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.

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.

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.

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"

Went to see Gang Of youths last night, and I'm taking the massive Red and Blue light show to start things off as an omen of a big win.

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.

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...

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
