I think Benny Brown might cement himself in Demon folklore with a 4-5 goal day out.

 

I reckon this also.

 

Either Harmes for smothering Bailey Smith or Viney for negating Libba

Trent Rivers to keep Weightman to zero free kicks.

The umpiring during our prelim was pretty good, I can only hope that this continues. The umpires should be well aware of this as well as their 10 metres kicks.

 

I'm going to wake up the street with my singing if we get this done.

Tom McDonald. all the focus will be on Brown, Fritsch, Kozzie and Gawn/Jackson. Tmac is going to get a lesser opponent, and i see him having 25 and kicking 2-3 goals 


Warning - I'm about to come across as a curmudgeonly old fool.

I like everything about this thread except the use of the word "hero". A hero is someone who fights in a war, rescues a baby from a burning home or puts themselves at risk of catching a disease by assisting others who are sick. Footballers are not heroes for being footballers.

Now, having got that off my chest, I'd like to nominate Harmes as the "unsung" player who will do something extraordinary on Grand Final Day.  Whether it's a Heath Shaw rundown smother or a Dom Sheed kick for goal, Harmes strikes me as the player who best typifies the player who can pull something special out of the bag when it's most needed.

Petty for mine. I think he takes and flogs naughton, allowing may and Lever to intercept everything keeping the dogs to under 60 points.

Good call, that would pretty much swing the game.

Can't think of any other single contest which could make so much difference compared to the pre-game assumptions and ratings, and Petty has it in him.

Another might be Ed Langdon controlling the ice-boy and winning a few counter-attacks. Dominating there would realistically stall two opposition goals and create two for us and we'd really be cooking.

Kozzie Pickett could absolutely light up the big stage as well. 

It's hard to imagine a way Petracca doesn't lift in a grand final. he could win the Norm Smith by a mile

Would love for Brown to kick a bag.

Kicking a bag in a granny is a tall order for anyone 

But yeah, that would be nice

It is but I think with our ball movement our forwards can expose their defence and some of our fwds could have a day out. 


Christian Petracca - by a mile. Will bag 6 goals, rip the Doggies'midfielders apart on his way to perfect deliveries by foot to other Demons' forward leads, give the Buntempiliac a 'don't argue' that takes him off the ground, steam-rolls Johanneson into a blob of chewing gum stuck to the turf until taken off, and pairs with Oliver for an unstoppable midfield display. As an extra, he will even the score with a Footiskry back who punches Gawn in the back of the head for the fourth time/no penalty .

Me, if I survive the entire game…

I reckon all the supporters who have made it this far.

As an aside I was nervous last week but less so now as i really feel we have got the monkey off our back this year and i feel the whole team will do their jobs,.

I feel the same way.

Fritta to kick six. 


Definitely us Melbourne supporters who get through the whole day without dying or killing anyone. 

I am thinking one of Alex, Trent, Harrison, Michael, Charlie, Sparrow orJJ imagine if they all come to the party.😀💙❤️

Jack Viney looks primed and ready to deliver on two generations of desire to win this game, and his brand of hard, hard pressure and body work should fear no repercussions on GF day.

Shall hunt and hurt Libba and pop up for three clutch goals from contested ball in forward line... plus digging it out to Trac and Oliver to run riot.

Burgess has been fantastic, but superior fitness doesn't stop players copping injuries.

We've been very lucky this year.  May it continue for at least another week.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
