We will murder the filth on Monday.

i thought the match up was tough already (for similar reasons to why we lost last year), and wish I shared your confidence. Maybe MFCSS is slowly creeping in (cue Powderfinger!), but I am already getting mentally ready for a 2 week self-imposed ban from listening to SEN and RSN and watching any footy shows.

    I think the fans probably need a win more than the club does. Would make for a much more comfortable bye week if we were back on the winner's list

    Ginnivan is the perfect target.

    There you go, Hibbo, target No.1

    Perfect time to smash in hard and show the footy world what we can do at our best again - I think many have already forgotten how devastating our best football is

    Agreed.

    People need to get their heads around the fact that it's not 2021 anymore.

    Apparently our defensive pressure which was the hall mark of last year has gone from elite to mid table or worse. 

    I saw somewhere we are 17th for pressure.


    Yikes.

    Do they have a young player we can attack, as they did to Jack Watts all those years ago? 

    Maybe a Daicos, or Henry?

    Its about time we flogged someone.

    The goings on this week have left me cranky.

    Once more, unto the breach dear friends.....

    One of the greatest movie versions ever made of any Shakespeare play is Laurence Olivier's "Henry V". As the battle of Agincourt begins, there are three riders, which becomes five riders which becomes nine riders and eventually hundreds. All shot in one scene. We need our team to play like that on Monday. We need to overwhelm the opposition in numbers.

    The intensity we need to bring should be comparable to what we delivered in the PF & GF games. Nothing less. We have a week to recover so nothing short of sustained pressure over 4Q is a pass, especially given the slander and negative press the club has been exposed to.

    If we can bring that, then i would agree with the OP. 

    However, do not underestimate the intensity the Pies will bring. They will be playing high on confidence, they will be expecting a response so they will be ready. Challenge is to blow them out of the water early and put them on the back foot and questioning themselves. First quarter will decide the game.

    This may be by design. We do have 10 wins banked without burning energy applying manic pressure.

    If we lose I get 10 days to avoid pie fans. I think the pies play G better than us.

    What a week! The players appear to be galvanising, so should we as supporters, I’m going to back them by turning up this Monday.

    Let’s not forget who we are up against, it is our (or at the very least my) arch enemies.

    Don’t care if we have injuries, suspensions or are loading- I want Collingwood but in particular their feral supporters and that little frosby flopping, free kick seeking piece of peroxided excrement, Ginnivan to suffer a humiliating defeat (whether it be by one point or 10 goals I don’t care), just so long as it cuts to the bone.

    You can’t experience this type of pleasure by watching it on TV or Kayo, you got to be there!

    GO DEES!!

    Top post and thread in general.

    If anyone wants anymore GEEing up for the game, watch the clip on the club's website of Daniel Turner being announced as playing on Monday, done at training this morning.

    Priceless, including the effort by Jake Lever in the announcement, and especailly look around at the smiling faces of team mates.

    Fascinating

    That's always the problem playing Collingwood..would you prefer to win by 1 or 100. 1 is almost better.

    My 7 and 9 year old boys had a punch on yesterday. 7 yo won. Gave them both a week. Mother wants to review it.

    They are in their room playing nicely now. Bit like footy players.

    Players should treat this game with Finals Intensity. They know the levels now. It’s not a dream. They powered away with the Flag last year. 
    Losing S May is a major blow as is TMac. But others step in and we still have a dam good side 

    But Monday is Finals pressure and then a week off

    I hope we do. Taking my son to his first ever Melbourne game, and my first game in 3 years as we live so far away. Might have to pack some earplugs as he has never been exposed to magpie filth before.

    So, what's the true story? Did the 9 year old complain that the 7 year old let the side down playing marbles with the neighbour's kids or did he say he was sick of telling a third child how to position his tombola?

    Read the title of this thread and thought, will we though, then watched the Daniel Turner video and thought, yes I think we will.

    Yikes.

    Interestingly we lead the league in tackles inside 50, have conceded the fewest amount of points (even with a full game more on a quarter of the league who had the bye last round) and along with Collingwood are one of the best intercept teams in the league.

    We are one of the worst tackling and worst pressure act teams (pressure act being chasing a team from behind). It could well be the way we play in that we rarely need to chase. Teams out tackle us given we are near the top in contested possessions and disposals. We win and have more of the ball overall. We also go forward more than any other team.

    It could explain why our games haven't looked "good" all year. They have almost always seemed like grinds and they really have been.

    Suggesting Collingwood "should" win though is a stretch. Why?

    Ok so we have landed on Ginnivan, Henry, and a Daicos preferably 2. 

    Jack V. gets first crack, and gets a license to cop a 50 metre penalty and goal, or up to 2 weeks suspension if he can’t be subtle enough. 

    Then Hibbo, Harmes, Pickett to finish off whoever is left.

    Seeing as the AFL  has been kowtowed into stumbling into something they apparently can selectively choose to enter into I hope the Club will demand an opinion prior to Monday's Game as there is a definite question of double standards here..

    If jack  v gets first crack as you say the others won't be required.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
