I feel good vibes today. I believe any residue draining away of bathwater has been completed and players will respond accordingly.

Bad Omen:mad::   Yesterday a flock of very large magpies arrived in my front garden.  First 2 then 3 then 6!!!  Haven't seen a single magpie in the street since moving here 6 months ago so where the heck did they come from!!!!  And why now!!!  Last week's confidence sapped.

Good Omen:cool::  Confidence returned last night with Elliot out.  In recent years we have only beaten them when he hasn't played.

Sticking with Dees by a heart-stopping 9 points.

Can't wait to get to the G!!

Up here in Cairns the White Galahs have beaten off the Black Galahs on Smithfield  Power Poles so i'm not sure what is going on there.

    Pies list of missing players will not be the deciding factor today. They recently (and historically) best us by being harder and stronger for longer all over the ground. Today is another big test for whether we can go hard enough for long enough against decent competition.

    Haha, girth. I'm sure it's fine!

    Possibly not as fine after today!

    Struck down with the lurgy this morning and can't go to the game!!!  😫

    This means I have an MCC members reserved seat and visitor ticket available.  No cost, I just want it utilised. Any MCC member without a ticket (and a friend to go with) that wants to go please dm me. First in best dressed.

    The positive posters know how long we were terrible for and as I said to another Melbourne supporter who was giving it to his Carlton mate last week, stay humble. We don't want to turn into Hawthorn.

    Agree 100% with this, would like this to be something which separates us from a lot of other supporter groups.

    Be known for our class and humility towards the others.

    Having said that, surprisingly the oldest boy although a Pies supporter is actually quite humble towards other groups, even Freo who he absolutely despises.

    I've just come back from a weeks holiday so I've missed all the pre game build up.

    But I have no expectations today. I think this game for me is more about Neale and the slide beforehand. Maybe that's because you get a laugh at them sliding down into the freezing water & it takes your mind off the game for a bit.

    I just don't want to see cox do anything so I don't have to hear the stupid USA chant

    Can anyone remember the last time we went into a game not as the bookies favourite?

    Imagine saying that sentence to your 2013 self.

    I'm worried that the likes of Maynard will target Van Rooyen today. Don't think Moore will but we know how undisciplined Van Rooyen can be and also he's still young and inexperienced 


    Jack Ginnavan a potential late out today.

    Free ticket/s still available.  Willing to split so even if not a MCC member, you can use reserved seat visitors ticket as long as you meet dress code eg collared shirt.

    I'm sure there will be plenty of loading up at the beer shop.

    Seriously though no idea, I'd imagine loads have increased though.

    Win lose or draw today, this round is a great win for the cause Neale is fighting and a wonderful future legacy. Thanks ND, we will with your efforts one day, beat this horrible disease.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
