We are surely the only supporter base in the country who on game day discuss what we are eating and drinking and it’s not VB and a servo pie, but smoked meat and aged whiskey and salad and cheese ?

Fish fingers in the George Foreman.
Salad .... Pffft.

    Being a traditionalist, I'll be inhaling a couple of meat pies from the local bakery but the real key to a good day 's barracking will be sloshing them down with a decent shiraz.

    Timing is key off course so the first one will hit the cakehole at about 2.30.

    I'm oddly nervous about this game. I don't know whether it's the Buckley departure or the fact the we have an inability to blow games out. Or if its Jamie Elliott's recently found form. arggh

    Im having a debate with a Collingwood supporter friend. How long has the QB match (Melb vs Collingwood) been going for. ie: how long is the tradition?

    The tradition has been at least since the Norm Smith 1950s. Enough said!

    It's VB for me up here in Qld. Keep the Vic in me going.

    On any measurement we should win this game by a solid amount, but I doubt it will be a smashing: Collingwood's biggest losing margin this year is 30 (vs GWS and Sydney).

    They can defend reasonably well but they really struggle to score. Even last week when they won, they only scored 78, and they were super accurate with 12.6 to Adelaide's 10.13.

    They've only scored above 80 three times all year, against weak defensive sides (Carlton, Essendon and North). Against stronger defensive sides they've struggled to score (53 vs the Dogs, 42 vs Sydney, 51 vs Geelong).

    Elliott and De Goey are dangerous in the forward line but they have to get it there. We know that when we're at least breaking even in the middle, and when our forward half game is on, even the best forward lines struggle to score: the Dogs and Brisbane over the last fortnight are the perfect examples. 

    If we do what we know we can do, there is a comfortable win here for the taking.

    But the Adelaide game reminds us that if we're off, any side can beat us.

    Good points titan but if we win in the middle it can be in the goal square in one kick. I reckon Weid will get opportunities today - he'll need to capitalize .

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
