Look Geelong are going to come out hard straightaway. They would be so annoyed the way we just steamrolled them and humilated them last year. 

We have to be switched on right from the start. 

Petty and May are going to have huge jobs tonight. 

Tonight will be the perfect time for our forward line to just suddenly click. 

To the Melbourne fans going down there well done, there is no way I could have gone down there tonight, god knows what time Id get home and have to get up so early for work. I know you will be drowned out but barrack hard as possible. 

And the thing that really annoys me is we still have to play down there. We are the reigning premiers. I would have thought this year we'd deserve to miss those trips. We should have earnt the right to play at pour ground for a home game. 

Lets hope this is the last time we play there.

    I see in the little paper Geelong are still banging on about the "virus" that "swept through" the team prior to the Preliminary Final and how they wanted to ask the AFL to postpone the match.

    'It's not an excuse mind you Melbourne were very good.'

     

     

    I want to smash this team like never before.

    I hope our team believes Geelong was rife with illness prior to the Prelim. To think otherwise might be construed as complacency.

    Agree, the virus thing, simply pathetic.

    Based on The AGE, AFL and some Fox tipsters we are the underdogs.

    We'll show 'em!

    Dees by 3-5 goals.

    It was the same on RSN this morning. Geelong this, Geelong that...........

    We got 'em.

    The football gods should reward this hubris and complacent lack of self-reflection with years of defeats to the Demons.

    Hard to get a gauge on Geelong, but they have two big forwards in red hot form. Shut them down and we are in. Geelong is my most hated side ever, I just cannot stand them or their coach.

    Anyone know what numbered clowns in yellow flouro we've got tonight?

    Looking forward to beating all 25 of them.

    Go Dees

    Odd football fact

    Melbourne now have more 100 game players in tonights teams (14 to 13)

    Not surprisingly, Geeolong are leading in the over 30's (10 to 4)

    Geelong average nearly 50 games per player more than Melbourne.

    It is the first of those points that give me hope for some years to come

    Probably better than most weeks. Meredith and Findlay very experienced.  Power is a rookie.

     
    Justin Power (4), Simon Meredith (21), Robert Findlay (23)

    Will be watching this one from home tonight. Not worried at all. Doesn't mean we'll win but I'm comfortable in the fact that we're every bit as good as them win or lose and will beat them when it really matters in September.

    I am more worried about the umpiring at kryptonite park than Geelong who I hate as much as the filth.

    Another lovely warm   morning in downtown Hua Hin  and I'm just about to break my fast at one of the many local eateries.

    The good news is that the mamasan of a nearby Sports Bar assured me that showing the AFL is "no problem for me", so I'll be watching the Dees win a tough one.

    I reckon it will be close  up to 3/4 time with Melbourne pulling away 20 points.

    I hate these ****wits so bad. 

    Viney to set the tone with a bone crunching tackle on Dangerfield at first bounce. 

    Huge game, huge. HUGE.

    The media are really talking up the cats in this one

    I don't get it. They've beaten no-one recently other than the Tiges. They are 1 year older. they've added Stengle who's been excellent but he ain't going to make up for the overall geriatric profile of this team

    We will strangle the life out of these cats and show the world that Geelong are not contenders

    Looking forward to it

    Can't make it either, just too tough. Godspeed to everyone going!

    Certainly talking a lot about 'the virus that wasn't an excuse'. This will end up being the new Freed From Desire.

    I think the midfield is where it will be won. If we allow them to get a 4-5 goal run on out of the middle it will be a struggle.

    Hopefully we learned frm Rd 23. Th ePrelim suggests that we did but I think the midfield is now their weakest link.

    No Stewart and no Koladashkneesupmotherbrown is a decent help as well

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
