    Those 2 finals at the G in 2018 were special and without doubt the highlight of my time following the Dees. So looking forward to tonight after the tedium of that goddam pandemic and watching our march last year from my sitting room

    Pack the G to the rafters and blow the roof of the old place tonight fellow Dees tragics

    On the game, Sydney won't know what hit them tonight.

    Dees by 35 points

    Funnily enough I missed the 2018 finals because I was travelling. My family was there and it looked sick!

    Ironically, I was travelling again last year and got to see all the finals. The noise was incredible, particularly in WA. Never experienced anything like it watching the Dees.

    Would like to think that after tonight, I’ll be saying ‘wow, the noise level even surpassed what occurred in WA last year’.  GO DEES!!

    Win or lose tonight we'll be playing the Pies or Cats in a PF (if we make the PF) ... unless either the Dogs or Freo can win 2 finals

    We can end up playing the Swans in a GF regardless of tonight's result

    What a combo.

    I've noticed May often gets players quite taller than him but I guess May has the most strength out of our backline.

     

    Special congratulations to Jayden Hunt who is the current Melbourne player (excluding Luke Dunstan) who has played the most games without ever playing in a final (112). Well deserved.

    Sydney eliminated in first final last year. 

    It will happen again.

    Also finals experience and number played in, really helps.

    We have much more finals experience than Sydney.

    Their nerves will be sky high first ten minutes so I hope we put on 5 in that time.

    No it won't. The loser tonight gets a second chance. (Will play Brisbane.)

    That was WCW a fortnight ago when still relatively calm. 

    unrelated: does anyone know if there’s such a thing as Red Bull poisoning? Asking for a friend who’s bouncing off the walls already.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
