Yeah, was more referring to where someone said they had the group cheer in the middle similar to when it's announced someone will debut.

I reckon you're spot on. Good detective work!

    Yeh well I think part of the reason Melk has come in to play that role is because of the trouble we've had with our own key talls either being outmarked or positioned by key defenders so his inclusion was born out of necessity. 

    Harmes is just too vanilla for me. And if he doesn't have a lock down role, I'd much rather us explore a more dynamic mid to take his place at season's end. A player with composure and great ball use. 

    Have you identified the tree this player grows on?

    Gates open at 415 Dub, so I'm guessing the sheilas start shortly thereafter.

    FFS mate. It's not 1973.

    And best of all, $2 pies from 4.15 until the start of the main game. When was the last time you could buy a pie at the footy for $2? Another very good reason to attend. It almost convinced me to book a flight to the G.

    $2 Rat Coffin is a pretty sick deal.

    You occasionally remind me of Range Rover, who was a particularly heinous and nauseating poser on here years ago.

    Ahh good old Rangey..

    I had my suspicion he came back as Olisik, but I think even big O was still kicking around when Rangey was active.

    Surely he's come back under another name?

    No changes.

    Same old same old.

    But here's hoping this ossified selection comes out and belts the blues ...the team that is.

    Let us show that we are a true finals threat by not just winning, but demolishing Carlton that he game that will become known as the August Massacre.

    I am seriously worried about not winning the gf this year or even being in it and it ain't a flare up of Mfcss.

    I'm not alone. Too many players a fair way off their best.

    This game needs to be won by us by a huge margin.

    We the faithful have been finally rewarded a flag and although won in Perth it doesn't detract or taint any of its glory or merit.

    Buy how wonderful to see us win one on our home ground, so many can go and see it rather than a digital version.

     

    Go Dees.

     

    Enjoy  the game Mr DS and company.

    Can someone give us the consensus view on final teams?

    Casey team article suggests Harmes playing, not sure if that's std or he's actually confirmed?

    Others thought Laurie would debut, potentially in place of Pickett, does that leave Tomlinson as Sub?

    Just a compilation of rumours and Demonland posts...

    Kozzy may miss with a sore knee.

    Chandler and Bedford have COVID.

    Some discussion whether the excited little crowd of players was excited enough to indicate a Laurie debut.

    Then it gets intriguing because if Kozzy was to miss Laurie seems a better replacement than Harmes, but should it be Harmes then you wouldn't think we'd debut Laurie (or JVR) as sub... Which then leaves Tommo as likely sub.

    It's a bit like an episode of Bold and the Beautiful this week...

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
