He doesn’t. Nobody would believe it anyway. 
It’s like how he was a Richmond supporter when I first met him… that did not last long

 

Not super 100% confident about tonight being that easy - we really should win but a couple of Tigers mainly Dusty and Bolton if they get off the chain worry me....

I'll tip us by 25 in a solid but not spectacular win

We shouldn't be losing this game. Not with their missing players and our close-enough-to full strength line up.

Win and we go back into the top 4. Lose and we'll be out of the top 8 for the first time since the end of the 2020 season.

I am totally with you. Having said that it annoys me that I even have to think like that. I could almost get how and why we lost to Brisbane. I can’t get over the loss to Essendon.

I really hope that the ‘premiership contender’ Melbourne turns up tonight. I want other teams in coming weeks dreading having to play against us rather than seeing us as an opportunity to win.

GO DEES!!!!!

If I was a coach and hearing my players dreading to play against another team and not thinking that you can win I would hang up my whistle and give the game totally away, every game is winnable.

Most of you know my stance on Essendon but I really think they're flying out of the radar this year whether they can keep it up all year and stay there is another story but at this present time they're not easy beats.

What if the lights dont come back on before the first bounce?

Are the towers on the grid with back up generators. We've had a few games disrupted recently due to power failures.

Thats why i am opposed to a night GF. Imagine if the lights went down in the last qtr with a goal in it.FMD!!

Think we will win fairly convincingly providing the forwards get up and about. Having Max or Grundy down there may help but would love JVR to finally step up and show us what he is made of. He is lucky to still be in the team IMV as he was just as bad as TMac last week. Go get them JVR. Please.

That's funny on so many levels.

I completely understand the Aretha Franklinism. However, I assumed they would still let people enter the stadium but hold them back from going to their seats. Perhaps that's too resource intensive, though.


This is the game back in 2021 that I became a true believer when I realised that we were a serious premiership contender.

I hope that this game I can again capture my faith again and believe.  Sounds bit like a religion doesn’t it….

In particular, according to the master of profundity aka Dermie, the lap of the ‘G by the lone Light Horse Troop in complete darkness is the most poignant part. 

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

I always associate this night with the part of the ode, "At the going down of the sun", and leading to the dawn service.

The beginning of reflection.  

The ceremony and people's energy, is amazing and so heart filled.

I should have known you would respond. 

The bas543d drove off too quick.

I'm actually quite confident about this game. 

Bombers beat us for a number of reasons, but mostly because we were a rabble down back. Brining back Lever and Hibbo should address alot of this. 

Im also bouyed by the response against the Swans after the Lions loss. Hope to see a similar response this week. Our players like the big occasions too. 

Lastly im putting blind faith in travel being a contributing factor in the lack lustre performance in SA. Trips to QLD, WA and SA to start the season didn't help our cause.

We were missing Lever, Salem, Hibberd and Petty (as a defender). In addition, it looked to me that May had a back problem as he seemed unable to bend over.  That's a very different defensive unit to the 2021 GF.

I thought Petty played plenty of time down back last week. Salem's 2021 form was incredible too.

But yes, no Lever and Hibbo made us alot weaker - both are good one on one, and Levers ability to judge when to leave his man and when to stay was sorely missed.

Yes, he did.

With all due respect to the writer - I wish writers/journalists/pundits wouldn't dumb down language when referencing a match.

I'd argue, we didn't have an 'off week'. May looked hobbled, Lever was out with an injury, Hibered was out injured, Gawn was out injured, and all these injuries combined contributed to a system that broke down....

Out of respect during the ceremony, mainly because of the minute of silence.

Are you sure gates are closed and not just lights out from 6.55?

Could be lots of angry people queuing to get in after 6.55 if gates are closed - afterall it is a work day and people will be coming from all over Melbourrne.

PSA

For those using Glen Waverley line , no trains at end  of game ,only buses

Glen Waverley line passengers
Buses will replace trains between Richmond and Glen Waverley this evening. 
Passengers are advised to go to Richmond station for replacement bus services. 
Those travelling beyond East Malvern are to get a Pakenham or Frankston train to Caulfield station for replacement bus services.

 

maybe this can be pinned on top of every page

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
