Would like to see TMac share the rucking duties, leaving Weid and brown forward.  TMac has the ability to go forward and back with the play, and be a link man through the middle.

Carlton fans are a despicable bunch.  I would welcome the chance to dack this bunch of pretenders.  Good pressure all day and they bust open early.  Will make the excessively priced beer taste a bit better.

    I can't make it today and missing my 1st game. So everyone going barrack loudly and get our boys home. 

    Looking forward to what Weid will do today. I hope Brown continues on and kicks a bag of goals and Maxy dominate the ruck. 

    We want our top spot back and go 3 games clear of port and geelong. 

    Bring it home boys.

    I just double the blood pressure meds for game day brekky.

    Late change for us today? Slight murmur about it apparently. I don’t know more than that.


    Was just watching the 2018 replay when we crushed em by 109 points.
    I noticed how much our list has improved since then and noted the changes from the 22

    Melbourne
    IN: May, Petty, Rivers, Langdon, Jordon, Ben Brown, Pickett, Weideman, Hunt and Chandler

    Out of the side: Jetta, Jones, Melksham, Viney
    Out of the club: Hogan, OMac, Hannan, Lewis, Tim Smith, Vince

    Carlton:
    Only have Harry McKay, Patrick Cripps, Liam Jones, Lachie Plowman and Marc Murphy playing from that game in 2018

    They have improved some positions by adding Walsh, Stocker, Weitering, Saad, Williams and Betts to the team

    The rest, meh

    Tipping Weed to have a monster game. They have to put all their energy into stopping brown and tmac and koz. 
     

    this will leave weed almost free. A very different prospect to being the only guy in the fwd line and being triple teamed

    Would be Petracca out I'm assuming if any late change. Sparrow to come in?

    Yep, I'm nervous!

    Would love to see Max, Kozzie, Fritta and Trac back to their best today.

    Love Clarry to show the Blues what they're missing out on.

    Salem and Lever to continue their AA form.

    BBB to kick six.

    Chandler to show signs.

    Angus to play a blinder!

    Surely not.  Trac would be 'fine to play next week' according to Goody!

    (Using my best sarcastic voice for the above statement).

    Edited by Rodney (Balls) Grinter

    Feeling a very solid win coming on   FWIW, the club have generally been very cautious with injuries and if there were any doubts on Petracca i think we would have rested him given we're 8-0. i'm very confident he'll play

    In the supermarket and a halfwit in a Carlton beanie says to me, “youse are gonna lose today and you know why? Coz youse never play good against Colt’n.”

    I didn’t reply. I just wondered, “who ties your shoelaces for you?” ?

    Hey, can you hear that? It’s the sound of Darwin rolling in his grave. ?

    Amazing how we never play well against them yet have won the last 5 games with them. 
     

    Carlton are overrated. Predicting a fairly clinical win today.

    I was thinking the same way Re a Port win, but as it's panned out, I think it was better them loosing as it could put us 3 games clear inside the top 2, which is really more important.  No real difference between finishing 1 or 2 come finals time, but 2 or 3 could mean a home Vs away final.

    The closeness of the end result last night has also helped bring the dogs % back down to earth a little.

    This!

    Beware the three-headed monster, a la Dillon, Parke, Collcott. Apologies in advance for historically inaccurate allusion. Allusion 2.0: Lyon, Bennett, Jakovich.

    I’d say Melbourne by three points as I’m not sure any team can remain ‘up’ for this long.

    I'm expecting a comfortable win today - but historical trauma means I would not be surprised if we lost.

    Just on your quote above @Colin B. Flaubert - I would argue that even if you win matches - it doesn't mean you're 'up' all the time. Be that the team as a whole, or individuals. 

    I feel we've had 3 out of 8 wins thus far where we have been far from our best, thus not being consistently 'up' but still getting the points (it's what all very good teams do).

    An 'up' win would be capitalising and kicking 70%+ of our scoring opportunities, and demolishing a team.

    We haven't done that yet in 2021

    Let's hope that begins today.

     

    Go Dees!

    Melbourne by 42. 

    Kozzie to kick 5. 

    Max Gawn to return to his best form and give Carlton a beard bath. 

    arm wrestle in the first half, then Dees run away with it. 

    Zac Williams to earn his money and get 10 touches today.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
