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

    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.

    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)

    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!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
