Well! It's Grand Final Hump Day!

In the spirit of our times, then, everyone,

RUOK?

And what will this week hold for you that last week didn't? For mine, I've found I've become progressively more relaxed and am becoming open again to other things in life and the world (though gnot all good!) And the GF is feeling more like a dream and less like a reality.

But, now,

'ALL CHANGE!'

For those who've attended a GF before - how long after the siren would you arrange your pickup/transport home? One of our party will be in wheelchair so we'll be using a charter vehicle (can't take the train) and trying to work out how much time to allow after the siren for the formalities and whatever it is they do afterwards.

Thanks!

Just checking you have got the right forum - this is is Melbourne Football Club, we aren’t very familiar with GF’s…

Yes I know this is the right forum because there are plenty of people packing themselves about next Saturday. Hoping, believing we can win but also nervous because we are the MFC after all. 
 

Anyway, I thought some of you might have been to a GF in Melbourne when some ogre teams played and might have some advice. 😀

Whilst getting a coffee this week I scanned the QR code. The guy I was with said "are you sure you want to do that?"... And thus we are still in the situation we are in... 🤦‍♂️

 

Anyone on here crossed th Gibb River Road? 

I watched the Prelim on a satellite TV at Manning Gorge. The following morning this was on a sign outside the Mt Barnett Roadhouse. ( For those that don't know -This is just about as far as you can get in Australia from the MCG!!) 

Had our fist post Gibb week doing horizontal falls, derby cape Leveque and now in cable beach/Broome for some serious R&R while waiting to fly down to Perth for the GF

Half your luck. Done the GRR 3 times. Outstanding party of the world. 

At the bottom was WB line-up for Prelim (vs PA), sorry for the inconvenience. The highlighted 9 players are lefties. Lefty key forward 17 Josh Bruce wasn't there because of the injury. Interchange 13 Schache is a full forward, 37 Roarke Smith is a mid/def. Check out each one of the 9 lefties' on field position. It's well known Clarkson loves lefties, Beveridge once was his assistant coach 2012--2014 (Clarkson's three-peat 2013--2015). You might like to read this article "Foot fetish that won Hawks a flag" (sorry, I failed to add the link on). It said: "If you compared all the left-footers and all the right-footers in the competition, the average kicking efficiency of left-footers was over 3 percent better."......”Coming out of defence, the Hawks almost always exited stage left.”......“Attacks were mounted from there, with Melbourne often helpless to stop the precise kicking.”
Back to WB, among the 9 lefties, 7 of them are mainly attack-lefties, playing as a mid or a forward. In my view, the best way for them to launch an attack is through their left side, to get more lefties involved in a play better - which they did just like that in Prelim. I believe their lefties’ line-up for Granny will be very similar to the one displayed at the bottom. From each game’s line-up, 15 Duryea has played 24 games out of 25 this year so far, 6 games as an IC, 16 games on right side, only 2 games on left side--Rd 9 and Prelim (both vs PA). 29 Hannan has played 16 games out of 25, 4 games as an IC, 8 games on right side, one game in central, 3 games on left side--Rd7 vs Richmond; Rd19 vs Melb (he actually played on right side that night) and Prelim vs PA. What I like to say is had they used the line-up for the Prelim against us in Rd11 and Rd19, we would have had much more headaches. If you watch the replay of those 3 games--their Prelim, Rd11 and 19 against us--you could see the difference, they launched much more attacks through their left side in Prelim with good results. AFL website/Match offers the replay videos. 
In Rd19, a WB’s goal at 3ndQt 7:30 (replay time, not Ch7’s remaining time on screen) and another WB’s goal at 4thQt 17:59--showed you how hard it is to defend a gang of lefties in front of your goal square. The 1st one was through 33-21-29-38(a righty)-33-17, the 2nd one was through 11-21-4. 4 or 5 lefties like Viney or Kozzie type might have been able to stop that chain of play. Lefties know other lefties' tricks better. At 3ndQt 29:57 and 4thQt 9:50, Viney showed us how good a lefty he is, marvelous! Is kozzie a lefty or righty, does the answer even matter? have them in our team, just give you a wonderful feeling.

Go Viney, go Kozzie, go the mighty Dees!

If anyone wants to watch all the hitouts so far from 2021 between the two teams:

Great package. A massive reminder of how poorly our mids played in the rd19 game. Really fumbly in the wet. Too man little flick handballs. We won’t do that this week. Surprised to see how many stoppages ANB attended in that game too.


Are we there yet?

This 2 week wait is BS.
Why are we doing it again?

The ch9 Footy Show just interviewed Glenn Jackovich, Allen will be attending the grand final as a Dees tragic. 

All those lucky enough to attend, please be on Jacko watch!!

Felt a bit crook yesterday. The doctor told me one of the thing I need to do is cut down on stress. Now that’s an impossibility

I left the 88 GF in the third quarter. I can't quite remember whether I left the 2000 GF before the end. I was with my son (he was 7) so I probably stayed to the (bitter) end.

  • 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.
