Obviously, like everyone on here I think we’ll win, however I don’t think it’ll be as big as the North win. I’m expecting an 8-10 goal win.

    Hopefully trac can continue his good form and keep kicking goals and also hopefully Clayton uses the ball well today and hits our fowards up.

    I was going to post some interesting points, about our defenders and how they will get to play their preferred game, about the sheer weight of class, power and stamina in our midfield, that Sicily will be forced to play tight on Fritsch and that won't work anyway (like making Lever play close on Hawkins), about the probability of Van Rooyen dominating Frost and of our pressure game causing a whole bunch of their young players to be second-guessing and rushing directly into our turnover traps...

    But, in summary, I'll be watching this game expecting to see an impact crater when the dust settles at the Hawthorn footballish club.

    I'm going in hungry.

    Dumb question. Home & Away membership get's into the game using Melbourne membership, yeah? 

    even just a home membership does because it's a "replacement" game for our "home" game in alice

    I'm not as optimistic as others on this thread - I'm expecting a 15 goal win.

    With all this talk of a potential goal-fest I’m SO glad I’m not on flogging duty today. My biceps still aren’t talking to me after last week’s match. 😭

    I hope there’s not many ppl staying away because of this. That’s the very definition of a fair weather fan.

    There will be a lot of fans on flogging duty tonight at the Carlton game @WalkingCivilWar - have no fear.

    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

    I was watching his highlights from 21 and some of 22. He is clearly hampered.

    I’m sure he’s had plenty of practice 

    It's funny, I used to kinda enjoy "Frost Ball" when he was with us because it enjoyable seeing someone from our club take the game on. Now I enjoy it even more as an oppo fan because I'd say the success rate is below 50%, and it's utter chaos to the point it unsettles his own team. It's exciting and exhilarating when it comes off, but most of the time it's just insane!

    I would imagine Frost will be going to JvR, it could actually be an interesting match up. Frost has speed and strength, but JvR is pretty smart for a young pup so I could see him running rings around him if given the chance. I would love for him to kick a bag today.

    I think Frost has gotten worse but I always he thought he was a good player for us. Yea sure sometimes he turned it over but overall he was pretty good and your right it was exciting stuff.

    Well, it would be unseemly to have 20 pages of everyone just chanting 'Kill. Kill. Kill.'

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
