I had a dream that we kicked 87 goals and 21 points which equates to 543. The odd thing was that in my dream I saw the scoreboard and that’s exactly what it said, 87 goals 21 points: 543. Apparently I’m a maths wizard but only in my sleep. Anyway, I think we’ll actually win this one easily. Bulldogs hero Ugly-Hogan to be held to just the one possession. Brown will kick 52 of the 87 goals.

I definitely don’t want us to lose. But I also don’t think that if we lose a close hard fought game it’s the end of the world. 
 

It could very much impact our chances of finishing top 4, which in the current climate could make life very difficult. Need to absolutely maximise the games we play in Melbourne, could get quite challenging afterwards travel wise.

Plus, we desperately need to turn around and solidify our form IMO. It's been shaky at best over the last 5 weeks and I'd much rather us head towards finals with a full head of steam (and a settled forward line) than continuing our up and down performances.

Can't just expect things will get better later on, have to make it happen, starting tonight.

If we win tonight I’m booking my flights for the GF. 
Tonight we’ve got our best chance to seal away the minor premiership and at the same time put our firm credentials on the league premiership and to really hush the naysayers who still think we’re brittle and will eventually cave. 
Gotta put some work into Bont and Naughty if we’re to have a comfortable win but I’m still going into this one pretty confident.

We will know tonight whether we really are contenders for a flag this year. Surprisingly feeling bullish about this game…

A. We’ll match the intensity of Footscray. 

B. The game will be played in wet conditions.

Dees by 16 points.

Footscray is a VFL side. I'd rather we match the intensity of a top-tier AFL side.?(tongue-in-cheek emoji hidden by a mask)

Nevertheless, I agree about the intention of the first point. And the rain radar shows a lot of rain heading our way. Currently in the far west of the State. Not sure if it will be here in time to affect the game, though. If it does get here, yep, very wet.)

Tx for the forecast. Not sure but it may favor us.

In my view we are yet to be so considered  but win tonight I may begin to believe

We're top of the ladder. We've been top of the ladder for 10 rounds, in the top 2 for 15 rounds, and in the top 4 for the entire season.

We're 9-0 against the top 11.

Two weeks ago we comprehensively outplayed the side sitting 4th on their home deck with a vocal opposition crowd.

But in your view we've never been a legitimate contender?

Should be a good close game. I reckon the Dogs will get up. Our form has been average in the past 2months despite beating some good teams 

2 wins from our last 6 games. We need to turn out form around quick

It's 3 from 6, and a 3-1-2 record overall.

It will be 2 from our last 6 if we lose tonight, though.

The BOM may have got its original forecast a bit wrong. There's rain a'coming for sure but it's light to medium according to the current radar images. And no mega front by any stretch. Fingers crossed for reasonable conditions tonight.

Another response needed by MFC.

The two frontrunners, have we learned anything from the two games we have already played against them. Could be a good strategic game. Will Bevo or Goods throw all their stuff into the mix?

Hoping we play an attacking game and not a dour affair. Let our defence stand up without all the mids flooding back and exhausting themselves. 

Want accuracy in-front of goals. It has been our achilles heal. Hoping the forward structure is developing quickly. 

Tackles need to stick and can't let them have easy or uncontested disposals. 

We won't jump them again in the first (though would like a repeat). So we need to stick close and not let them blow us away early and play for the 4 quarters. 

It will be a spirited game.

Come out angry Dees.

Reset the season after some loses. Good chance to win the ones that matter.

Go Dees.

Curious, if we lose tonight, do most posters on here,  interpret it that we are not 'legitimate contenders'?

Of course they will! You know how it goes… Win, and it’s all, I’m glad I’ve got my GFG, this is our year etc. Lose, and it’s all, ima run a hot bath, slide on in, and open a vein. ?

Wrong picket, if they work out a system on how to deliver the ball into the forward line that will go down as the great efforts of the season.

Really need to win tonight.

Dont want us playing port in our first final on their turf.

Then the hawks draw and cwood....crows fiasco losses come back and could cost us a flag before we get a look in.

Gee credit given for our wins against top teams but those losses really stand out at this end of the season and they were as monumental as our wins. We dont make it easy for ourselves.

Im sorry but its true.

It's an interesting psychological study to see some supporters almost hoping we lose purely to buck the trend of us beating good teams and losing to poor ones...

 

Which logically doesn’t make sense since it’s the top sides we’ll meet in September and not the cellar dwellers.

Let's not kid ourselves. We have played 1 good game in the last 5

The way we play will be very important tonight. We need to be switched on the word go.

Not Goodwins strong suit though...

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
