can't see us getting close to gw$ regardless of how trash they've looked for the majority of this season

god i hate that franchise

Mmmm, it does have a vibe, as though those whom are in contract are checked out, and those who are playing for a contract (for the Dee's or elsewhere) may just raise the bar a bit in the energy stakes and play for themselves.

You wake up on game day and hope your side wins. Problem is I think we will get thrashed but then again have not watched alot of GWS. Prove me wrong melbourne.

If it is Jettas last game they should break their balls for him. Been a great clubman.

    so which melbourne football team will turn up today, the one that will play good football and get us all excited about the possibility of playing finals, or the one where we are a top 8 side playing a bottom side and who capitulates. Until about 2 weeks ago i had hoped we had turned the corner and were starting to play some good consistent football, with some awesome patches and  I looked forward to us playing a major part in the finals. But if these players cannot rise to the occasion with finals on the line against bottom dwellers then our chances not only this year but in future years is grim. 

    Jetta still has a year to run on his contract, he may not be an automatic inclusion into our best 22 every week but I imagine he’ll get the occasional game next season.

    Our last 2 games were losses because of intensity and effort. I can't see what has changed just because our President had a crack publicly, we are trying different players, and an Age journo has done a trifling fluff piece about power plays behind the scenes. 

    We will probably win well this week, then get thrashed next week. This is Melbourne way. I have spoken. (kudos to the Mandalorian!)

    Not a bad show Mb38

    hope so

    We were to play them round 2 off the back of the WC debacle.  They were in decent form and we were trash.  We have peaked and come back to baseline, and they have gotten worse.  Probably better to play them now on the off chance we bring something today.


    We’ve had plenty of passengers the last 2 games but I can’t see us winning tonight if Weideman has another poor game. He needs to lift otherwise I don’t see where the goals are going to come from.

    This team doesnt have it in them.

    Easily beaten the past 2 weeks by poor teams shows we have already checked out.

    That and Goodwin.

     

    Our season ended a couple of weeks ago.

    To the CEO and The Board

    Why???

    The game will be all over by quarter time!


    no idea who's worse, us who threw our season away against non finals sides when we had everything to play for or them who lost to the bottom side last week and dropped their captain who's on $7m....

    I've mentally checked out - unfortunately there is nothing else to do tonight so I'll put myself through this torture once more

    Nope. In true Melbourne style we win the next 2 and get pushed out by the doggies.

    Keeps looking like he will break out but still not certain if he will be a star.

    Most premier sides have a coleman eligible player. Maybe it will be him or maybe Jackson. The latter has shown better form earlier.

    Perhaps we should just lure one (although theres not many about).

    I have no idea why, but I think we will win tonight.

    Full disclosure: I said that the last 2 games.


    Has there been a club media ban this week ? No podcast from Gawny or Talking Points interview from Benny G. Haven't noticed any radio interviews either.

    On form i would not be laying money on either team!  This is the "flaky" cup playing for a flake bar as the prize.  

    On paper they should absolutely murder us....10 goals+

    There is a blueprint to beat GWS though and it has been laid out well by other teams.  Control the centre square, push them long and down the line, take away their run and gun style they love to play.   I actually think they seem scarred from their recent GF loss, which was maybe worse than our prelim vs WC few years back.

    If we come in a with a solid game plan we will beat this mob despite them having lot more talent.  If we come in with anything less we will miss out on the flake bar.  I love/hate this club haha!

    I would play Nev as a defensive forward. Think he might surprise.

    Giants have made too many changes to win this. I’m actually confident we’ll beat them by 20+ points.

    Still think we’re doubtful for finals though unless Clarko pulls a rabbit out of the hat to beat the dogs.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
