It would be classic Dees to blow today so it is a good test to see how mentally tough they really are. Could be season defining.

Why oh why do Iย see Toby Greene or worse a nondescript play outa their skin and we dont turn up ! That would be so utterly Melbourne. I of so little faith.lets see

Never needย to post these days. It all gets said better than I could say it.ย 

Let's harken back to the Northey days, when we had finally shrugged off the easybeats tag and had belief.

Langdon reminds me of the Febey twins. There is only one of him, but it always looks like two of him out there.ย 

PS Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated, but the nusing home staff have learned better than to let me watch the dees games live. Too many solid objects thrown at too many screens.?

Got my 50 year MCC membership earlier this year. Wondering if that trumps my 50 year ban from the members.ย ย ?

Well Posted there Rollinson 65!

I'm with you on the great Swoopwer.

My Northey take away is of teams that were never prepared to lie down or be beaten till the end.ย 

Last week I saw the team challenged twice and deal with it professioanlly. Small sample size as they say but I felt the saints game would be some sort of marker for this season. I expect the same today at Canberra and be 3 - 0 by 8.30 AEST.

Don't underestimate how deep the scars are!ย  I have never been confident before a game and I don't think I ever will be.

With Saints going down to the hapless Dons, and the Blues towelling up Freo, Iโ€™m getting an uncomfortable feeling that beating both means little, and we may be in for a shock today...

Gotta start well.

Go Demons.

Totally incorerct assumption here PaulRB. - although undertsandable.

The issue this season is that once the Dees beat you, you stay beaten for at least another few weeks.

Seriously, the saints would have pencilled in the game last week as a win - Rude shock .

I've just been enjoying the Romsey sun whileย slurpingย down 4 stubbies of Jameson and colaย that one of my acolytes left behind. It's rubbish but alcoholic - the sort of stuff that @picket fencewould rate as a very fine brew.

Time to open a shiraz and start my pre game routine.

I note that a few above are less than confident.

Bah to that! I've loaded up on Sportsbet - my nethers tell me we're a good thing today!

I imagine your nethers have made many of your life decisions over the years. Donโ€™t lead us wrong today!!

Hey Uncle I am down at Chez Picket Fence coastal retreat at Inverloch and was just thinking exactly the same thing, a cleansing " Little Giant" Barossa Shiraz 2018 will go down well with the Fillet Mignon im about to consume pre game??

If we come out flat, Iโ€™ll be looking to Trac, Viney, Gawn, May, Oliver, Lever, Jetta to lift us. That is why you gave leaders and gun players. You earn your money to correct the ship

i wont be blaming the bottom 6

I'm at Cape Paterson , Picket, you might hear me from there

Any chance of Hunt going to Greene? Has the athleticism but may be challenged with the smarts. Hard to see who else could go with Greene.

Yep. Still think we're favourites but it looks like we've snuck past the bottom couple of sides, aside from North.

Looking for a clinical performance, this evening.

Anyone attending that can give a weather update?

Don't mind it at all. Maybe Tomlinson to Himmelberg as well. Finlayson out helpsย

Currently enjoying a convivial at the Kingston prior to the game. Judging by the team colours on display we should out number GWS support by 3 to 1. Mind you Mrs DW and I make enough noise to drown out 40 oppo supportersย 

Give em a few load BALL calls for me?

At least they haven't got Mumford to thugerise Max this year. The endorsement of that game from the AFL was a disgrace

If we win today it will be the first time since 2005 with a 3-0 start. Buts itโ€™s likeย us to stuff up a great opportunity. I hope not.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
