Not at all confident. 
 

Clearly we all know the contest is where it’s all gonna have the most impact against the Lions. 
Question is which part of the ground?

with Petracca out of the guts and down forward more we really need to trust that the new group of mids will get the job done. Sparrow, Rivers Jordon et al are seasoned bodies and should physically match it with the Lions. 
But of course, after that there’s skill level…. and whether we have enough of that I’m not so sure. 
 

Draw somewhere in the 65 point range. 

Righto gang, not braggin' - just statin'. 

Enjoying an Aperol whilst killing time. Overnight ferry Brindisi to Corfu.

1020h game time in Grecia. I'll be listening (sun too bright to watch) and reading. 

Don't let me down guys. Saints coverage not bad. Hardly a Michaelangelo picture of the game but ...

Go Dee's ... happy to get the 4 points but 2 from JvR and Kossie would be nice.

Melbourne ... M. Gawn ... 3 votes.

 

 

I'm a little scarred from the start of the year where they just blew us away in the midfield until the lights blew out.  Hoping we can capture some of that magic from the final 10 minutes!

It's going to be a perfect night weather wise. no excuses for fumbling

Looking forward to watching the BB/JVR combo in action. Reckon they'll kick 6-7 goals between them with Trac chipping in with a couple.

Lower the eyes boys. Lower the eyes.

I have belief and reckon we'll win by 25 points.

Go Dees


Down from NSW for my fourth interstate trip. currently on 2 wins and 1 loss, hoping to add to the win column.

Ah Corfu, check out the cricket pitch in the middle of the town. Bizarre!

Very funny.

Wont be a game for silky skills.

 

Huge huge game.  Win it and we are likely top 4. Loss means likely battle and a 5-6 finish still could eventuate.  Strange to drop Grundy but in Goody we trust !! 

It's one of those games, win and The Lions simply can't play the MCG - lose and we are Just pretenders. Just take the four points " not you Petracca" and don't read the press.

What a game this will be.

Brisvegas are looking to gain street cred at The G and we must win to solidify a top four spot. 

Our defence must restrict them. A repeat of last week's form from May would be handy and we must keep a leash on Charley.

I reckon Petracca will spend more time at centre bounces and tonight's finals like game will draw the best from Viney.

Our forward line is the question mark. Someone must lead the way with a four goal haul. It's a huge test for JVR but hopefully BBB will snag one early and drag the heat. A return to form from Kozzie and we're certainties!

Friday night games make for a very painful trek from The Manor. Could someone please confirm whether or not  Dynon Road is fully functional?

The Manor's in house diviner has predicted Dees by 19.

🥳🥳🥳  GAMEDAY!  🥳🥳🥳

Us by lots

Catch the train y’ lazy old bastard. 


Big stage Friday night, the streets are watching Kozzie the time is now to unleash the fury. 

Time to send a message, a timely  reminder to the player haters that we are playing for keeps this year.

One, that would mean rubbing shoulders ( Urgh ) with plebeians - a fate to be avoided at all costs.

And two .... most horribly .... the terrifying probability  of the train picking up neanderthals at St. Albans!

No, I shall travel in one The Manor's comfortable fleet in far better company.

Hope we win in the ruck - no Grundy may change the psyche of Max

Max has struggled with tall, gawky ruck opponents in the past

Limit the influence of Neale and that other young kid (whose name escapes me - looks fairly suited to owning a long sword and drinking mead)

Presently feels like 9 degrees ....top of 14 and overcast all day with ye olde Melbourne eddy circling (again).

Cant get toast & Vegemite in bed let alone an Aperol from me lil storm cloud.

Really appreciate you not rubbin it in!!

THANKS Ollie!

😝

Confidence is low, but optimism is high.

I love and hate Friday night games for this reason. Win and the weekend is set up. Lose and you'll be annoyed for the rest of the weekend.

Hey! We ARE NOT neanderthals  here in snorbs. Meth heads? Yes. Shoplifters? Yes. People who sleep in other people’s toss-out? Sometimes. But we’re NOT Neanderthals! 

Besides, replacement buses on our line ended last night, we’re back to first-world travel!

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
