    Just try it......

    “I want to see Daniher put a knee into the back of Gawn when Gawn decides to drop back in the hole in our forward 50. We can't let him drift back and take marks untouched, we at least need to make him earn it and expect there to be heavy contact coming.”

    Daniher is a fairy. He'll go missing but bob up in the last!

    None of that is too unreasonable.

    I prefer it when opposition supporters are feral flogs ...

    More from big footy;


    “Number of goal kickers for Melbourne round 7 to 11 -
    7 5 8 11 8 average 7.8
    and for us 9 11 10 9 13. Average 10.4
    simply doesn’t matter who they shut down, we can still get goals. Them, not so much.
    might be another night for Mitch and matho to shine.”

     

    Matho??

     

    “They have a very good top 3 as do we, overall looks pretty even, who ever wants it more will get on top.
    Some possible match ups? >
    James Madden > Kysaiah Pickett.
    Harris Andrews > Sam Weideman.
    Marcus Adams > Tom McDonald.
    Brandon Starcevich > Bayley Fritsch.
    LIONS to slay the Demons.”

     

    “Dogs can be easily rattled with high pressure around the ball, we will thrive in that but need to make sure we don’t have a lazy start like we did against the Tigers the week before.”


     

    “I'd like us to recognize where Gawn is and kick it to another option where he isn't. I've seen a few of the Melbourne games so far this year & it never ceases to amaze me that he is often at the drop of an opposition kick. Oliver for me is the most dangerous with Petracca close behind. I believe we stop those 3 and we will win.”

     

    “Andrews on Weideman. Adams on McDonald. Lester on Fritsch. Starcevich on Pickett. McStay to play a defensive forward role on Lever - stop him from intercepting marks.”



    “Langdon is a big out for them.Wins a lot of ball and provides a great run around the ground. I wouldn't risk Neale, with the bye coming up give him that extra couple weeks rest. We can afford to rest him another week winning 7 straight.”

     
     

    “The one side who were able to beat Melbourne this year, did so by taking the game on through the middle of the ground and using their run and handball game to break run through the zone. I don't think we have the personnel off half back to successfully play a similar way. I suspect we're going to rely on Rich and Birchall hitting up a player in the middle of the zone to break it up, or continue to go down the line and hope we at least 50/50 the contest.”

    Only one guarantee - we will be swearing at Rhys “Free Kicks: 15-2” Mathieson when he gets his 8th free kick for dropping the knees.

    Agree but most of their other payers aren't. I was at Metricon last year us V Lions and all they did was bump, push, scrag Gawn off the ball all game. Umpires did nothing so no doubt they will do same and we can only hope the Umpires do something this time.

    That would be a very smart move IMO.

    Who is in their top 3 they refer to? I don't expect Neale to play.  Zorko, McCluggage ???  I strongly prefer Petracca and Oliver.

    They are a very very good side, and much more even across the ground than the Dogs, who outside of their midfield are only average. 

    IMO they could easily snag the flag this year, and we must show the same intensity and application as we did against the Dogs, or we will get cut up.

    No Langdon is a massive loss. I really don't know if we can win it without him. Need some massive games from our small forwards to ensure we keep the ball locked inside our forward 50 as much as possible, so the Lions don't go for a quick kick down the wing to try and open us up without Langdon.

    Langdon was quiet last week and we won?

    Bricks. Old yellow bricks, crumbling with age in a garden-wall; the sweet breath of young cows standing in a mountain-stream; the lead roof of a dove-cote — or perhaps a granary — with the mid-day sun on it; black kid gloves lying in a bureau-drawer of walnut-wood; a dusty road with a horses’ drinking-trough beneath the sycamores; little mushrooms bursting through the rotting leaves; and — and — and — not parsnips.

    There are two points of difference between the sides: 1. They have more goal kicking options; 2. We have Gawn.  I expect they'll come hard at Max, as they did last year.  How the team handles that will tell us a lot.  I like our defensive match ups on their forwards and our system should hold firm against their style.

    And this is the answer to your question, “...what’s Fonzie like?”

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
