1.10 is worse then right on Mothers day Lunches

I could think of nothing better to do on mothers than go to the G and watch this one unfold.  

 

I'm not a mother though so what would I know

    We’ve beaten this mob once at the MCG since the 2006 elimination final.

    Saints on an 8 day break should have recovered from their Cairns trip.

    Really hoping we can bank this win as we have some tough fixtures between rounds 11 and 15. Would love to be 10-0 before we face Sydney and Freo at the G.

    We can afford to lose 4 games this year IMO in order to finish top 2. Would rather not use one up today.

    Would you happen to have the breakdown of many times we’ve played them at the G since then? We rolled them last year but that was at Marvel.

    Yeah, we don’t do Mother’s Day at mine. 
    Apparently we do game day…

    Now to work out whose work this is: the hipster uni student or the bedroom-dwelling, PS5-playing teenager. 🤔 

    LOL found these in the bottom of the wrapping. They know I lose/break earbuds on a weekly basis.

    Added a pic of what was almost thrown out with the wrapping paper. 😬

     

    This haven't been tested B/S. The doggies threw everything at us and come up short. As did the Suns Hawk and Tigers. Port is the only team that rolled over.

    Bit too much taking in the media puffing up the Saints. We win this by 27 points.

    They just want a bit of excitement. "Best team wins again" is dull compared to "so-called best team is vulnerable" or "pretenders toppled from top of ladder."

    Wayward Saints seeking salvation. Last seen sliding for a slither of soap in slippery northern slimes. 

    Scraping like seagulls in a slather for seemingly senseless seconds searching for a slim score.

    Media mogul machinations on Mother’s Day may mirror minor minds.

    Determined Demons dastardly dash delusions of disorientated  delinquent delight.

    Saints or sinners saved for slaughter by the last quarter.

    I was more talking about posters in here believing it.

    I don’t have the breakdown handy but I believe St Kilda have won 8 of our last 9 meetings at the G.

    Nervous as all hell.

    (I hated mothers day; something always came 'unstuck' and then it was on....)

    Hope Tom has a great 200th game. Not that you'd know with little fanfare about it.

    But hope we have a good win & we carry him off

    Mothers Day is just the creation of Hallmark and retailers. Surely every day should be considered Mothers Day.

    Expecting to win well.

    At some point we drop a few games during the season.

    Still when look at quality across ground 

    Backs - May Lever Petty Brayshaw Bowey

    Mids - Max Trac Clarry Langdon 

    Forwards - Fritsch Brown

    Running power - ANB Kossie Spargo Sparrow Hunt

    Add system and we look very hard to beat!

    Go Demons!

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      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.
