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: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
