    It has to start now.


    👉🏽Do not entertain a shoot out
                                                                         👉🏽Match Viney’s intensity

    👉🏽Shut down Curnow and McKay

    👉🏽 Kick straight / give off to someone in better position 

    👉🏽Tackles / defensive pressure inside our 50

    If we can do this, we’ll win by 8 goals. 
     

    Go Dees🔴🔵

    ...and no third quarter nap time

    If Melbourne let  Carlton do as they please and Cripps roughs up a few of our players without brutal retaliation from us we'll probably lose half the membership base for '23.

    Get the job done dees . No talk about yesterdays players no matter how respected they are.

    Get it done.!!

    I know I’m banging on about it but BOM says chance of showers all day. What a load of crap.(Just like it did for last Friday’s game - which didn’t rain one bit during the game)  (The app I look at shows a number of forecasts, one says a shower around 5pm, the other at 7pm)
     At worst there may be a shower…….so all of us that can, turn up and be loud and proud.

    FFS, it would be nice to outnumber the opposition supporters at our last home game for the year.  Is that too much to hope for?

    My friend Peter “Johnno”’Johnson (an arrogant Blues supporter) reckons they have our measure and guys like Saad and Walsh will expose our zone.  He thinks Curnow and McKay will be too much for Dees. 
     

    Bring it on. 
     

    I do wish we had a strong marking “figurehead” key forward like Neita in the line up. Our multiple entries seem to go wasted a lot of the time.

    A bit nervous about tonight. My MFCSS is in full swing. Blues got nothing to lose, Cripps playing, backs against the wall, statement game to claim “The blues are back”. We’re a better side, and we just need to get the job done tonight.

    Our fan base hasn’t seen a victory against a big Melbourne club since Anzac Eve. As a club we need to win tonight as it’s winning these games which makes our supporter base want to show up rather than get out numbered in the crowd and beaten. Give our supporters a reason to walk out after the game heads held high with a victory.

    I hope Dees supporters don't boo Cripps(though the system does deserve booing).

    Booing just encourages players. Don't let's help fire him up.

    Spot on. Neiter was such a reliable target.

    I wish Dogga could come close to him.

    But I guess Jackson is younger and may some day. Hope he stays.

     

    Bbb was doing well last year at this role and really improved his contested marking or at least getting the ball to ground for our seagulls.

    Here's hoping anyway.

    And it's just not the Mlbourne way. Too much class. Especially when one has a mouthful of Jarlsberg cheese the throat is dry and it's hard to make any sound.

    The blues usually get home crowds in the 40-50s even against interstate so it seems low especially when you consider the importance of the game for both teams.

    One should expect a decent crowd but who knows

    It's a fight for finals possie ....I reckon closer to 59,987

    Us supporters have not given up so 25k Dees...30k blues and 4987 hanger ons whose teams are " resbuilding"

    I'd say most of us probably agree too Mr Sunrise but the blues have bit to lose this being the 2nd last game of the season.

    You want to power home with the spinnaker up and win those games going into finals.

    Yea out form has been down but we haven't been humilated.

    Tighten up our backline with May and Lever doing what they do best ...intercept marking.

    And have bbb stand tall so to speak and clunk quite a few. Fritta to spark up and Kozzie and Sparticus to do the rest in terms of scoring.

    I'm hoping Jackson and Gawn swapping roles every ten mins will be too much for Carlton.

    Bring it home the best club in the world.

    Going off a tangent here. Nothing new I suppose 

     

    Moving to Northern Wollongong ten years ago...I thought I do right by my 16 yo son and take him to a nrl game.

    His mates follow it.

     

    I tried ny hardest to get into it as I have enjoyed state of origin....the rivalry and atmosphere is like 3 grand finals in a row .

    But a normal game well our team the Dragons were smashed....it was quite boring to Afl.

    Sure I appreciate the toughness and courage of players... especially standing under a rain maker with 1000kg of men coming at you.

     

    I know I'm bias but truly it lacks the speed... the speckies....the snaps....the disco dancing around players...the run and precision.

     

    Even after 4 beers it wasn't holding much attention.

     

    Afl is the best game in the world and it's all ours...the Irish are smart and have something similar.

    It's a great leveller...players and class.

    5ft 4 mid v a 7ff ruck.... plumbers and politicians all enjoy this unique sport.

    GB have soccer...yawn.

    Usa has football....like nrl.

    France has rugby...not too bad.

    But Afl wins hands down. A GAME called footy but can have more handballs than kicks.

    I'm tearing up now must go...proud to be an Aussie.

    If every team member stepped up and played their best like Gus has this year we will have a flag without question.

    On a much lighter (and way sweeter) note: this is what I bring to our games. (Please don’t judge me)

    I call it the “I don’t care about living to a ripe old age” ensemble. The banana is included since I do care about living ‘til the end of the match. 😁

    JK. I actually share these around with my comrades. Especially for a double-header like today. I’m a (sugar) loading believer. So if you notice a spike in our energy levels around the beginning of the second quarter tonight you’ll know why. 
    You’re welcome!

    PS: hey @The heart beats true! We could fill our squadders with nothing but pure sugar for a week and have em all hooked up to a liquid sugar drip and they’d still be s**t-house, amirite?! Someone should start a thread about it!

    Not sure if I really believe the banana story.

    If I know you and I think I do a little I'd say it was there to surreptitiously toss on the boundary line for a blues player kicking from the pocket.

    But I won't tell anyone. Oh wait...

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
