Memo to players .... don't cough up goals in the first and/or last minute of quarters.

Memo to mids....dont get jumped again.

My message to the team would be run, run, run.

That swarm has beaten others, and we do it all over the field.

We aren't doing stupid things when we have the ball, so don't start today. Do the basics well and take your opportunities.

Hoping for a stylish high skilled game with a lot of effort and 1 percenters.

I still want them to be angry and not to ease up on a middle of the table team.

Need our accuracy and centre clearances to improve.

We must have confidence, which helps in game planning and  the ability to implement the things they work on during the week, plus having a smile at their workplace, I expect continued improvement.

Agree about getting jumped early and coughing up junk time goals.  Don't allow it.

Go Dees

Addit:

            Who is the med sub?  Melky's the sub. Great to have experience around the players and if called on.

            How is the weather?

We're playing one of the only sides comparable to us for poor starts: both us and them have only won 3 of 8 first quarters this year (North, Fremantle, Adelaide and St Kilda are the only other sides in the competition less than 4).

They're 6 of 8 in third quarters, but only 4 of 8 in fourth quarters (we're 7 of 8 and the only loss was last week to Sydney by a point).

Is anyone behind the goals at the Punt road end singing "Youll Never Walk Alone?"

A W in the W/L column is all that's required 

I reckon we'll have that covered halfway through the 2nd quarter, and really turn it on. A 10 goal win is there for the taking.

Also, since sacking Brendan Bolton in mid-2019, Carlton have lost 20 games. But of those 20 losses, only two have been by more than 5 goals (a 68 point loss to Geelong in the last round of 2019 and a 31 point loss to Hawthorn last year).

So they don't always win, but under Teague they rarely get well beaten.

Would love to see a big first quarter today. 
 

We’ve only won the first quarter in three matches this year, and with the exception of Rd 1 against the Dockers, not by much at all.  
 

Of the teams we’ve lost first quarters to are the Hawks and the Roos. 
 

Our slow starts can’t become the norm.

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.

 

Shallowly assumptive of the star qualities; just look at the points against for the team across the ladder. That will tell you who is most likely to be the most effective at fullback, holding the whole defence together and initiating plays into attack. May is already up there and simultaneously, ahead.

I wish that I was at the game, it is much harder when you are watching from home not so many distractions to take your mind off the pre game jitters. Three daughters and grandson are there. I am desperately wanting this Winning feeling to continue, on and on and on.....!!!!

Go Dee’s !!!!!!!!

I want to see AnB and perhaps Hunt have a blinder. Cos if they can do well and they are our ( arguable ) unpredictable players. We wil win easily.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
