I'm overseas and can't watch.  What was the goss

Nothing too exciting. Salem out just due to soreness.

 

C’mon Bowey, give the selectors a headache coming into finals.

Groin soreness a week from finals isn’t ideal. Salem has had a year to forget.

The Bowey selection is interesting purely that he's coming off a 5 day break and got some pretty big hits at Casey last week.

Looking forward to watching him play though.

Leprechaun luck comes back.

Goody knows how important Salem is in finals. Check Q1 GF. He is our most composed player bar none.  No risk taken as a quality kid ready. 
good call

Is Max OK?

Bowie for Salem I can handle but if Max is out I might as well start drinking now.

My info is that Max is struggling with a knee injury and may be a very late, late out.

Hopefully on the mild side. Confident he'll be right.

How unimaginative Jordan super sub

Would have gone for Joel Smith

Spargo needs a friggen huge game

 

I'll be keeping a close on Gus tonight. I think he is playing sublime footy at at his best.

No news on kayo re Max so maybe he's OK.

Bye next week


Hearing Fagan talk pre game it seems they've gone to absolute town on our game plan.

Stated that they have reviewed games from this year and last year to see what the issue is.

Was confident pre game, now not so much..

JJ isn’t a bad sub option. He can play wing mid half forward or half back. And he’s definitely closest to our 22. 

Is this game scheduled for 7.50 because

Qland is still living in the last century and refuse to have daylight savings time?

I feel sick 🤮

First time since last year’s finals that I feel genuinely sick with nerves about a game. 
Things matter again. I don’t like it.

Friday night games are always 7:50pm start time. 

Watching from Cebu City Philippines 

Ned Kelly Sports Bar 

Great Bar if anyone is passing through 

I hope Tracca steps up tonight. He's been OK but he's not playing at his best.

And it seemed he was given that much time in the middle last week. 

I think we can and will win but as nervous as anything, the Pinot is not helping might have to move onto the Shiraz and see if that helps.

Wouldn't that be strange if a few of us did.

I ope you find at least one dees supporter to hold.

Just hope we plan for their plan 

With the whole fam in Covid ISO, it feels eerily similar to the final round 2021.
I'm hoping for something a little less traumatic on the heart. Go Dees. Go big time.

  • 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.
