We have a few family members using our barcodes tonight ..they have bought demon gear & are firmly on the Dees. They come from different parts of Perth and all say that support for Melb is huge. They love the players..Trac ..Oliver..Gawn & of course the WA boys. I was at that stadium in 2018 & the noise has to be heard to be believed. Imagine if our boys are running out to that & it’s for them. If we have the crowd..we have the umpires …but believe the boys have got this tonight & comfortably…

    in case we lose and everyone returns to hating each other… let me just say i love you all. passionate, disagreeable and argumentative as some of u may be , you’re all part of my dee heart. It’s been a hard road to travel as a supporter and this morning I can feel how much we’re all in it together. 

    Allow me to add to this… if the worst should happen tonight, please, please don’t be too hard on our boys. Just remember what May said to Maxy just before he kicked that goal after the siren. 

    “We’ve got your back. No matter what happens, we still love you”

    And if it’s good enough for Maysie it’s good enough for me!

     

    More nervous than a small nun at a penguin shoot.

    Also so excited, let's gooooooooo!!!!

    Productivity absolutely smashed today...it has resulted in making lame memes. 

    I have nothing of value to add to this thread other than my expressions of nervous trepidation...

    Go Dees.

    But more than anything, as a club, from the coach to the fans, you are supremely arrogant, like no other club I've ever seen. 

    West Coast are a close second

    Gees Louise, feeling nervous AF this morning.

    I wish 5.50pm would hurry up and get here already.

    I normally very much look forward to Dees games. But tonight ends either in despair or a continuation of nervousness and anxiety for a whole fortnight.

    I think that number five is a pretty good player for us. 13 also shows some promise. And that little fellow who rests in the forward pocket played well last time. And of course that big number 11 . . . what a forward. 

    Edna is baking the scones this morning, I'll take Miffy, our toy poodle, around the block at lunchtime, and have my afternoon nap. I like a nice sherry with water at 5 o clock and I usually chat with a few of the old chaps from the firm on Friday afternoon. Edna and I usual go to bed at half time on Friday nights, but tonight we'll wait until three quarter time I think.

    Go Fuchsias.

    Have disliked Scofield intensely since he dropped Oliver with an 'elbow upper cut' at a break, was reported, appealed and got off.  Media claimed Oliver took a dive.  

    I find that article extremely unpleasant and tbh disrespectful.  We were naive on and off the field but what is the point to be dredging that stuff up now.   Chest beating, ra ra by yesterday's heroes. 

    He is a total peanut. 

    As noted by someone else he was a commentator for our AFLW game against freo this year. He made Brian Taylor and Darcy look like Denis Commeti and Bruce in his prime.

    God awful and so ridiculously pro dockers.

    And IIRC correctly, he was also bemoaning a dangerous tackle that was paid against them on the grounds that game was getting soft and 'its not netball'. He's a dinosaur. 

    On the article, i'm not sure what his point is. Well other than the fact he thinks we will carry mental scars into tonight's game. 

    Let's say he is right. What impact is he suggesting those mental scars will have? 

    Because he makes the point that they carried the scars of the 2015 GF loss into subsequent games at the G.

    Sure, fine. But surely the mental scars are only relevant for the next Grand Final they played (ie it is the game not the ground).   

    And they took their very next opportunity to overcome that scarring by winning the 2018 GF.

    We have played at Optus Oval since the prelim and only 6 weeks ago beat the Eagles at that very venue. So Optus Oval holds no fears.

    And if we follow the Eagle's pattern we will overcome any prelim related scarring in our first opportunity to do so - tonight.

    I assume Jones already knows if he's going to be the sub tonight. 

    I really hope the umps dont get too involved tonight and give the cats their usual helping hand.

    Feeling oddly relaxed today ,going for the jab this morning @10 so that may change at about 9.55

    Always tough getting a jab, remember - you may feel a little [censored], so ask your doctor to keep his pants on

    The cats are a decent team that like port appear better than they are due to the number of wins they get from a very bias home ground advantage. 

    They are also a team with suspect staying power. A good start by us will see us home.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
