Good! You can take one back with you to Nth Qld if you like. They probably havent got such luxuries up there with the crocs. 

Thx I would but I only have carry on baggage.  Mightlook a tad peculiar.

    Didnt Sparrow play yesterday?

    Yep, close to BOG. Jetta and Mitch Brown up there as well. Brown probably won it for us with goals late in the game. Beat Geelong by a point. They steadied it really well late in the game to get the win. Poor kicking at goal almost cost us.

    So Sparrow won't be playing today and Petracca ran through a full session yesterday with no problems evidently.

    The one thing I want from this home and away season is to never have to worry about percentage at all for once. 

    Just keep banking the points boys.

    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. ?

    Lol.  Funniest thing I've had all morning.

    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.

    A beard bath.  Lol.

    Loving the comedic light relief on D'land here this morning.

     

    Weather in melb doesn't look too bad 16 deg maybe a small drizzle later but nothing much. 

    Quite a bit of wind though.. 

     I'm rolling thunder, pouring rain
    I'm coming on like a hurricane
    My lightning's flashing across the sky
    You're only young, but you're gonna die
    I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
    Nobody's putting up a fight
    I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
    I'm gonna get ya, Satan get ya

    Hells bells
    Hells bells, you got me ringing
    Hells bells, my temperature's high
    Hells bells

    GO DEES

    Expecting to get a good win 40+, but we need to get a good start against the Blues, feel we've been a little slow in recent weeks with our starts. For a team that is 8-0 we have done enough to win most games, but only really had one convincing win (scorewise) given that the hawks were right with us for 3 quarters

    Carlton could be with us for 3 quarters as well like they did with the bulldogs, however I still expect to win by 40+

    I hope the boys got up this morning and saw that we are not 1st on the ladder anymore and decided this level of mediocrity just won’t do anymore.

    A win wil depend on how much the backline are switched on. They have been very good this year but in todays game they may clear it easy out of the centre and provide their forwards with heaps of chances. i would put a hard tag on walsh.

    To be fair, we’re still yet to beat a team above us on the ladder.

    I watched that game, I think that was more indicative of the doggies not switching on till late. 

    The key difference between us and the doggies is obviously our defensive lines, the doggies couldn't really handle McKay, we have more options.  we are much better defensively than the blues, and I don't think McKay will get the freedom that he got last week.

    Last week Fritta was quite though.  Was that a result of 3, or was it just that Sydney decided they needed to play a lockdown job on him after he kicked the bag the week before?

    There are going to be Carlton lockdowns on players. I am sceptical that Carlton have enough suitable players to provide lockdowns for a whole game against the Dees. Their prime movers around the ground will already have their hands full attempting to earn a kick, feed a pass, score a goal, etc, etc. That leaves their young 'uns to do the heavy work, the dirty work, the perilously tiring work of tagging contributing Dees.

    Dees to win quarters 2, 3 and 4, notching up a scoring spree to finish the game by a 40 points margin.

    Gerard on 360 said that May needed the scalp of McKay today in order to be seen as sitting alongside Andrews, Moore and Weitering in the elite fullback club.

    Although that is garbage as he already sits comfortably alongside them, and it’s one game, if that’s what he and others need to allow him into the elite club then so be it.

    I’ll take a win and Maysie giving Harry a nice bath.

    Yes, we need to be intent on protecting that bit of real estate, that we’ve worked so diligently to earn.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
