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!

Frees up a tonne of time though. No footy shows, no newspapers, no online articles etc. 😭

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
