  • 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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
