The Blues season is on the line and their captain and coach have been in the firing line all week. If the Dees cough this one up the media's crosshairs will do a 180 and will surely be directed at the Demons who have only won 13 games from their last 25 outings. This is a must win game for the Melbourne Football Club too.

    Kozzie to ⭐️ on this special day… his 22nd birthday!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOZZIE! ❤️💙


    Better to let Grundy and BB do the ruck, give Gawn a break, he's tried.

    How Van Rooyen continues to get a game over BBB I find mystifying!?

    Why BBB wasn't put straight back into the Ones instead of having to do Re-Accreditation 101 equally so.  He'd had a great start to the year... can surely  bolster our (against top sides) pop-gun attack.

    It better not be close like last time.

    Time for fritta to step up tonight. Van Rooyen needs to show something & have no idea how Smith will go. Kozzie also has to do his role and actually contribute on the scoreboard.

    We need the win. Go boys

    Can’t afford to lose if we want to make top 4. Carlton are a rabble but we look like we’re running through trickle lately. It won’t be high quality.

    I think we’ll win but I ain’t confident.

    If we lose, it’s probably kiss goodbye to top 4 hopes.  We’d go into the 5th to 9th pack with tough games v pies and Cats. Don’t want 7-2 start to suddenly be 7-7 and outside the 8 🤬🤬🤬🤬

    I think we definitely win.

    But I expect them to come out pretty fired up with the media build up during the week and a fired up Patty Cripps

    Good morning gameday.

    Think tonight will be a tight slugfest with us getting over the line.

    I thought last week was a certain win but we kicked ourselves to a loss. 

    This week I reckon Tommo back will add much improved structure down back. I just hope we can find some structure at the other end.

    I have a feeling we'll kick away in the second half after a close start..

    Sadly though, a well earned attack of gout will confine me to The Manor. I'll be an armchair expert tonight

    You wouldn't be a Melbourne supporter if you weren't seriously nervous about this one!

    One point or one goal, I'll be happy with any margin!

    A lot’s been made of Carlton’s extensive injury list but it’s more quantity than quality.

    They still have their midfield class in Cripps, Walsh and Cerra which is better than our midfield that’s missing Oliver. Meanwhile Curnow and McKay can be dangerous on any given night.

    The Pittonet injury is the most significant for them, but having said that  Gawn/Grundy couldn’t take advantage of Jackson on his own last week.

    Carlton do not have a premiership player as a ruckman 

    we should win the centre ruck.  Win the smaller guys as well.  We win !

    Reckon we will go ok.  Sit someone on Sard wonder soap, win the middle and we got this.  Dees by a handy 33.

    Tells you where the Coach thinks BBB is at and he is probably not wrong.

    Not sure how our fwd line is threatening expecting a 20yo JVR who still learning his craft as our main power fwd?? So we need Fritsch to fire incl goals from Pickett , spargo & rotating rucks of Gawn & Grundy. what’s J Smith role a fwd very unconvincing..  BBB want improve @ Casey as he’s past improving so need to roll the dice with him

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
