It’s been a big week for the Melbourne Football Club which fought the good fight to uphold the integrity of the game. 

Today is the day of the players to back that up on the football field against Hawthorn. We need the supporters to come out on force to cheer them on.

 

This is the game to have a really big win,we seem to coast a bit against the weaker sides and do enough to win well but dont bury them

Sadly your poor old Uncle Bitter is marooned in the wildlands of North East Victoria far from the comforts of The Manor and will be an armchair supporter today.

Not that my absence will make much difference to what will be a 50 plus point demolition. 

I'm sure I speak for most in saying I'd like to see JVR kick a bag. The club are clearly prepared to give him every opportunity to develop and hold on to a permanent spot. Kicking a few today would be a terrific confidence booster and fillip for his career.

After his first goal less game for eons Fritta is also likely to hit the scoreboard hard.

The game won't be much of a spectacle - if you're a Dorks supporter.

This one is NOT a danger game so rest easy DL.

Harley Reid is the prize the Hawks seek not the 4 points today.

I'll have the youngins along, all decked out in our Dees gear, so hoping to see some fireworks from Maxy, Trac and Clarry. And hopefully they get to practice their Rooooooooooooooo chanting.

Dees by 40 points

I think it’s fair to say we buried North a fortnight ago. Hawthorn’s team today is better - we should win but don’t get carried away if the margin isn’t to your liking.

You really want that Number one draft pick Hawks, well just come and try and get it. We dare you.

I can’t for the life me fathom how West Coast don’t finish last this year.

For starters, they play Hawthorn down in Tassie soon which would be a near certain win for the Hawks.

 

Most relaxed I’ve felt all year 😃

any win beyond 30 points effectively puts us 3 games clear of Geelong (6th place) and beyond.

I can't be there today but if I were I'd be holding a sign with a big number 2 on it.

I guess I phrased that quote wrong. I meant the figure two, not an image of Gleeson.

Big difference in us this year has been the injection of youth in our fwd line. Chandler has been superb and JVR very promising and is tough as. Importantly both are skilful and have added 25 goals and only 4 behinds. 

Hawks have a couple of players back after resting Bruest, CJ and Mackenzie. So they won’t be as insipid as last week. 

expect a decent contest in the first half then a 10 goal better second half

Do it for May. Hopefully he can get into some form too

Heard there was a bit of illness around club last week, explains a few flat in GC

Hopefully all cleared up this week

It's going to be a sunny day. Shame it's not at 2:10 but a nice afternoon should be had by all. I expect us to win comfortably & we should if we're serious.

I do hope our supporters show up in numbers and wouldn't it be great if Van Rooyen clunks the first grab. 

Go dees!!!

Yep

Strange time for a game. It will have an almost zero TV audience so why it couldn't be at a supporter friendly time in winter sunshine I don't know

You can't keep a player of Fritta's quality down for long. Jvr to show his appreciation and I keep expecting Kozzie to kick 5 soon. Hopefully it's today. GCS big win in Perth made me more confident.  Congratulations to May. Surely we should hope for a 50 point win.

So one game less than after round nine last year. 

Clarry to hospital at half time with acute leather poisoning. I’d like to see a similar game to the North game a couple of weeks ago, but break the ton this time.
