I would imagine they would have had a short training session at the ground around late arvo.

 

So is the game at 6.10 or 7.10 (Melbourne time)?

Hopefully giants rock up at half time.

They did last time I made this trip. They killed us in the second half.

    If we bring our best we'll win. 

    They (GWS) could bring their best but can they sustain it if we're at our best? 

    Rather than matching them we need to set the standard and then keep our foot on their throats ... do that and GWS will wilt

    So really, the ball is in our court.  And the team still has a lot to prove so being off our game at this stage of the season would be unacceptable

    Having said all that I would take any sort of win!

    Just win!

    The way things are panning out, it looks as though we've beaten two bottom eight sides thus far.

    GWS are much the same, so taking advantage will be crucial as we'll have a much tougher run in the middle part of the season.

    We need to cancel out those two matches against the Doggies, with two wins against GWS.

    Let's go Demons!

    Pretty sure it was yesterday afternoon.  Max said in the video of support they sent to the AFLW side that they'd be watching in the airport.  That match was yesterday arvo.

    correct, they missed the aflw game because they had to be at the airport before game time

    Dont like it. Melbourne will have to sit around most of today twiddling their thumbs and thinking too much. Much better flying up today having  a relaxing lunch then go for a light  run later and off to the game.

    On form we should win comfortably, but GWS will be fired up at the start as it’s their last hurrah today at 0-2 and abysmal contested differential last week.

    Should be a slog and poor quality game. Just need to banks the 4 points and get back to a few games in a row at the G.

    I hope after the amount of practice we had last year, that game day routines when we travel have been if not perfected, at least ironed out.

    Either way it wont be used as an excuse if we lose as last year showed.

    Anywhere Anytime Anyone. (or something like that)

    Melbourne always play better when Hogan doesn't play. Dee's by 60 odd, T Mac to kick 4, with Jackson the surprise package kicking 3 of his own.

    I know the season is still in its infancy but gws are a bottom tier team and hence we simply must win.

    3 zero isnt enough. Big win must be forthcoming if we are serious contenders.

    It’s the default expectation of being a Melbourne supporter of the 2007-2021 era.

    That must explain our great success in 2019 and 2020!

    Hogan was actively playing for Freo! Today he plays for no one, check mate

     

    What is it with people who run with the bent logic that our win against the Saints is somewhat tarnished because Essendon beat them by a greater margin. 

    So does Sydney beating Richmond make them a lock for the flag then....

    Must also mean than because Freo defeated the Giants and we defeated Freo we automatically win today. 
     

    No other variables should be taken into account.

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
