Beteasy now has us at 2.20 Dogs 1.77 But that happened last week as well. How did we end up last week did the plunge on the pies come off. 

Serious punters don't usually bet until the teams come out so you'd have to say weight of money.

    one thing I'll let you in on about Bailey Smith is his appetite for working hard, and improvement - shown it since the age of 12. For context, his Dad owns a national chain of Golf stores... very very wealthy and lovely folk, with amazing work ethic.

    If i was smarter, I would have put a lazy pineapple on him winning a brownlow at the age of 14.

    Just turned the footy on...... and the first thing I saw was Billy Brownless' fat head.

    FMD. Dumb as a bag of rocks.

    He's now known as Uncle Fester in my household when those ads come on.

    Was confident against the last three,    Confident we will win again,   maybe by less than 50 points though,

     

    Go Dees

    I'm finally feeling it.  I'm suddenly really wound up for what I expect will be a ripper game as a spectacle and a hugely important one for both teams.

    Strangely, I have an uncanny feeling like Melbourne are just supposed to win today.  I've got no doubt.  It is weird, weird, weird.

     

    Well stupidly thought this game was at 3 despite being on Demonland for the last hour. Locked in now though!

    why is hannan warming up? who is injured?

    Brad Johnson (I think it was) was saying a few teams have been caught out this year with a late change and the emergency not being properly warmed up, so he thought it was likely just the Dees being prepared.

    Love the 2020 indigenous guernsey. Guess we don't need the red back guernsey against the Bulldogs. 

    I don't think we've ever had a bad one.  They always look fantastic.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
