Had to wade through 20 pages on bf which was mainly bs about Collingwood, their changes and how to stop DeGoey going overseas and getting into more strife.  Have omitted all that rubbish.

Anyone would think they didn’t have a game coming up.  I’ve left out all the unsavoury comments about Oliver.

  • Carlton aren’t a great overlap side. They kept kicking straight to melbs zone defence. I think we are much better at providing run and overlap, and can exploit the dees using this
  • Coxzilla to put on a clinic in a massive game at the G. Loves the big occasion in front of the parents at the G does big Coxy!
  • So... Did Viney get looked at by the MRP or nah?
  • The key as always v Melbourne is to keep May and Lever busy and avoid kicking down the line to them
  • The Dees forward line is completely dysfunctional.  Our defensive system should make a mess of them.
  • This is a danger game for us, if Melbourne bring their best.
  • The game before the mid season is always a challenge - feels like this looms as a danger game for me with players thinking about the week off. I'm sure Fly and the coaches will manage expectations within the playing group but some real challenges around selection this week
  • It’s a bit unsettling as the past few years we’ve been the underdogs against this lot but this time we’ll be clear favs. They couldnt have been less impressive friday night but I’ve already seen in the media it’s their “mid year GF”. Seriously can these minnow clubs give us a rest from their manufactured pump up games
  • I think it was clear we weren’t running on all cylinders the past 2 weeks whether that was intentional or not. Time to get the “All duck and no dinner” anger back out again
  • Would be nice to make it harder for them to make top 4 as well, if we are top 2, the more interstate sides that finish top 4 the better
  • I don’t think we’ll select a side to match Melbournes forwardline.  More likely we’ll select our best back 7 and force Melbourne to adapt to that. If they go in undersized they’ll struggle with any long ball in the fifty.
  • Gawn, Oliver & Petracca had the ball on a string last time we played them, and we still beat them. Not too worried about this game, Melbourne are our bunnies
  • Be afraid everyone, Grundy has asked for the first bounce
    • Woohoo! First clearance to the Magpies
    • Might forget who he plays for and tap it straight to Pendles
  • Irrespective of the Ins and Outs this week, based on recent form and Melbourne's woeful performance last week, we should easily account for the Demons.
  • Yeah, I watched bits of that game and both sides were garbage.  Melbourne were only slightly better than Carlton.
  • Melbourne will be all huff and puff for the first 10 minutes and then we'll just smash them
  • Pies to once again, make Lever and May redundant as we always do. Miochek to kick 4. Pies by 17.
  • Lippa is a good in, but let's not build him up to be Chris Judd.
  • Have no idea on the ins, only thing I know definitely is that I can't wait to beat Melbourne.
  • Up there in my top three most despised clubs predominately due to their supporters!

 

My Favourite, sort of:

  • I tipped Melbourne by 20pts in my Tipping

 

This has been the most ungracious lot of opp comments I have come across since Essendon.  Not one ounce of respect.  Anyone would think they are the recent premiers!  I so desperately want us to beat them.  Wipe the smile off their sneering faces. 

Importantly we need to break the string of losses vs them before we meet them in the finals. Get a bit of the psychological edge back.

Reckon, we have this!!  Dees by a heart-stopping 9 points!!

This can't be real. Grammar and spelling is far too good.

FWIW They can take us lightly at their own peril. Happy to take the four points and their gate receipts.

Lol Coxzilla.

As if their game against the Blues was any better a couple of weeks back. It was Pies 8.5 to Carlton 6.13 after quarter time.

Totally lacking in humour on bf.

Most clubs offer something to giggle about!!

Leaving aside the comments about the dees, you'd reckon they'd talk a bit more about the impact of their outs.

Demonland would be if we were missing players of the quality of de Goey and Sidebottom, not to mention players like Mcstay, Elliot, mcreery and hoskin-elliot under an injury cloud.

They have been winning but their recent performances have been fairly ordinary vs bottom of the ladder sides:  Sydney, Giants, Carlton, North and Eagles.  At least we have had some good testing games vs Suns, Port, Freo and Carlton.

They get a lot of drive from Sidebottom and DeGoey and while they have good depth it will be difficult to cover both.  They also have to integrate a range of players from recent injuries, managing and suspension.  We are a lot more settled.

They did to some extent across 15 pages of bf!!.  I left them out as they were boring and were firmly convinced the ins would get the job done.

I don't think they will!.  Lipinski for one is yet to play a game this year and will be underdone.

Won't help their running game much if lupinski is under done.

On outs, we have really missed petty.

Sidebottom always runs amok against us and DeGoey is their best player imo.

No player's parents get mentioned more in the game right now than Mason Cox's. For reasons I can't explain.

They're not known as "The Filth" for nothing Luci.  It is an epithet that has been well earned.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
