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!

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
