Says the bloke with money on the Suns ?

After reading this /flight-va9009-the-untold-story-of-melbourne-s-round-20-adventure where we spent about 8 hours on the plane/tarmac and watching this video with Max sounding flat and talking of them being tired https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/990801/rd-20-dees-on-a-plane?videoId=990801&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1627717521001  makes me less optimistic about today. 

Still think we will win but was hoping for a really convincing win.  Hopefully, the shock move south for GCS affects them more.  

 

I really hope we slap the Suns up today because we desperately need momentum going into the Eagles game. 

While the shenanigans yesterday would have been hugely disruptive I think they would have benefited from the team bonding experience.

Yes Dub   $5 is too juicy for me! Still trying to get my Hawthorn money back


I've just looked at Fox sport and it doesn't mention our game. Is it broadcast live ?

Despite missing out on being at yesterday’s game on the Goldy, I’ll make up for it today. I just fired up the BBQ in my Demons polo and a pair of shorts for a brunch before the game. 27 degrees and cloudless in beautiful Bris Vegas today!  Already on the CC’s.
 

Go Dees! [censored] this rabble! BBB to kick 6!

 

A part of me would just love to sit back and enjoy a good drubbing of the Suns today. Talent on paper says so.

The other part knows deep down that I'll once again sit through a game knowing we've kicked 7.13 to 3 quarter time and we're 4 points up heading into the last quarter.....

Please be option 1.

On the club website in the story about yesterday there is a photo with Majak in it. He is not a named emergency - does anyone have any idea why he was on the plane?

Because the plan was to go to GC then Perth the club took a larger squad with them just in case.

Few other players went as well. Pretty sure Weid, vandenBerg, Melksham, Jordon, Hibberd, Majak and maybe more went.

The importance of this game is immense

only because our inept kicking at goal has made it so unfortunately.

This and the next two weeks should be regulation wins.

Of course they won't be.

If the hawks, adelaide, collingwood and to a lesser extend kangaroos game is anything to go by this game is a genuine 50/50. 

A shame that a win means means not much to our top 4 hopes as we need other teams to lose to make it most likely. But a loss 100% rules us out unless we beat geelong in geelong.

Yep I have it down for 12.30. channel 504 Foxtel

Chief Health Officers and the puppeteers pulling their vote swinging levers have no idea of the real world. You cam lump the top brass in VicPol. 

They have not lost 1 cent of pay and their power trips are fueling their misplaced ego and burning our once great country to its core,

6 million people or more in lockdown yesterday in NSW and these morons deny the burbs the opportunity to forget the reality of the most miserable time our country has ever known for a couple of hours to stamp a Power Play of No Professional Sport immediately. Its not like the players had been to school or that you could not put strict protocols in place. Surely a no crowd situation would have been enough.

What a bunch of entitled short sighted dogs. 

I also put Morrison in the entitled no idea bracket. Not so much for an ego boosting power trip like the other clowns. But he should not have let the media and whatever loose cannons indoctrinate the community with Anti Vax blood clot rubbish.

Just remember every single one of these puppeteers has not been impacted in any way shape or form like the rest of us. Our country, my friends, is nothing but a sad memory of what were once the golden years. I just wish we knew it was in fact the golden years were upon us.

Now we are just a sad disenfranchised bunch where the lowest common denominator is the majority and lazily accept the constant reaming and are just happy to play on facebook and watch The Bachelor while the uneducated political pigs ruin the joint.

Is this in the right thread?

On Kayo at noon so I suppose it’ll be on Fox as well.

Just saw video of Chappy handing Bowey his Jumper.  Chappy in a moonboot.  Anyone know what happened to him?

I’m watching the Aussies swim for gold because emotionally thinking about this game is too much. 

Edit: Gold! These women know how to deliver under pressure. Please learn Melbourne!

Edited by Jaded


Jordan the sub. Brayshaw back to the wing and Bowey off the HFF or will they move Hunt forward? Either way I much prefer Brayshaw on the defensive wing

Wondering whether it will be any more enjoyable watching the Dees if I hold off on a beer till half time?

How’s this for double standards???

 I just read this on the ABC News website…..

ABC News: Despite 11 Queensland LGAs being plunged into lockdown, the NRL will finish round 20 of the competition in Brisbane today and tomorrow.

 

The schedule change came just hours after Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said no professional or community sport would be played during lockdown. 

"There will be no football matches," she said at Saturday's media conference announcing the three-day lockdown.

"No community sport, no professional sport for the next three days." 

 

Money + Local Perochialism = No Covid here... here...no covid!

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
