    Anyone else beginning to make random non-verbal vocalisations around the house?

    For example; "I should [urp] some food now so there is [heeeek] no distractions during the [phrrr-cic] game."

    Hoping for it to rain with Demon goals, but will happily accept a one point plus margin. 
    No bye until after prelim, makes it a huge benefit to win tonight.

    Go Demons & kick straight!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm faarken nervous. Never had so many mates call, txt and wish me luck.

    I’m quite relaxed, it’s just a game of football at the end of the day.

    Also, if things go badly just make your feelings heard in this thread, it feels great.

    MFC membership/marketing whomever is usually in charge of this stuff absolutely nail it these days. Left in no doubt the importance of the members and supporters.

    I hate that there's a bye after prelim. That could mean three games in 5 weeks. I rather have momentum going into gf if that's where we end up. On tonight's game. Bris play a lot like dogs with a bit better backline. Must win clearances and keep them away from the corridor

    Yeah, hate anyone who drops to their knees or ducks into tackles... Unless its Spargo, then it's just 'crafty' and he 'played it well'...

    This Spargo is a ducker theme is getting way out of hand. It's like a "jump on the bus now" response or otherwise you'll get left behind.

    Not sure where the latent dislike for Charlie stems from.

    Reminds me of the numerous posts that said he couldn't kick over 35 metres. Watch his highlights and reconsider.

    We’re red hot favourites no matter how you look at it.

     


    Feel sick in the guts. 

    Won't be posting on here until probably after the game.

    I love you all, Go Dees!

    Some guy just offered clarry $100 bucks if he kicked a goal from the boundary in the warm up.  He shanked it.  Next kick straight through the middle.  
     

    Rain has stopped for now, let’s go boys

    Win tonight and we face Cats or Giants in Prelim. 

    Now either of those would also make me sick in the guts.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
