I would really like it to NOT be close. A win with minimal effort would be much better. 

Agreed, it was 13 goals to 2 at half time 3 weeks ago, a similar score is desirable.

    Daniher out means they will play fast corridor football instead of their slow high marking game.

    What game style do we fail against most often?

    They have to win the ball first and they’re not as skilled as other sides that have beaten us that way.

    That's right! Or at least half of that will be acceptable!

    If we are too tall back maybe an opportunity, to shift Petty forward to help out BB?

    I'm surprised and shocked on two counts.

    1. Someone found Daniher attractive enough to do the deed

    2. Daniher was accurate enough to "kick a goal."

    Never a problem for AFL players no matter their looks. 
    But yeah, can’t dispute your 2nd point 😂

    Hearing that we also might have a late out for Smith or Bedford either of which will play or supersub

    Might want to send this through to the coaches at MFC, doubt they will catch on

    Sounds a bit Spargo-ish.

    Last week i was anxious as all heck, today i am very much "what will be will be". Would be a waste of a season to go out in straight sets, particularly starting 10-0.

    It's all up to the boys now. I'll be there cheering them on tonight, and hopefully get to next week as well. 🤞

    Agree. But that’s how the Dees mess with your head. Flat this week. Smash the Lions

    have a week of getting your hopes up then Hawkins kicks 6 and we are crushed!

    good times!

    Yep


    No matter what anyone says, there is huge pressure on us tonight. 

    We haven't had enough go wrong out of our control to mean that a straight sets exit after starting 10-0 and finishing 2nd is acceptable. It isn't.

    I put very little weight in the margin of the two H&A games. Finals are different. We won't blow Brisbane apart (if we do, that says way more about them than us). We are better than them, we should find it easier to score against them than Sydney given their leaky defence, and we should have a point to prove and a burning desire to right the ship.

    I don't mind if it's a slog, or if it's close, or if we're behind at points. I just want a win. I want a shot at Geelong in a prelim, where for the first time in a long time we'll be significant underdogs.

    Things were certainly different last week. We just need to get the job done tonight, that is all. Not particularly fussed about the perfect performance. Win and go again.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
