TC, The swan down cushions will be reserved for the front seats that are upholstered in tiger pelts.

As for Mr. Wells, I do not think it is HG. I believe I saw Mr.Wells brother in a movie many years ago', First name 'Oceans'.

CHF pleasing news on the furnishings front but totally perplexed ? on the identity of the mysterious ‘Mr Wells’. The answer must exist somewhere in the ether between George Clooney and the Invisible Man?

    A full defensive effort and not letting them get a hot start is important.  The challenge for us is matching the midfield.  IF we can win or halve the midfield and apply our pressure, we are better forward than they are back, and better back than they are forward.  Papley kept quiet, Hickey and Kennedy nullified and BBB to kick a BBBag.

    They lost nearly every stat but still won last week against the slowing Cats.  They wont get that luxury this week.  Expect we will take the game by 50-70 points.

    In their last four games they fell in against Essendon, lost to GWS, got thumped by Gold Coast and absolutely burgled that win against Geelong.

    With Fritta beating the charges and trak a dee for life, the lid will be off at the G on Sat night.

    Dees by six goals. Bathwater Express rolls on.

    True true. I think we will handle them comfortably.

    Would be nice to have a great start and be up 5 goals at quarter time, we haven't done that this season.

    Gee, there are some super confident posters on here. We cant keep winning forever. If Sydneys IN'S are 100% fit its going to be close. If  Buddy and Rampe breakdown we should win.Weve lost 2 key players.

    Does anyone the stats on our best start to a season? How many did we win in 1965? What year did we win 8 in a row etc? 

    Won our first 8 games in 1965.   Not sure if thats our record.

    Had a quick look and I see we won our first 13 games in 1956.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
