With less then 30 hours to go before bounce down for a season with high expectations from both the supporters and the club. All the talk is about the MFC making the top 4 in 2007.

I'm excited about the season ahead and focusing on our first game against St Kilda I would like to see a few things happen.

1) Before the bounce Brad Miller and David Neitz walk over to the little snipper Baker and let him know that if he touches Davey unfairly that they will be on him, these big to forwards have to protect Davey from snipers.

2) Jamar to start in the ruck and White up forward, Clarke always beats White in ruck work, let Jamar have first crack and if dry White up forward to stretch the Saints backline

3) Robbo to get out on the flank and leave the square for Neita with planned rotations for short periods with Neita out on the flank and Robbo at out of the square, take Maxxy somewhere he is not comfortable.

4) Our Midfield unit to join the elite midfield ranks Mclean, Johnstone, Bruce, Green, McDonald, Jones, Bate, Moloney and C Johnson with Davey pitch hitting to a MFC supporter that looks imposing but the rest of the competition doesn't rate them as high as they should.

5) Yze and Miller to silence their critics.

6) Win the game and put them away, something in 2006 we didn't do we always gave teams a sniff, this year I want to smash teams we should, and take advantage of teams when they are underdone like a lot of St kilda players will be.

Bearing the above in mind this is how I see our line up

B: Whelan Carroll Holland

HB: Bell Biz Ward

C: Johnstone Mclean Green

HF: Bruce Miller Robbo

FF: Davey Neitz White

R: Jamar McDonald Jones

Int Yze Bate CJ Moloney

I assuming Rivers and Pickett don't play, if Rivers plays he comes in for Holland, I don't think Pickett will Play.

Lets get 75,000 out for the season opener stuff the weather lets show the AFL that we deserve to open the season and we belong on the big stage.

    75 would be nice but the weather will effect the numbers. Im going with a saints mate no matter rain, hail or snow but there is no chance that croud will come. I predict 50,000.

    Davey is too aware to cop a hit like that. Regardless 33 already acts as official bodyguard.

    Baker just needs to think about his kicking in case he needs to kick after the silence...i mean siren.

    Davey just needs to go out there and play his natural game, let Baker do what he likes and not lose his cool.

    Davey is by far the better footballer and at the end of the day that's all that counts.

    i disagree with that assessment of baker, he's a very fine tagger and a B&F winner to boot. Davey is very good too, no doubt about his class, give him a few years and i'm sure he'll have quite a few accolades.

    A 10 goal win will do me fine (and no injuries)... the rest is details.

    I'm with Jaded (just not quite as ambitious), so put me in the very simple 'score more points' category :rolleyes: !!!

    5) Yze and Miller to silence their critics.

    But I would genuinely love to see this as well.......

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
