    I’m nervous

    Poor form, fly in fly out, the Suns showing some ticker recently. It will not be easy

    But if we kick 12 goals i think we’ll win. Step forward BB

    And I hope as many of our Queensland based brethren as possible can get along to the game to support the boys, and fingers crossed enjoy a Win

    Big game in the context of our season. The sun's list is full of talent and will certainly take it up to us. Can easily see this game being close for 3 qtrs until we break away to win by 4 goals in the last. 


    Looking forward to seeing Jake Bowey out there. They say a first-gamer always perks a team up, so hope that's the case.

    This will say a lot.

    The cards are being stacked against us for sure, but good teams overcome adversity. 

    I’d say 2 out of 4 wins will see us in the top 4. Let’s make a start on that equation today.

    Demons by 8 points.

     

    Going to be a slog. The travel up on game day is one factor. Remember Maxy Gawn on an RSN interview said he personally struggled with this.

    Huge must win game.

     

    Is it going to be clear? When was the last time we played on a nice clear day and let our skills shine? (Pardon the pun)

    The better side wins today, r points and move on. Let's start building towards a finals campaign. Gawn full time ruck, Trac and Clarry I'm the middle, Gus back tia wing, pork ribs on the smoker... Back to normal you know?

    Oh to be able to kick 18.4 like the  Blues did last night! That’d be awesome. Provided the Suns kick 18.3 or less, that is. 
    Them kicking 3.18 would be even better!

    Forgot to wish ill on the Suns.

    Not sure what’s wrong with me but I feel strangely confident we will win and win convincingly.

    If Carlton can kick 18 what does that tell you?

    Managed to snag one of the few tables at The Rose to watch this one. Don’t know how they’re going to accommodate so many overlapping games to be honest. Like everyone else I have no idea which version of Melbourne  will show up today but I’d feel sick to my stomach if we throw away another opportunity.

    Good kicking is good football


    Best thing for a 'unified' team that has looked anything but for a month is a road trip.

    This part of the season could potentially end up a blessing, but it's Melbourne so who knows.

    Miracles can happen!

    A magnificent morning on the Gold Coast. Bone dry and not a cloud in the sky.  Very suitable for tall, marking forwards and very quick smalls to impact the scoreboard.

     King, Ainsworth and Sexton to have a field day then  ?

    I think we lose. Really hope that’s not the case.

    Thank God Rankine is out or we could slot him in for 6!

    I think we would need to win 3 to finish top 4. Win 2 and I have us finishing 5th or even 6th

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
