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

Only two games tomorrow and none on 7 what is that about?

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.

Had me worried there for a second when I glanced at the first few words. Phew. Yea love to see a 100 point thumping over this bunch. Still have deep loathing towards them. My wife tells me to get over it but I say ...why?

We showed during the week that we are not the ‘pushover’ club that many thought we were.  I reckon we’ll come out pumped, just for the satisfaction of ‘rubbing their noses in it’, and to show our support for Roo and Maysie as well.  A shellacking, and +10 percentage points, is a strong possibility.  Go Demons!

Typo

 

Dees to dominate the first quarter to lead by 20 points. Hawks to manage to stay with us, and be only 30 points down mid way through third quarter. Our fitness and late game strength to have us win by 8 - 10 goals.

Fritsch, Kozzie and chandler to provide most of our goals. The Hawks will put a lot of energy into JVR to stop his confidence, and to the limit energy the Dees squad will have from him being free to play. 

Until the last quarter, it might not be a great spectacle with the Hawks doing all they can to play keepings off, make it a scramble, lots of stoppages.

The bad white men call him the devil
The Yavapai call him "Eyes Like the Sky"

As always take the 4 points by any margin!

What I would be delighted to see is the Demons massacre the Hawks by 100 plus points but rarely as easy as you think or hope!

5 plus from Frittata, Kozzy, JVR and Max would be brilliant, highly unlikely but can always dream!

Go Demons give those Hawks a flogging from the start to the very end!

 

Hawks aren’t as bad as a lot of people seem to think they always give cheek at least for the first half of games…that said we should pull away after half time and win by 40+

I’ll be there to witness the mighty Melbourne Football Club spanking a tanking Hawthorn. 
GO DEES!!!!!!

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.

 

Maybe they’ll both be tanking so hard that that game will be a nil all draw.

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!!!

Some on here amusingly call Optus Stadium in Perth 'Boo Stadium' when we or anyone else plays the Eagles there.

Well today in bright Autumn sunshine, we shall be turning the 'G' into the east coast 'Boo Stadium',  or should I say 'ROOOO' Stadium.

I know I will be.  Hang on, is yelling Roo allowed if it sounds like Boo.? Didn't stop Tiger fans last night.

It smells like the Essendon pre game in here. 
I am not saying we will lose. But I am saying that I hope our players aren’t waking up today thinking they’re on vacation.

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. 

No one feels more let down by Fritta’s performance last week than Fritta himself. He has such high expectations and standards and is understandably terribly disappointed in himself. Look out Hawks, he’s keen to atone.

Unfortunately today Frosty (who’s playing his 150th) will likely be in the vicinity when we yell Rooooo and it will sound as though we’re booing him. I’m sure everyone will know that’s not the case.

Soz Jaded. That might be my fault. I didn’t get time to clean the bottom of the chook cage. Oh, I didn’t notice the word ‘pregame’. Thought you just meant Essendon in general. 😁

Let’s not take it as a given and that they are tanking - serious pressure from the first minute and maintain it.

FWIW, a player currently out of the side was at a mate’s workshop yesterday and told mate when asked that the boys are switched on for today despite the distraction all week. Said no one is to be taken lightly these days. 

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


I predict a gritty first half, followed by us kicking away in the 3rd and last quarters.

Get out the pop corn for the Saturday's late matinee at the 'G  folks...

 

As free as the grass grows at the 'G

Born free to follow your heart's desire

As free kicks may blow your way

As the grandstand surrounds you

The game still astounds you

Each time you look like a star

Stay free

Where no AFL tribunal derides you

You're free as a rising star so there's no need to bide time

Born free

Seasons in the Sun are worth living

But only worth for giving

Cos you're born free

We’ve still got scores to settle here. No mercy!

Too [censored] right. I want us to have the same mindset like we did against North. I don’t want an easygoing 30-40 point win, I want a 4 quarter effort.

We will win by a couple of goals. Hawks usually turn up to play us and as a lot of bottom teams do they will put up a good fight once every few weeks or so. Next week is the bigger picture against the south aussie filth.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
