Don’t remind me, the first game of the year I saw in person.

    We should win this one in a canter. Crows have nothing to play for and we have top spot on the line.

    Dees by 40+

    Last 4 years (including this year), Adelaide produced in MCG:

    2018    Rd 13   Hawthorn  vs  Adelaide   MCG      88:32   lost by 56

                 Rd 16   Richmond  vs  Adelaide   MCG   103:56   lost by 47

    2019    Rd19      Carlton     vs  Adelaide   MCG      87:60   lost by 27

    2020                                     None

    2021    Rd22   Melbourne vs Adelaide   MCG      ? : ?     lost by 20+ 

    I reckon this time, the max points Demons would allow Crows to kick are 60, Demons themselves will kick over 80.

    I felt both B Brown and Viney are slowly but getting better and better.

    I like Koz, I like May and his recent interview.

    I like Melksham's mark and goal kicking last Monday. In Rd 5 Hawthorn's game (in MCG), he kicked 3.0, no behinds. Let's prepare some instant milkshake ready for this afternoon...

    Go Melksham, go Koz, go Dees!

    The last time we beat Adelaide at the G, (the late) Colin Sylvia, Jurrah and Moloney were running amok.

    Let’s hope Collingwood are the only side we couldn’t beat in 2021.

    Tis strange. All the TV guides have 7 broadcasting essendon/goldcoast at 3pm.Guess we will have to wait and see.

    Not sure nationally, but our game today will only be on Fox Footy from a Victorian perspective.

    Perhaps In SA it will be on channel 7 but doubtful anywhere else.

    I know I’m not always positive about things but jeez this a negative spin.

    Percentage doesn’t mean anything now but I would ours to go above the Bulldogs to further reinforce that we have been the best team all year.

    I’m actually pointing out how outstanding our season has been to beat all but one side, assuming we salute today. That’s next level brilliant.

    It’s a positive comment.

    It's opening up for us somewhat. Teams around us are getting key injuries while we still have a charmed run.

    We need to make the most of it and cement a top 2 spot. Can't rely on the dogs winning next week, just win today and in Geelong or we run the risk of playing port in Adelaide

    I expect us to be switched on and professional. Players are playing for finals spots so no hollywood BS. Heat, intensity, system, method. The Crows fired their last bullets in the showdown last weekend so won't put up much resistance unless we give them a sniff.

    50 point Dees win. BB to kick 5

    Reminder the the aggrieved masses - handballs over the head is in vogue... it's not the 90's anymore. :cool:

    Agree on BBB. Viney won’t be playing….Still suspended. 

    It's a still, partly cloudy morning here on the west side of town. It might only be 8am but there's a hint of warmth in the air and the cherry blossoms are blooming on the tree out front of HQ so September must be within touching distance. In these lockdown times it'll be a stripped back game day affair with a walk round to our local caff Sadie Black for some take away lunch that'll be washed down by some bottles of Sunset from the Two Birds brewery down in Spotswood. Enjoy the game everyone, wherever and how ever you'll be watching it.

    Reckon it's a Ben Brown kind of day. Tipping 4 or 5 goals today and really stamp himself, and remind the competition that he's still got it.

    Agreed on this CB.  Win today and were' playing for top next week and will be above the Dogs.

    Also, looking at the losses this year, I believed at the game that GWS are worthy finalists after their win against us, the Hawks showed they a a good team yesterday and the draw could be called noteworthy (?), and the Pies had the Buckley emotion.

    Adelaide were the only outlier in the Dees performance this year.

    Lets put that to bed today and we have beaten just about all comers so far this year. Self-doubt inside the club would be non-existent going into finals.

    I would welcome the chance to play a team that hasn't beaten a top side all year in Port (rather than Geelong) for first week of finals.

    A win with no injuries is that aim of the day. Could be a big day for BBB. Maybe the day he breaks out as a Dee.

    With Covid numbers in Victoria going backwards, a win today is the only thing that can put a smile on the face of Melbourne supporters. Let’s do this!

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
