I hope this isn’t the Last time we play on the MCG this year

Something tells me this might be the case SWYL. I hope the situation in Melb can get better for all the diehards who have shed blood, sweat and tears for this club.

    Couple of things can come from this game.

    1. Take back top spot and go into next week with more confidence, with 3 on the trot.

    2. More touch for our forward half connection. I expect Fritsch to get on the end of a few today. 

    3. Oliver's game vis a vis the Coaches Votes/Brownlow.

    May out and Smith in.  I wonder how early in the week Smith knew?  Good chance to give May a rest, and to see where Smith fits in.  I reckon Petty steps into the May role, and smith plays more of a hybrid hunt/petty role.  A good chance for all in such glorious conditions.

    Today feels like a nothing game. We don't have to win, we just have to beat Geelong to finish 2nd or even top if port goes down the the Dogs. . 

     

    doesn't seem to be on ch7 in melb

    anyone have any more info (other than fox/kayo)? 

    If Joel Smith leaks less than 3 goals, that’s a win. I hope he makes me eat my hat.

    Seven are doing the later game. 

    No worries about giving Maysie a rest. I'm actually surprised a few other guys weren't "managed".....particularly a couple of the younger guys.

    cant see Crows scoring much without walker.

    Probably be good for the younger guys to get a good run at the ‘G.

    As long as it is just a well earnt rest and nothing more serious because no doubt that without May we cannot win a flag. 

    No May and no Tmac. Definitely not confident. 


    Good call resting May. We have Cats and first final coming up over a 7-8 day period and he’ll be cherry ripe

    The over confidence of some on here who just never learn brings on my MFCSS severely.

    We have seen over and over this season if you are off your game, you can get rolled easily.

    I will take a one point win as long as we don’t cop any injuries. 
    Starting to cop a few and it’s a real worry. 

    Could be a bit in and out of this game at the start, a friend had a bad accident at work last week and ended up in hospital. We're finally allowed to talk with him on the phone so game on in the background and thread open :)

    Don’t understand why Weid didn’t get a run. Right weather and down a couple of key position players.

    Other than 'yuk', this has a touch of Shakespeare about it

    Think his papers are stamped unfortunately for him.

    Comments by supporters on a website have absolutely no bearing on how the team performs.

    Which is the main thing.
    More important than anything we need to go in with a fit list.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
