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?

    Langdon averaging just over 24 possies and a goal a game at the MCG this year. Look for him to tear it up!

    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.....!!!!

    We have to get off to a great start. The past few weeks the teams have jumped us by kicking the first few goals.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
