    Was lying in bed cursing this faruking lockdown and trying to remember A: what day it is and B: what appointment I had after 4pm today. After checking my reminders and a bit of light surfing, I realized we are playing at 4 something or other today. What a strange time to play footy midweek

    Alas there will be no smoking meat for Josh today, I'll be farming the pig instead of eating it, but go the Dee's none the less.

    Do have a nice big brisket lined up for father's day morning though.

    Lock it in Eddie.

    Game day !!! Had forgotten until I saw the thread! 
    How many times can Dees supporters think off where we’ve won the difficult game ( aints ),  only to give back any advantage , by losing the supposed easier game?

    We won’t want to let our guard down this arvo !!!

    The Swans can’t score and our defence is peaking, there’s no way we can lose this game. Sydney by 27.

    I see there's a bit of MFCSS virus still lurking about Uncle.  Nothing a good Shiraz won't flush out!

    I'd recommend giving it a fair shake well before the bounce.  Finished the remainder of my Wolf Blass grey off on the weekend PRIOR to the match and it worked a treat... anxiety quashed!

    I'm having flashbacks of our loss to them in 2018, but I feel as though we've matured since then.  Plus our back line and overall team defence are in a better spot as well.

    Dees by 5 goals.

    4:40pm on a Thursday, I could get used to this.

    They are missing a significant amount of good players from that team.

    I am a little concerned about Papley. Im not sure who gets the gig but I hope they shut him down.

    One day Weid is going to breakout and kick a big bag of yummy goodies. Hope it is today.

    Funny time slot. We better win because its not a good look being 3 sheets to the wind b4  5.

     

    6 goal margin in our favor which is the same number that Weid kicks as well as the number of comfort franks I eat b4 halftime and the square root of Oliver's possies.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Things to watch for:

    Are we running hard enough to defend and reset the zone behind the ball?  This is a key indicator if we are on our game or not.

    Are we winning the contest / clearance?  For a team that prides itself on this, we have sucked at this for many weeks now.

    Do we have reasonable disposal to advantage, or do we play hot potato?  One works, the other makes me want to spew.

    Do we have enough presence forward of the ball to offer a suitable target (s)?

    Honestly, if we lose this one, we only have ourselves to blame.  Think it will be 42 points Dees win.

    What will the conditions be like? 

    26° at game start and maybe 23° at games end. Humidity is forecast to be 68% which is typical winter conditions up here. 
    Breeze blowing to the northern end. It will be a good coin toss for Max to win

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
