I swear the world is conspiring to kill me before I get a chance to watch Melbourne win a flag. 
Let me live goddamit!

 

Felt it up here in Canberra.

Hearing reports it just opened up the gates of hell.

Fitting it was under Mt Buller.

The demons and fallen angels are arriving for the big game at the G.

 

Someone else can tell them...

Reports of Mt Buller being near the epicentre: confirmation of the Norm Smith Curse lifting hypothesis?

I'd have thought wearing black balaclavas would be fronwed upon in your line of work.

I've got this really bad feeling I'm going to wake up on grand final today and it's going to be like the Twilight Zone where there is no-one around and the Earth has stood still..

Yes but do I still get to watch us win a flag? 

 

Gerard Whately talking with Mike Sheehan about the World of Sport Tony Charlton interview with Norm Smith. Playing the clip now. Viewable on Youtube.

No omens.  Just Demons.  This group looks from the media that they are focused, gracious and understand its the team aspects that will get the job done.  This bodes as the omen that I see - not ahead of themselves, not focusing on a messiah, but ready to go and do a job.  In with a good chance, I reckon.

Beveridge is such a good coach...they are going to put a lot of work into Gawn, Lever, Petracca and maybe Salem. It's going to be hard for those guys to have huge games. We need our big guns to compete and contribute and we're going to need big games from the others to get this done. Plus they all must apply massive pressure to the Dogs so they can't do the things they want to do either, which is prerequisite number 1.

If you listen to CLarkson and Hardwick discussing tactics for the weekend they say that you can't really tag players anymore. Maybe one but if you do that you upset your team plan and the way you play.

Teams just don't play one on one any more so you might be able to nullify Trac or Oliver or Gawn or May or Lever or Fritsch or Salem but not all of them and probably not more than two of them.

I don't think the Bulldogs will tag anyone maybe Schache minding Lever will probably do. Harmes will do a loose tag at stoppages on Liberatore and that's about it everyone else will roam free.

Yeah agree with that mostly. I think more than tagging though...they are going to be very physical with Gawn and Lever. I expect them to be getting pushed and shoved and niggled constantly through the match, particularly when the ball is dead. We will need to overcome this kind of stuff, which will be best done by giving the Dogs a level of physical pressure they have never seen before when the ball is alive.

I think this is where the game will be one and lost. The mids are going to be a tough battle across both sides. The difference in round 19 (apart from biased dogs umpires) was Daniel was allowed to be free and had 34 possessions to setup play going forward.  He must be stopped and negated. 


Hope the umpires are reading this can-t-allow-him-a-free-run-dogs-weigh-physical-approach-to-curb-gawn

“I am sure it [getting physical] is an option. It is not something we have spoken about … but I am sure teams have tried lots of different things on him in the past to try and curb his influence, and being physical is, obviously, one of those,” Hunter said.

That is probably why Martin is in the team.

They are copying Port round 1 2018. The difference is Max will be ready and this time teammates will have his back.

At worst Max takes a few for the team while others get free.

We definitely need to be prepared for the Bulldogs to try the physical stuff. It's been a tactic of theirs for years, and until very recently a weakness of ours.

May, Viney etc need to be at their best, and annihilate the first Bulldog who tries to take Max out illegally. 

What's the latest on May's hammy?

I want to win at any cost and I don’t care if players are suspended next year. This could be our only chance for another few decades, so we need to win no matter what.

If they go after Max or anyone else physically, then we go after them when the opportunity is there. If Viney has a chance to tackle someone big, then I want them buried halfway to China and stretchered off the ground.

No one but us bitter Demons supporters remember Essendon as thugs in 2000. They are remembered as winners, big winners. It’s our turn to be winners, whatever the cost. Bury them Dees.

What Schwarz did sickened me. He done nothing, he should of rag dolled Long when he knocked out Simmonds never got touched and don't get me started on that thug Wallis it's criminal what he did.

I think Fritsch is in for a big game he will probably get Wood who usually plays very loose. He caused them heaps of problems in our win against them and I think he will do it again. T.Mac will have a huge game. Cordy isn't a footballers bootlace. Tommy will smash him and last of all Neal-Bullen and Spargo must stop Daniel and Dale from distributing the ball from half back.

He might not be the only one getting wood on Saturday night…🤓

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
