Excited to have BBB and Weid in the same forward line - could be the dawn of a very destructive duo if aggressive Weid comes to play.

Interested to see what Dunstan can do and looking forward to seeing sparrow in the middle for a whole game.

    Really looking forward to this game.

    Im tipping a 40 point win going away in the last as that seems to be our style.

    Great to be on prime-time again.

    Go Us!!

    I reckon this will be a close one - for about 15 minutes.

    It's pretty good to be our shoes at the moment. Two of the best defenders going around are out of  our side yet we can bring in quality like Petty and Smith and still have Tommo waiting for a shot. I can't see geriatric Jack doing much damage and Lynch is a frontrunner.

    Without their main man Dusty they lack both fire power and muscle.

    Really keen to watch Dunstan in the middle and also Sparrow with extra responsibility.

    Hope Weid and BBB don't run into each other but I reckon Kozzie will thrive on the big stage and  clean up.

    In a moment of rare generosity I've given The Manor's domestic staff the weekend off! I even shouted them a camping site (non powered) in the hills.

    I imagine they've well and truly pitched their tents by now!

    The Tigs will be fired up for this one, but I just don’t see the firepower in their arsenal.  I expect them to match us early, but when we pull the trigger for our 3rd quarter onslaught, the battle will be over in the blink of an eye. Dees by around 6 goals.

    Missed this game last year, which was a ripper, and cannot wait to head in for ceremony & spectacle.

    Hoping to see a huge crowd but the town seems strangely vacated again, like last weekend. 

    Figure Dunstan shouldn't be too out of his depth given Tiggers faultering midfield.

    Get along if you're able 'landers & go us.

    Really like reading Gameday thread when we are premiers and the side others aspire to be,

    the positive vibes are good to feel.

    we will lose unexpectedly but not tonight. The game will be hard therefor we expect to have to play to win.

    we should power away after the main break, Go Dees.  B2B in 22

    We go in favourite, and rightly so, but the Tiges are very well coached and their smaller players are in great form. It is their ageing stars that are letting them down, and I think they might struggle to score. I am hoping to see Langdon, Jordon, Hunt and Brayshaw tear them apart with gut running and relentless transition footy. And like many others, I have been waiting for an extended stint of seeing Weid and BB play together. 

    For me, into the train with 3 family members at 3.30pm and down to the game I go. Could be a late-ish night home - approx 12.30am - but worth it in anticipation of a great win.

    Since this one is an away game, will the cheer squad be at the ponsford stand end or the regular spot in the Warne stand?

    Such generosity is unheard of in Romsey, Uncle, I'm sure other townfolk and peasantry must look up in Awe and Envy of the Benevolence of the Master of the Manor.

    Shout-out to Hunty today playing his 100th game. He's been one of my favourites outside the plethora of stars we have in our side. He always takes the game on and plays with courage and dare. Let's hope we can get the win for you today mate. Congrats!

    I think it will be a pretty close game today and the Tigers will be up for the fight but we will prevail by 3-5 goals

    Ambition - day was planned, pub lunch with a couple of other Dees, arvo ferry from Portarlington staying in town overnight, dining room dinner on 2nd level AFL Members area, celebrate the night after watching the Dees, back on ferry in morning with probable hangover

    Reality - came down with Covid 2 days ago, will spend the day coughing and sneezing while watching the game instead !!

    Go Dees

    Our system is water tight. I expect Smith and Dunstan to slot in seamlessly

    The only Tiges player that concerns me is Shai Bolton. He's a gun. Overall though we have the better players

    Looking forward to a big crowd and a few celebratory beers on swan St post game

    Dees by 25 points

    Forward marking will be the key along with accuracy.

    If we limit their marking in the forward 50 and take a few ourselves... game over.

    Expecting a heavy defensive press from the Tigers

    A Hawthorn supporting workmate said “you’ll be going down to Launceston this weekend Marty”

    ”No and Why” I said.

    ”To watch the greatest team of our generation play of course”

    ”I’ve already seen them live once this year” I replied 

    “When did you see them?”

    ”1st game of the season at the G” I waited for the raucous laughter and retorts, but only got

    ”I see what your doing” then he changed the subject 

    What a time to be a Dees supporter. A lazy 30 point victory today and the tigers kept below 70 points from the greatest defence of any generation!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
