Had a listen to SEN this morning, they played a bit of Fagan's media conference from yesterday. When asked about Neale and possibly Harmes tagging him I'm sure I heard he said we used questionable tactics to nullify Neale last time we played them. He then mentioned it's up to the umps to watch that sort of stuff. Just what the ump lovers on this forum wanted to hear.

Go Dees!!!

 

As long as they give Oliver and Gawn the same consideration.

    Pretty sure he was sooking not long ago about the GC tactics against his forward line which was analysed with behind the goal visions where there was absolutely nothing to be seen. 
    The guy knows if we play anywhere near our best we are a 5 goal better side at any ground.

    Did he add what they and other teams do to Oliver...

    He has played that 'poor Neale' card a few times now this year.  Probably trying to get the umps on side.  He should show more public belief in his team rather than sook.

    Wonder what he would say about Oliver if he was a Lion.

    He is in a wresting match nearly every contest to get free to go after the ball and rarely free kicked.

    Listening to it my initial thought was Fagan is trying to manufacture some kind of 'edge' last minute. If our tactics were dodgy back in round 15 he had plenty of time to complain to the umpiring department.

    If anyone wants a ticket in Bay 222 let me know and I will send to you by SMS.

    Would be our biggest H & A win for a long time if we can pull this off.

    Similar to the games in 1998 against Sydney and Richmond.

    More recently probably the WCE win in Perth in 2018

    Round 23, 2021?

    So much 'redemption' and impetus on road to the Premiership, in that after the siren win.

    Flew into Coolangatta last night, 25 degree day up here. Now, looking out at the sun nudging above the horizon on the Coral Sea at Currumbin 15 storeys up. About to go for a run around Burleigh Heads headland and then a dip. Geez I'm glad to be out of the miserable sodding Victorian weather.

    Way to rub it in mate, jeez! 🤣

    It's a beautiful sunny day in Melbourne today, not a cloud in the sky and sub 10 degrees 🥶

    Agree ... that win = 2021 premiership

    Win tonight = 2022 premiership

    Interested in some DL opinions on what reasons Brisbane are so much better at the Gabba than anywhere else?

    Geelong you can attribute to the dimensions of the ground, but the Gabba is similar in size to the 'G, where the Lions' recent record is terrible.

    For this year it is because they have played weaker teams.

    Haven't looked at prior years.

    Exactly, a loss will be considered a choke of the highest order. We are the reigning premier coming up against a team we’ve had little trouble disposing off in the past. Top 2 is still achievable.

    My theory? 

    Day games are often much more hot and humid than opponent are used to - the lions train in such conditions so that probably gives them some advantage.

    And night games are often slippery with the dew and humidity, and again opponent are not used to those sort of conditions.

    As much as it is frustrating to see the attention  that the likes of Oliver and Gawn has received all year it makes me feel proud that Goody never seems to play the ‘woe is me card’ in the public media to try and get the umpires on side.

    We'll win comfortably tonight. Not a belting like last time, but 4-5 goals. We've got the wood on Brisbane, and as much as the media want to make out we're in poor form, Brisbane are in the same boat and have stumbled over the line at home against weaker opposition.

    We also travel incredible well and will be on the road again first week of final to play Swans at the SCG. Get it done Dees!

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
