What do you say in the huddle three mins before the bounce.?

Just do what we've been doing all year.   That's it.

    "Boys, I love youse. You love each other. You've prepared the whole season, since you arrived at the club, and for most of you, all your lives. You have all the skills and ability to win this today. They'll come at you, but we have the poise and importantly, the game style that's going to stand up today. No one got us this season. Our record against the top teams speaks for itself. We know we dropped the ball in round 19 against this mob. But we've been through that tape together and we've been working to rectify some of the small errors that cost us that day. You all know what I'm talking about. Our training has been brilliant and our game style is burnt into your brains. If you do the first thing that comes into your brain today, particularly in the first 15 minutes, you'll be right. The game will settle after that and it'll be just another tough game against an opponent who we know we can beat and beat well. Don't worry about the umpiring, careful with your man-on-man work . . . no 50 metre penalties today. Run straight at the ball when it's your turn and hold your positional structures when the ball is being controlled. You know how to do that better than any team ever to play this game. We all know it works and you are the best exponents in the comp. You're reinventing how the game is played. Today is just the icing on the cake. I absolutely know you can pull this off today, you know what's got to be done better than me. I'll be on the boundary, riding every bump, tackle, handball, kick and goal with you. I'm proud of everyone of you. Let's go and hunt these bast^&ds Boys."

    I’m nervous as hell because it’s out of my control.

    I’ve always held the attitude that if I was in any big game I’d use confidence as my energy, as opposed to nervous energy. Go out there and pull the trigger, cos even if you [censored] up you had taken the game on and not left with any what if questions.

    If you lose, you’d do so not playing within yourself (like Port in the PF). That way you can come off at the end of the game with no regrets and knowing you gave it your all and left nothing in the tank. And what will be will be.

    Play like DEMONS.

    Nervous as [censored], but I’ve been dreaming of getting back to this day since 2000. 21 years is a long time, 57………………well.

    Time to reset the clock back to 0.

    • 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.
