That’s a huge ask seeing as many of us are here, not in WA. 
Maybe the WA Demons fans will do it!!!

As well as WCE fans coz Freo.

Forgot WCE… easily done 😆

 

I'm expecting Freo to make a late change and bring in Terry Alderman. He will be impossible to keep out on that wing.IMG_6374 copy.png

    Is there an article on this, or inside info 

    The boys need to eyeball each other and say “let’s go”

    Just my take on the comments of Richo, Gus, Trac and Goody in the media, sounds like the players have been told they're on the verge on letting the season slip away and need to get back to our selfless values that made us great in 2021 or it'll be one that got away.

    MFCSS has me in its grip. That, and im not convinced by our form over the last month.

    Tipping Freo by 20-30 points and a long week of us getting slagged off by the media.

     

    Maybe Gus signing on will give us a boost somehow. 

    Make me eat my words Dees.

    Gameday once again huh? Seems to come around on a pretty regular basis during my summer months ..... and how good is that.

    Finished breakfast and the morning coffee and will now do a bit of work until Game Time.

    12.10pm start time for me so it will be a late lunch with a few glasses of wine after the win.

    Dees By a lot......

    Do we know the medical sub yet?

    IF Tommo I guess they would be worried about May and or Lever, otherwise probably Chandler. 

    Looks like Chandler is out warming up on the ground

    Tonight will tell a lot about our hunger to win it all this season. Players should be stung by the earlier meeting where they belted us in the contest and on the scoreboard on our own patch.

    When teams have really upped the physicality this season we just haven't responded well enough. It's going to take a full 4 quarters of intensity tonight, including finding a way to drag ourselves back up when things are going against us.

    Do we have it in us?

    The most up-beat, positive, optimistic game-day thread in D'land history.

    Suggest we run the game time posting as a separate thread so we can run a comparative study?

    I read somewhere it’s Dunstan. I was sure it was on the MFC website that I read it, but can’t find it now.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
