

A few others have mentioned the Doggies leg speed and i think thats likely to be a fair factor in who wins. Dogs and Saints were my 2 biggest worries as far as being cut up speed wise, so today tells me more about us than last week i reckon.

If we can win, finals are a lock IMO, but i think the Dogs might get over us by a few goals.

Still, GO DEES !!!

The 'conversion' should be complete by the end of the day GCS.

we beat collingwood when our ruck and midfield were not exactly on fire. Pruess should be the better ruckman today given the doggies stats, and our midfield is unlikely to be having two bad weeks.  I assume the dogs midfield strategy acknowledges they will lose the ruck so have their players ready to pounce on the opposition players when they take the ball to shake it lose.  If we can continue our good form and Tom Mac can add some additional firepower up front then we will win this one.  I just hope they learnt their lesson from last week it is not the number of inside 50's that count its the quality of the delivery and finishing off.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
