Lever out (if happens) evens up the odds imv. Big out. As long as he and maysie marshalling the defence I was confident. Now I’m not so sure.

go dees

 

Welcome to the G as defending champions! Can't wait to see you all. Can't wait for that flag unfurl! Should be huge

    Tomlinson was having a kick on the ground before. 

    He’s warming out. Can’t see Lever

    Bedford also warming up. Could be the medical sub.

    In the ground, whoever said 10000 dogs supporters and the rest Melbourne might not be far off the mark.

    Yep just came out with Lingers & Gus. 

    Only about half the squad out at the moment

    What's the injury cloud?  Are we going to risk him for round 1?

     

    Just spotted a doggies guernsey. Very few about

    Wouldn't it be great if instead of Hells Bells before the song as the boys come out, they swapped it with Freed from Desire.

    Get in their faces.

    Sorry if it’s been pointed out already but it’s been Enter Sandman for 2 years now! 
     

    Gets me absolutely pumped and wish they’d play the whole tune instead of Grand old flag after the run thru the banner! Leave that for after the game!

    Not sure if I have missed it in 2021 - I am loving having the indigenous names of the locations of where the grounds are in the AFL Round by Round guide. Bout time.

    Still prefer Hells Bells.

    Prediction: Sparrow to show signs of becoming our 4th horseman to join Petracca, Oliver and Viney.

    Lever confirmed out 

    Hella bells

    How good is it seeing people walking around wearing premiership tops, hats & scarves with our logo plastered across it. 


    Did they say why Lever is out? 

    Fireworks is also out. Big losses all around.

    Lever out is big. Reckon it’ll be a super close game and not confident. Dogs will be all fired up after the humiliation of the GF. Here’s hoping our boys aren’t lacking motivation!

     

    Remember the few times many many years ago when Schwab I'm sure it was came up with the idea to raise the flag after very few of our wins & it was just dumb.

    How good is it to see a real flag unveiled. One that says premiers

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
