Should win today.

I would like to see McDonald really have a presence today. I just remember Brown and Weideman were non existent last time we played them at the G. I'm going to back him in for a big one today.

Petracca and Viney to really stand up and show that no Oliver, no worries.

Max had an absolute stinker. Rarely does this two weeks in a row.

Kozzie to get back into form starting today.

Won't be watching the footy as I'll be kicking the dew off at 2pm so hoping for some good news once I open my phone again at 4:45pm.

Often Should haves become Would haves if they Could haves.

We Should.

Should have last year too

Nothing to be taken for granted

    It’s a must win today. A top 5 to 10 pick is on the line plus a top 4 finish. Nuff said. Go Dees

    I have a feeling that Viney will have a huge, match winning game today. Without Oliver it just seems set up for the unleashing of our ballistic missile!!

    That’s right, isnt it?! Viney steps up when required -a champion.

    Not entirely thrilled with the ins and outs, but if we can get our structures right and stop their clearances and fast run, we should win.  I hope it gives us a good ‘preview’ of how to play the Pies, since they have reverted strongly to this way of playing (Fast).

    Jacko to have a good one (but not too good).  Hoping for better setup around bounces etc.

    I’m not going to write the season off if we lose but I will be disappointed if we look too short down back and/or if TMac and JBR struggle. 

    No Oliver hurts badly but we covered well for Gawn and I’ll back Harmes and Sparrow in to give us good cover today.

    I tell you what, this place will go into chronic meltdown if we don't get the points today.

    My tip is a hard fought win with Petracca BOG.

    Our handballing, tackling and F50 crumbing has to be sharper today. These three things have hurt us for most of this season and it would be great to see some improvement for a Saturday arvo game.  Freo are very good at ground level so we can't let them mop up easily at our half forward, and surge forward.

    Our mids have been kicking goals, but our forwards have been in a slump. I reckon Fritsch & Kozzie are due a big one.

    I’m looking forward to this with nervous anticipation.   Really keen to see how the new midfield mix looks and works in Clarrie’s absence, and who of our ‘lesser lights’ can stand up when needed.  I’d love to see see Spaz announce himself with a four quarter ‘breakout’ game. He has what it takes, he just needs to deliver.  If not Spaz, then Riv as a genuine mid.
    Dees to have their noses in front in a tight one.

    Ok


    It was  a year ago this round we played freo and that started our first loss. 

    Lets hope for a better result today.

    "KIcking the dew off" is a classic old footy saying that refers to the first match of the day, usually in the morning, when the grass is still dewy from overnight.  I wasn't impugning your footballing talent.  :D

    The fog up here will be lucky to be cleared by 3pm today.

    We lost the game last year due to losing both May and Petty around half time, at which point we were comfortably in front. We’ll be fine this time around.

    Im hoping we have a solid win which will feed the confidence nicely for a belting of the bluebaggers next Friday night. Sets us up nicely for the KB game.

    A lot of talk about us losing this game last year. 

    We went on to beat them later in the year, relatively comfortably, at Optus. They were a better side then, too (but we had May and Petty didn’t get injured mid-match).

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
