    Not many game day threads when you can say the AFL would actually want us to win. 
     

    Given what’s on the line today given that Essendon have hardly won a game for months my MFCSS tells me Stringer, Daniher and Tippa will all have massive games we don’t turn up and lose easily.

    What’s Josh got in the smoker?

    What have the Dees players and coaches got left to deliver this season?

    What will it matter by the end of the round?

    Heading in again today... I am almost a bit relieved we don't have to play the chase % game today I think that would be way too stressful. 

    Hopefully it's a good outing and the Freo result falls our way tomorrow

    Chicken thigh brined in pickled jalapeano juice. Half smoked and finished on the BBQ skewered with red onion and capsicum. 

     

    Just finished 12 straight, 2 days off then back for 12 so going to relax with a cigar and watch the footy. Can't wait.

    We better not screw this up.

    Docker a big chance to knock off the Dogs.

    Saints winning was the best outcome for us IMO.

    It removed the issue of sweating the %  - did we kick enough goal?., avoids the 2017 heartache., etc

    Simple -  Dees win and dockers win, both by a point, and finals are reality.

    GWS have imploded and the Dockers winning was always going to be a better option for success.

    The Bombers are useless, the only way we’ll lose this is if Essendon win. 

    umm maybe

    I agree with Ethan - the bombers have been "useless" of late. However, long term and long suffering MFC supporters will recognise the inherent dangers ( and frequently subsequent sadness) when our club goes into such games.

    Having said that, I reckon we'll beat the Bumbers. In fact, we simply must win for reasons of self respect and salvaging something out of a season riddled with lost opportunity.

    Unfortunately, I cannot accept the dream that Freo will beat the Dogs.

    Let's enjoy our last game for the year and get well and truly [censored]!

    Sounds bloody sensational Josh - photo's out of the smoker please :)

    sounds awesome. 

    Is the jalapeno juice vinegar and if so do you just buy the pickled jalapeno in jars (i go through about a jar a month) and use its vinegar?

    We have a pretty good record in final round games.

    I think it’s 2-10 since 2007.

    Then wait for the big review!

    I don’t like where today’s heading if we have to rely on Baker and a couple of defenders to kick half our goals.

    Need the likes of Weid, Fritsch and Brown to pick up the slack a bit here.

    A friend of mine has a youtube channel called Schuey's BBQ if you're interested Josh. He was the brains behind a show called Dippers BBQ Wars that aired on channel 7 for one season. I've added a link below. Enjoy your 2 days off.

    There had better be Bbo after the chairman shot off his mouth about it a few weeks ago. Anything less is a cop out.

    I woke up with a sinking feeling today. I feel like we'll still win but it won't be pretty and the dogs will get the job done tomorrow. I've since had my first strong coffee of the day and don't feel quite so bad.

    Yes having forwards who kick goals would be a hell of a good start.

    That's the one. Any sort of juice will work though.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
