With the outs I'm not super confident at all.

 

It's all about system, if we get that right we shut down the Doges and win.

 

But with a bunch of new back six players trying to gel with that system, we might leak more goals that any of us would like.

 

Hopefully the mids and forward line fire!

Did they say why Lever is out? 

Fireworks is also out. Big losses all around. 

Why were there fireworks in the 1st place. Not fussed by that. Hopefully the little leaguers get a crack

 

No Lever, Hibbo, Rivers or Petty. 4 of our starting defensive 6 last year. Not good.

Will be up to our midfield whether we win or lose this one.

The Basking is over damn it!   This has all come around very quickly.  Can we delay the start of the season for another few months?


OUT: Stefan Martin, Lachie Hunter (Sub) IN: Hayden Crozier, Ryan Gardner

    And there's just been an announcement that the half-time fireworks and lights show has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

    Might as well call the season off.

    uh oh

     

    End of the day this will be won in the guts 

    Defence is shaky but if our team Defence is on and we win contested possession we will win

    Backline in all sorts.

    Think we are in trouble before game has even started..

    Martin out to me suggests dogs have conceded the ruck battle already 

    max needs to push back hard to help defence

    Ok well at least English will spend less time forward with Martin out.

    English can certainly take a contested mark up fwd and is a nice kick for goal.

    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

    Still feel embarrassment thinking about those hideous blazers he had the players wearing.

    Lever apparently has a foot injury. Hope it's not to serious.

    Gee I just want start well & kick straight & bank the points

    Anything to be read into Smith spending a lot of his warm up time taking shots at goal from all angles?

    🤔

    What's all this about the Dogs and dropping Hunter?

    Foot = disaster 

    With 4 backmen out, any sort of win will do

    One point does it


    I would love to hear that crappy song that the dogs hate us singing playing over the loud speaker while the dogs are doing their warm-up on the ground

    Lever being out has definitely dented my confidence, that said Lever didn’t have an insanely good game in the GF. Like always, win from the middle and starve the dogs of chances. 

     

    Defensive depth will be well and truly tested tonight. Big ask to cover all of lever, petty, rivers and Hibbo .

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
