Grabbed myself some Coopers Stout.  Boys are gonna have to play like my beer to bring this home.  

Playing chocolaty and bitter always wins games.

I’m always appreciative we get to watch the game two hours before you Melbourne folk. 
I promise I won’t spoil anything by posting the result early.

I’m torn about tonight. 
 

T bone

Rib Eye

Sirloin

Tomohawk?

Bread and dripping the way we are playing 

 

From perusing most of these posts Id say all opinion points to a loss. I guess we have well insulated ourselves from disappointment.

Here's hoping against hope in these gloomy times we are all wrong and the boys surprise us and get the job done.

Yes Ive taken a bit of insurance against us (its just business) but I'd still be happy to lose that hard earn and get a win. Go you good Dees.

 

My fathers day present last year that plays our theme song.

The test of our mental toughness, intensity and leaders will be put on display for tonight’s game & the following 4 games.. opportunity to grab a finals spot. For too long both in recent times and in seasons gone by we have stumbled with such opportunities. Forgive the members/supporters if we don’t entirely trust them

That's a tough gift to receive.  Imagine wanting to crack open a few beers to drown your sorrows after a loss, and hearing our theme song while you do it?  I'd vomit on the spot.

Called aversion therapy. So many mixed emotions. So much beer.

Just cant get over how big and slow our team looks on paper.  Goodwin will need to pull out all the stops to slow the Saints down and not let them use their speed.


On the Cooper's Vintage. We got dis.

Not sure if it’s lock down kicking in, only just getting power back on after Thursday’s storms or the Shiraz talking but I think we win and I am not even nervous.

Have gone Eastern European with Cepavi and a Czech Pilsner. Will enjoy before the game curdles the stomach.

AFL have only opened two gates for game, 30m line, no social distancing 

Better than the one gate they had open last year.   Better than the one ticket booth gate they had last year.

They just showed some forward pressure stats on Fox Footy.

Butler and Lonie for the Saints are #1 and #2.  We need to pay plenty of attention to that.

For the record, Pickett is rated #4 for forward pressure in the comp.

I want discipline in the club and I know Fritta missed too many shots at goal last week but he took 10 marks. Thats a lot. Hope his dismissal was the right call.

Invalid stout is probably appropriate

No mention of Spargo on Fox. Only showed top 5 in AFL. Good to see Kozzie right up there.

  • 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.
