    I get the merit of this but that hit from Long on Simmonds was a dog act. This video lionises it. Yeah I was triggered.

    All I asked for my birthday is a Melbourne win. Let’s Go Dees!

     

    Also please Melbourne fans come and be loud! Make noise and get the umpires on our side and lift the boys. We missed out last year and it still hurts. Don’t take this opportunity for granted. 

    Hope you had a good birthday regardless Jaded. As someone who's birthday usually falls on QB it can be dangerous hoping for a result for birthday happiness.

    Will be watching Bailey Fritsch very closely tonight. Last year, his increased physicality and attack on the ball and man from the start of the finals told me that through all levels of the group they knew what was going to be required to win it all, and they were prepared to do it.

    It's going to take that level of pressure, and probably more because our opponents are stronger this year, to get it done.

    In my mind, if we match or exceed Sydney's pressure around the ball tonight, we win. Wouldn't surprise me if they follow Collingwood's tactic of almost conceding the in close contest to us, to try and harass us and turn us over on the way out. We need to put them under massive pressure whenever they are near the ball to counter this.

    Hehe, yes. When you think about it we only need 6 more finals wins for a three peat. Get it done boys, how hard can it be?!

    It was. I'm sorry rpfc to trigger you on such a big day. I wish I'd dubbed some Dees footage from last year's gf.

    Just think of our win.

    Interesting that Swans fwd line isn't tall either....they have paps and Heeney...we have Fritta and Milk.

    Bbb and Franklin are the big talls.

    If Max can go fwd and please God kick true then it could be difficult for the Swannies.

    Logan Mcdonald is the one that interests me. Just need to make sure we are doing what we do well very well tonight. As mentioned I think their smalls are going to score on us, that's a given. Must control what we can control.

    It's been a while since Anb and Sparticus have kicked bags. Here's hoping along with Kozzie and Jv they add quite a few.

    If Max is there at least the ball is marked or on the ground.

    Taking my 9yo daughter to her first finals game at the G! Both super pumped.

    I've shown her some of the goals (Hannan and Melky) from our 2018 finals campaign and given her a sample of the crowd noise, but nothing beats the sound of it live. I'm getting shivers down my spine just recalling it. Reckon she will have a smile from ear to ear when we kick that first goal!

    Can't wait!

    SAME!!! Usually a bundle of nerves on GameDay but today feels different. 
    I’ve actually managed to successfully eat something this morning, as opposed to my standard GameDay brekkie fare of ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ and 🚬 🚬 🚬🚬

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
