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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
