With inclement weather it could be a night out for our smalls in who are all in good touch.

Always had a soft spot for the Tigers. That is of course until they started dominating.  Same with Footscray.  Always liked an underdog. It's sad success brings out my contempt for clubs but that's footy.

Whoops didn't mean to quote myself.  But since Im here, why cant I give my post a like?

    My weather forecast Ap is saying 70% chance of rain today and 80% tomorrow.

    Any concerns?

    Depends where your app suggests it's going to rain. I'm in Melbourne and I've just washed my hair. So maybe.....

    The hate is unhealthy but the schadenfreude of watching those  teams lose was the only salve during the Dee Dark Days.

    I like how you're able to see that hate is unhealthy.  Many people are unable to get that stage.

    Hate is such a strong word …….
    It was obligatory to hate Pies as a Melbourne supporter in years gone, the two just went together and that DNA never goes away.

    Hate Blues because they are Carlton.

    Hate Dons since 2000 and their no responsibility drug saga enhanced it.

    Hate Cats because of the unfair advantage they get.

    The hate is unhealthy but the schadenfreude of watching those  teams lose was the only salve during the Dee Dark Days.

     

     

    Excellent hate summation.

    Boomers and their obsession with syntax, grammar, accuracy and factual information!

    And we're all the better for it. Mind you, I've just started a sentence with a conjunction which is another no-no, so there is still room for improvement.

    You've probably now informed younger readers what at least one conjunction is.   But I doubt they'll remember.

    But LDC ....... it's just a convention..... so don't worry over it!

    And, don't let the grammar nazis tell you any different!

    3- Assume Draper and Phillips to physically go at Grundy to wear him down.  Tmcd could be used to support. This could be a weakness as exposed by the Lions.  

    Why would we revert back to this when JVR who has performed the role since coming in is also playing

    Pregame pregame question. 

    Will Max play against tigers?

    Would you risk him when the Tigers have no ruckman? 
    We then play North off a very short break and then Gold Coast. 
    Doubt we will see him before North game. Could be as late as Hawks game. You don’t risk your most important players.

    I guess we don't need him against norf and Gws anyway.

    I disagree hate can be healthy eg I hate murderers, pedos etc - probably even more than I hate Essendon 🤣

    I was being facetious.

    The MFC website advertised open training on Saturday afternoon, despite the fact that we play on that same afternoon.

    The comms department needs to proof read their news releases.

    I don't think it's a concern given we can activate the sub at any time

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
