  • Thank god that Max Gawn isn’t playing otherwise it would be a blood bath but Preuss is still not a bad ruckman who is very strong.
  • Gawn is significant but our ins are better.
  • Tom Mcdonald hasnt done anything for two years. I'm sure Gardner will be nice and help him recapture that 2018 form where he kicked 7 goals in those two games against us.
  • Pruess will eat English up and we will struggle again out of the centre in my view.
  • If Petracca is drilling it out of the centre to McDonald it could be a long painful game where we get behind quickly.
  • I don’t rate melbourne at all. We should win.
  • Keath to the in form Weideman please. Not Gardner.
  • I am worried about Gardner being in the team he will not get it as easy as last week when our midfield dominated. Tom Macdonald will be sleeping easy tonight.
  • May has tightened up this year, Lever you can get a hold on, Bruce just needs to be accountable and naughts will destroy whos left.
  • Keen to see Preuss against English. Surely will dominate the taps with strength but Timmy will win in impact around the ground.
  • Melbourne's high performance manager Darren Burgess remains confident the 206cm ex-Kangaroo will be available to take on the Bulldogs, but he will be monitored ahead of Saturday's game.
  • Looking forward to Bruce dominating this week if picked, as it sounds like all that was missing for him to tear games apart was Naughton beside him.
  • May isn't slow, but Naughton has him covered for agility. Really small turning circle for a tall.
  • The ultimate battle between the league's best ''flat track bullies''.
  • I dont think Melbourne are good but I don't trust us at all.
  • Melbourne are weak as [censored]. Richmond absolutely toyed with them.
  • I like the idea of Lever on Naughton. Lever has been really poor pretty much his entire tenure at the Dees.
  • Naughton I think has both May and Lever covered. May is more suited to Bruce but Lever on Naughton is a nightmare for Melbourne.
  • Melbourne are a good developing side - they are awesome when you don't match their intensity in the middle - but the don't always appear to have much else if they aren't dominating centre square.
  • If they get it in quick to McDonald, Weideman and Fritsch, then they could have a field day. Remember McDonald kicked 4 or 5 against us one game and Fritsch took 14 marks.
  • If we bomb it, I’m confident May and Lever will counteract Naughton.
  • Surely having our best two players - both better than anyone on Melbourne's list - in cracking form will be enough to tip the balance in our favour?
  • Their midfield matches ours ok (now that Brayshaw is getting back to form) with ours batting one "good" mid deeper.
  • I don't rate Melbourne at all. Our midfield is superior to their's and we will have a field day. Sure Oliver and Petraca have done well but against who? The Bont and Macrae racked up 70 disposals against Brisbane who have a very good midfield, and as you say who is going to stop Naughton?

We are weak as [censored] because Richmond toyed with us two months ago??? Wouldn’t say they toyed with us that day but anyhoo. What did the Tigers do to them recently? 

 

They rate themselves, don’t they?

since we run a zone defense with May closer to goal and Lever next out, I dint think it is as simple as who takes who.  Bruce is a big sook.  If we keep him quiet early he will stay that way.  They bat one deeper in the midfield?  As I understand it, you only have a fixed number there at centre bounces...

anyhoo, let’s see how it pans out.  Anyone remember when we shellacked them at the Western oval to make the finals?

Yes, I do and I was there. It was a great day.


If both sets of fans were honest they'd say they have no idea which version of their respective teams will turn up today. Slightly worrying perhaps is that it's now their turn to have a season defining game.

We lost that Toigs game in the 2nd quarter. They outscored us by 24 points (0.1 to 4.1) and the final margin was 27 points.

Contrast that with the Dogs losses: 52 to the Pies, 39 to the Saints, 52 to the Blues, 41 to the Toigs and 24 to the Loins.

They're still to play the Cats and Eagles.

 

Had no idea that Whitten Oval was on Barkly street.

That's almost as good as the bloke who recently got done for 500kg of cocaine in PNG - David Cutmore.  

I’ll be more than happy to log into their forum once we win and give them a roasting!


for a team that's been similarly irrelevant for 50+ years as us, winning 1 flag out of absolutely nowhere sure does fill them with confidence.

Should be a good game anyway.

Convince  yourselves   in your dreams doggies !   We have you by the tail.

Pretty sure the team that's won 2 out of the last 3 flags and probably should have won the other one as well have toyed with a few sides in recent years including the bulldogs.

they haven't fired any sort of shot since 2016 and until they stop living on past glories they'll continue to be irrelevant.

Battle of the half back lines this game. A lot of speed and pressure. Maybe close to DH...

About 7 years ago I tried to convince the then fiancé (now wife) that we should be buying in Footscray, it’s in the up and up and we can get a bargain/make a mint in resale... she was sceptical.
I organised a few viewings for a Sat morning to convince her... got there nice and early and wanted to show her around the area and see how eclectic and diverse it was, wandered up and down Barkly st and surrounds for around an hour.. by the time we made it back to the car to head off to the first viewing she was in tears! “Don’t make me live here, I’m too pretty for this place!” 
 

I may have suggested she is ok but don’t get ahead of yourself... was a funny morning and we’ve never been back.


May will smash Naughton talk about a flat track bully.

There is a pub in Footscray charging $100 for a steak. I kid you not.

That's what I would have thought. But have you checked the property prices in Footscray lately?

That pub has been selling high priced meals for around 17 years, killing it.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
