Talk about backs against the wall - the Dogs will have all the ammunition being in quarantine up until the day. 

Not that anyone needs much motivation for a GF.

 

Well that didn't take long. Kane Cornes has declared the Dogs will win the GF after they embarrassed that rabble team of his, Port.  I'm sure, he has been on us all year right up until now.

Personally I find that reassuring.

I know that 57 years comes with a weight of expectation, but enjoy it Demonlanders. It’s great to be in a position to win a premiership, great to be in the spotlight, great to be relevant. If we win, we deserve it. If we lose, it will be to a better side on the day. 

Yup SPC. Had to remind myself today as well that ours isn't a flash-in-the-pan team either. No matter how our last grand final outings felt, this MFC squad is right in its prime and built to contend for a number of years. Should we be beaten by a better team on the day, it won't be the end of the story. It may sound like softening any potential blow in advance, but until Gawn, May and Brown start fading we're not going to go backwards.

This is just the start of our window. I feel quite serene about any outcome, as if my hard work as a supporter over the past however many years during our darkest of times has already been done. I might even 'retire' once Oliver and Trac are done - can't remotely stomach the thought of going through our next rebuild - and hopefully we snag a few flags before then. That said, I hope our older, potentially fading members get a chance at glory this year. 

We deserve to be favourites. Our finals form us very good. Most of our team is in terrific form and no injuries. 

The dogs defence is average. Ours is excellent and I think that’ll win the game for us. Bring our usual intensity and we should break even in the middle

Is that the same Kane Cornes who was saying that he thought Port’s small forwards could be the difference if they met in the GF?

It harks all the way back to Roosy's philosophy... defence wins premierships.

All hail the great man.

How many times do you think we'll hear about this in the next 2 Weeks?

 

They can use the same violin and that Scott uses when he craps on about Geelong. 

 

Jack Viney has played 149 games of AFL Football thus far, we have our own internal drivers for motivation. The dogs are only Favourites because we played first

Jack’s 150’th

Dogs will properly use Stefan Martin to tag Gawn.  They'll use Schache as a defensive forward on Lever.  

That wont work. Did you see Martin last night? He's cooked.

He'll compete in the ruck, but I don't think he is any chance of keeping up with Gawn or Jackson around the ground.

It's an area we can, and need to, exploit.

Gawn will dominate Martin and with Viney back in form, added to Petracca & Oliver our midfield will more than match it with the Dogs.

They've got the chance.
Now they've gotta take it.
 And they'll do it with both hands.
It'll be the best team in the competition unleashing all the weapons.
And we've got plenty.

Gawn to dominate full stop. Just watching Max again just seems rejuvenated, running goals marking everything but the thing that got me was the closing speed on the Rohan tackle. he's just motoring. Won't be able to counter him.

Stefan looked very slow last night and I think Jackson has it all over English so I don't think the rucks will be a worry. It is getting it out of the centre bounce which concerns me. Why don't we tag the taggers for the first 5-10 minutes or what I really liked was starting Kossie in there.

Poor form. 

 

She just made the nightly news. Pathetic.

We can analyse the forward and backline matches up until the cows come home, but IMO it all pales in comparison to two things:

  1. the battle for CPs, clearances and ground ball gets; and
  2. goal kicking accuracy.

If they dominate us in CPs, clearances and ground ball gets, we'll be in trouble. Conversely, if we take that part of their game away from them (whether we dominate or we just break even), that does heaps for us - their game stems from those areas and if they don't control them, they don't set up as well.

Goal kicking accuracy is the other big one. We had our chances in Round 19 but kicked 9.11 to their 13.7. If we get chances early, we have to take them. We've already lost games this year due to poor kicking, I don't want to lose the biggest one of all of our lives.

Melb vs top 8 sides (incl, finals): 10-2

Dogs vs top 8 sides (incl. finals): 7-5

Port vs top 8 sides (incl. finals): 5-5

We’re a different kettle of fish.

Always knew port would lose, they only won 1 game against a top 4 side, when that side was in the top 4, how a team players in the home and away season is they way they play in finals,

Stat wise it was very even that second game. If memory serves me right we got murdered by the umps and d50 stoppages and inaccuracy in front. update: 11 - 25 free kick count. 2-10 last Quarter.

Just watche dgame again.

Umps killed us 19-6 at 3/4 time. Some howlers they scored direct goals.

We missed at least 5 goals. Kicked 9 g 11b Fritsch and Brown were main offenders

Got cleaned up in the stoppages 31-27. They got several fwd stoppage goals

Got back to within 4 points in the last despite the free kick count killing us in the last. The kicked the last 3.

It was pouring with rain in the 1st qtr and we missed our chances, That break was essentially the game.

Keith went off with a hammy in the first.

Schache tagged lever. Daniel was left alone 'out the back' - cannot do that again. Langdon played on JJ, Brayshaw on Hunter

They used a lot of short kicks to break through our defence. Los of throws and dropped balls. They had often 2 extras at the stoppages

They don't scare me at all. But we need to play the game on our terms and pressure them reentlessly

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
