I think Richmond will be desperate with finals on the line, I think they should have beaten us on ANZAC Eve but for inaccuracy/accuracy differential, I think their backline is capable, their midfield is not missing anyone and is batting deep and I think they have just enough avenues to goal in Riewoldt, Martin and Bolton.  If Lynch was playing I'd be even more pessimistic.

I also admit there's a bit of MFCSS vibe, and it's been there all week, even ahead of the upset results that make the win more important for us.  Sometimes "I got a feeling, a feeling deep inside ..."  I have money on Richmond little-win.

Hope we go with Hibberd as sub and give Smith a full game at Casey.

I also think a loss at this time is not fatal for any of the contenders - hell if it is, put your money on Carlton for the flag.  I will have a nibble at that though if Richmond wins.

I think you have indigestion @old55 🤣

Richmond will come at us hard. They always do but I think we’re building. I just don’t see us losing this one

 

Looking forward to beating Richmond only for Barrett to anoint the Tigers as the 4th or 5th best side in the competition.

Having a [censored] of a day ,didnt win tatts,no bread left for toast ,dropped mob phone in sink now not working ,so [censored] off.Hope richmond burst into flames to cheer me up .May to run over their number 8 like a ride on mower in the first 10 mins.Tried to buy new mobile on line tohard only thing they didnt want know was my jock size.Time for scotch no wonder i  drink god help me.Go DEES

 

We’ll win today. It’ll be a resounding win. It’ll be a memorable win. We won’t lose another match this year. We’ll finish second on the ladder at the end of H&A and our first final will be at the ‘G vs Brisbane and we’ll make Zorko cry, again.

Why? Because I said so, and that’s as good a reason as any.

GO THE MIGHTY DEES! ❤️💙

PS: some DA peeps are watching the Casey match today. They just reported seeing Clarry running, and running very well. They say he looks great.

Spargypants is also there.

Hope your day gets so much better, FD. BTW, what size jocks do you wear? Asking for a mobile phone company. 😁


Sounds like Smith to be the sub with @picket fence reporting Hibberd is also at Casey.

Unless there's drastic change to our team in the coming weeks then I think Smith has found his spot in our 23. The perfect sub.

Reckon it will be another test of my weak ticker today, no game is easy this time of year (except maybe against WCE)…us by 8 points

 

Looks like no Brodie Grundy for Casey.

Sub? 
Smith is due for a full game. He needs the miles in the legs.

Smith definitely sub.

Was doing captains run yesterday.

I’m quietly confident today but won’t lie I’d be feeling much better if Clarry and Fritta were playing!

Who wouldn’t? 

I’m outdoors at a little Thai place at the top end of Bourke St and they have a dish called Crying Tiger (tough). I’ll take that as an omen.

This thead is starting to have a few kinks in it!😵‍💫

I had a nightmare earlier in the year that they would beat us with a goal in the last minute. I awoke with a cold sweat. Sometimes a dream can have the opposite meaning which I hope is true.

I don’t see a problem with that. 😁

Just hope the players realise this round the umps are appearing to crack down on discent. We don't want to give Richmond any 50 metre penalties

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
