I reckon we will win in typical 2021 Melbourne style. Close for the first half and then have a Handy 6 goal win

 

It's actually enjoyable going tot he footy now and seeing this exciting team play. 

Have no idea what to expect tonight. I think we should win but I hate seeing Franklin & Rampe back and our ins aren't giving me much confidence. 

I expect May to take Buddy. Hickey has been in good form to Gawn will have his work cut out and the midfield should be a good battle. 

Heeny out helps. If we lose at least we will still be top 2 but win and we can go even more clear of the team below us.

Can't hear anyone banging on about Shinboner Spirit at the moment.

    Do we have one of the best forward lines going around?

    Cats fwd line last night was awesome.

    We are just yet to see its full potential.

    If Tmac can play his best, hes as good as Hawkins maybe.

    Fritra is our Rohan and Bbb can be better than Cameron.

    If Tmac loses form he will be replaced by Sw.

    Tmac was not good last week but has shown this year he is still a great player especially as a foward.

    Add Luke J to the mix and its a deadly combo with our smalls in Spargo and Kozzie.

    So since the others have shown great effort it hangs on Bbb to strut his stuff.

    Thought he was quite good last week and aside from two goals was instrumental in two more.

    Geelong showed the power of three proven dangerous guns in their attack. 

    I think we will tonight.

    So glad that Frittas playing.

    Dees by six with Swans missing lots of chances instead of us.

    Trac to tear it up with Kozzie and Harmes surprising many with a great performance.

    2 x Free Adult reserve seat tickets for tonight.

    Have been away and totally forgot that I opted in to get tickets via our memberships so happy to give away to someone that hasn’t yet organized tickets for themselves.

    Seats are on Level 2 and each adult seat comes with a child seat (age up to 5) with it - but the child seat was free / included so doesn’t have to be utilized.

    Direct Message me on here if keen.

    Cheers

    Any word on if Melksham will play since his wife just gave birth today?

    If he’s out, do we think Sparrow or Jones will be the late in?

    It would appear that the MCC is booked out tonight so is it going to be a big crowd?

     

    Maybe the baby can kit up and take papa's place  tonight.Alot of posters on this forum would agree. Iol  I hope  The Shake plays. He should be fired up for a big night.

    Sounds terrific but hard to believe. Rain in the evening and a interstate side. Must be loads of seats avaiable.

    Melbourne won't be flat today. They had their bad one against the Kangas.

    Sydney have had a disrupted week, with covid scare. Coaches missing and anxiety states will have its mental effect, hopefully in a negative way. There will be less time to review and work on the lessons from the game against the Cats.

    Tracc to show why his big contract was appropriate, with other new contracted players standing up together, Oliver and Salem. It will be a sign of our stability. 

    Need more selfless acts, so it is action and not a thought bubble.

    Angry Dees, time to belt this lot and continue to change the dialogue of, "no fight". We are hard to beat, as we play for the 120 minutes. Sydney will have to be on to keep up with us.

    BBB to do more after he got the "rust" out of his system.

    Backline to keep on keeping on.

    I want to see a more active midfield at the stoppages.

    Our runners and link players have been breaking lines and assume this will happen again. Sydney could work hard to block, nulify and disturb our flow. I expect a dour game from them as they try and stem the flow of goals. If they try to play in our forward area and counter, they will be smashed because our conversion of inside 50 is much better than in the past and our backs are smart and have a great structure. 

    Our ball movement, execution and decisions, and the pressure we bring to the game has been outstanding. 

    Training with a smile, then with the seriousness of the knowledge that we are hunted. We will turn that round and hunt those underfed Swans. We are confident, with plenty of buy in and a good system.

    Challenging games will get us up and going. Do the basics well, and trust in our way.

    Own the G, Go Dees.

    Looking at the radar is looks like there will be a fair bit of run hitting towards the start of the game.

    LOVE this!!!

    I’m nervous af right now. I liken game day to going on a long haul flight: you’re nervous/excited/anxious on the day of, leading up to the bounce (take-off), you can only relax once the siren goes and we’ve won (touchdown) and you hope like hell that the people around you in forced close proximity don’t ruin your experience with nasty belligerent behaviour - talking to you, Collingwood thugs - (crying babies, passenger next to you who won’t stop talking to you and has bad breath). 
    That last bit happened to me last year . 15.5 hours of drivel and halitosis. ?

    Probably out to prove North were so wrong.

    That aside from last years poor showing that he really still is the best full forward in the comp like he was in 2019,2018and 2017.

    And now he is a team better than North will do even better.

    Go bbb.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      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?
