Is it wrong to assume that;

•May and Lever can control the defence

• Salem and Hunt can take advantage of the new man on the mark rule when rebounding

•We don’t get shown up for pace

• We don’t turn it over constantly 

•  Petracca and Oliver dominate the clearances to advantage, and push forward to hit the scoreboard 

• Someone unbeknown to us can play a useful role and the ‘other wing’

• Gawn / TMac / Jacko / Fritta / Kossy can combine for 15 goals

In a wave of emotions I’ve seen us win, lose and win this game again. 
 

The leaders need to set the tone and control the tempo.

    I’ll be stuck in Canberra, glued to the TV and dressed in my full game day outfit.  I’ll be cheering along with you folks at the G, and belting out the words of the Grand Old Flag with you after the final siren (I wonder what the new neighbours will think!).  Dees by 5 or 6 goals!

    Perfect day for footy, looking forward to having a few beers at the G and hoping for a good win!  Go Dees!!!!

    Any thoughts / recommendations on taking a 2 year old?

    Not expecting to watch much of the game, might only last 20 minutes in our seat but taking the opportunity to jump on the train and get out of the house for an adventure. Got a decent seat on Level 2 as well.

    Lots of snacks and a fully charged phone and the YouTube app ?

    One for the historians. When was the last time we beat the same side twice in one day?

    The boys will beat Freo this afternoon and the girls will beat them tonight.

    The women play tomorrow night 

     

    Rain is just beginning to fall here in the northern suburbs, expecting a hard fought contest at the 'G" with the Demons to prevail.

    We know our backline is solid.

    Can we kick a winning score?

    Action Jackson to srand tall with 3 and Fritta a winning bag of 5.

    Dees by 2 goals.

    Good luck, we are taking a 7 month baby, at least she can’t walk. Take heaps of snacks, have lots of patience and enjoy the atmosphere, you will have a great time. ❤️?

    Well I do have a slight distance issue as well in terms of getting to the 'G. In fact out of interest I just checked out maps to see how far from home to the 'G it is: 666km! That has to be some sort of an omen...of what I am not sure.

    Helicopter?

    To be fair to our forward line, we did not have any of the footy against the dogs, so it’s rough to judge them based on that.

    Not to pump pressure on a 19/20 year old, but I feel like Pickett is going to be massively important for us this year. He had so many little half chances last year, but seemed to have a lot of posters or near misses. Reports are he is primed for a big year.

    here we are. 

    game time. 

    premiership points time. 

    The roller coaster begins...

    Come on Dees!!

     

     

    Good blend of experience and youth. 

    I was thinking about our end-to-end lines i.e from FB to FF, as it’s our ability to connect (and defend) along these lines that we’ve been working on, and if we can get right will see us rise. 
    Expect Maxy will play forward a lot, roaming up when balls in our defence, with our smalls setting up around and working off him, and the contested space around him. 
    Feeling confident that we’ve got the approach, age, speed/endurance, and motivation to win today, and as players return evolve into a powerful unit as the season progresses.

    as I was called recently in regard to my MFC thoughts I’m “bravely optimistic “.

    Dees by 5+ goals

    Go Denons!

    Despite his epic season last year Petracca has never had a 30 disposal game in his career.

    Today is the day!

    I'd prefer if he has his first 5 goal haul.

    I reckon we have had maybe only one or two bags of 5 by a player in 10 years.  Am I right? or am i just traumatised and my recollection is hazy as a result?

    Hogan I'm assuming both times.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
