Famous last words. West Coast won't win a game, The Hawks are tanking etc. If the Melbourne player believe North are putrid we will lose. Any team can beat any team on their day. We all know what should happen today but how often do you see team thinking about next week "Carlton" because this week is easy. Respect your opponent or pay the price.

There's information and crossing times on the Derwent Ferries website:

Thx Wheelo. I’ve already cabbed it over and am ensconced at table in the sun at the Waterfront Hotel. Happy hour between 5-6pm for anyone on the late flight home.

Your comment is based on the premise we won't respect them.

We have the bit between our teeth now. The momentum is all with us. Players are playing for spots in a finals team.

I've no doubt we will respect North today, play well and beat them well.

New coach factor doesnt apply today. Clarkson coached Norff early in the season then spat the dummy and fled overseas.

No fiddling about or hollywood handpasses today. Get it  done dees and we'll be 2nd ---with any luck.

Thats the point switched on from the start. Oh and the welcome back coach will mean a lot to North players. 

The ground is looking good from here! I'm looking forward to the walk down to the ground shortly.

 

 


Hope to see a lot more from Jordan and Harmes today as this is probably the last opportunity (for one of them) to impress.

Dees by the length of the Derwent.

There will be a lot of red and blue around you soon if not already. 2021 it was 90% MFC in there.

The booth at the wharf no longer sell ferry tix to the game. Called up the operator and they didn’t know either! Said there’s supposed to be a couple of crossing before and after the game and it was free if you have a game day ticket. Couldn’t tell me any times though so none the wiser really. Will probably get a cab. 

I wanted to get the ferry a couple of years ago but it appears as if they operate in secret.

FYI the Waterfront Hotel doesn’t have Foxtel. To watch the Freo v Bears game after ours you’ll need to walk 20 mins down the other end of Clarence St to the Shoreline Hotel which has a sports bar.

The talk about his team not being good enough etc very unlike Clarkson, `I've never heard him talk his team down like that. 

  "We know we're still nowhere near good enough to compete with the really strong clubs in the competition"  

Gee we've got not chance now 😂


I would think the players and coaches are acutely aware of the ladder situation.

If we lose this game we are taking the absolute [censored]. This is a must win demolition job.

will be happy with a professional 42 point win

want to see petty and roo dominate as tall forwards again to bank last week's performance

our weight of power thru the midfield should be too much for the kangas you would think, but i'm not expecting to be quite as easy as last time we played them

I was trying to figure out the exact line it would take for North's percentage to drop below West Coast and it really shocked me as an illustration of just how bad both teams have been this season - I punched in some round numbers just to get a rough idea... we could beat North 170 to 45 (making their for-against 1350 and 2100) and it would only knock about 3 percentage points off.

And despite that, as always, respect the opposition because the margin from best to worst at this level is always small. Nobody is allowed an off day at the Olympics.

Lol... just ask Colliwobbles about it.

MFCSS    relax drink a bottle of whisky like i do.🤑


I hope this is like the Round 20 2021 game versus Gold Coast. We put the foot down in that game, after a tough opening 10 minutes. 

On route to the waterfront now for a couple of pre game refreshments. 
Let’s hope for a better start than last time we played North here. We were behind at half time with Tommo doing his ACL in first quarter. 
 

Dees by 45  with Petty to kick 4. 
 

Edit. Just looked at the betting odds for the above. $11. I’ll have a bit of that I think.

We will be in 2nd spot after the first 5 mins.

(Oh the arrogance) ....love it.

Go Dees

Plugger Petty to kick 5 !

The coach that was there for like 8 games then buggered off? I doubt they care.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
