Seriously?

You would go to a footy match you weren’t going to, because the Matilda’s are on the  big screen, when they are on free to air TV. 

Don’t think so.

Some people might come to MCG who otherwise would have stayed home to watch the soccer.  Doubt it's a big factor though.

No.

But if I was on the fence about going to the footy (which I'm not), a game which is on free to air TV too, and didn't want to miss the matildas game i might decide to stay home and watch both back to back on 7.

With it on the big screen at the footy, I might think, hey that's cool I'll go watch it at th g and then watch the dees.

Which is exactly what I'm doing.

Agree on that.

In fact I'm guessing, that with the weather, the matilda game might cost the blues 15k fans.

Plenty of fans, particularly anyone who hasn't bought a reserved seat will just stay home and watch item back to back in the comfort of their lounge room.

Time for the Dees to serve up a Lasagna Petracca with an Oliver on top for 70K tonight !

We will get the job done over these pretenders. Any talk about a Blues Flag will be sent down the Rivers...

We May have a slow start but will pull the Lever after HT and Van Ruin the Blues day !

Half way through the last, their fans will be Gawn.

Dees by 23

So a Good Win hey Wadda. 
Ok…I’m outta here, see ya all at the footy.

It'll get the bums on seats. Like Mick Foley winning the title in the Monday night wars.

I’ve enjoyed the fact that we’ve largely been flying under the radar despite the fact we’re 2nd on the ladder. After we take the choccies tonight the spotlight will well and truly be on. Games like this are a great tune up for finals, bring it on.

Lol.. more chance it's the 15k Dees fans not turning up, not blues. They actually turn up to games.

Blues fans actually/will turn up knowing full there's a chance to knock off another top 4 contender and put themselves in premiership contention.

Tonight's game will be a cracker - can't wait but also nervous. 

Pros

  • Gawn and Grundy will dominate tonight's game.
  • Apart from Cripps their midfield is tepid
  • I am hoping Kozzie tears the game apart - they have no-one who can go with him.

Concerns

  • Curnow. May has been far below his best for a while now. 
  • Weitering will blanket JVR (no way do they risk playing him on Grundy)
  • Cripps

Opportunities

  • Viney will love 2 teams going head-to-head over a contested game and will be BOG. 
  • Oliver is back. The best Dees player I have seen and I can't take my eyes f him when he plays. 

    Go Dees - by 16 points

Dees to step up a gear 

Melbourne by 30/40

Grundy kicks 3

Clarry ....."I'm Back !!!! " 

The muffled cry around town after the siren... from other coaches.. "[censored]" !!

Blues have had a good run.....until now.

They'll come at us...  let them. They aren't  us.

I shall be watching today's game at Fitzgerald's Sports Bar in Nana in the company of defrocked and disgraced Demonlander SWYL. 

We shall get outrageously drunk while celebrating both Clarrie's return and giving the blue baggers ( who, according to some local supporters, are apparently 2023 premiers) a dose of reality.

PS. A cultural observation. A lot of the sheilas around here have very husky voices - something in the spicy food, I suppose.

We’ll beat Carlton. 

We’ll apply even more pressure on Carlton than we did on Collinwood in Rd13.  

ANB is on the rise… It looks like he’s in great shape and has a lot of energy. He might have an opportunity to shine in this year's final series.

Go Dees!

Agree with you MX. I also thin that the Melk will rise again, against the Blue Baggers, becoming mobile again looking for space and trick shot opportunities. It is his greatest, sunsetting career chance prior to finals (and a berth therein) so Kozzie and Chandler need to action some feeding to him to keep the scoreboard ticking over. I'd reckon (not overly optimistically) that we will knock the Carlscum man-for-man and teamwise across the board by at least 20 points.

I didn't mean 15k dees fans wouldn't turn up.

I meant they are the home team, and get the gate receipts.

And I'm guessing the crowd will be up to 15k less than it might otherwise been if not for the maltidas game.

Hence my comment the matilda game might cost the blues 15k fans.

As in literally cost them in terms of reduced revenue.

Do dees fans turn up?

Well i do.

I know you live in the country dazzler, so it's a top effort by you to regularly get to games.

At least that's my assumption, otherwise surely you wouldn't be knocking dees fans for not turning up.

Are you going tonight?

And our crowds have been pretty good this season I would have thought, bar two or three games.

There were more dees fans at the tigers home game and pretty healthy crowds for the two previous games given the crows and lions are non Vic teams.

Let's see what the mcc looks like vis a vis how many dees fans turn up compared to blues fans.

It can be a little misleading on TV because the cameras face the shane warne fans where more oppo fans sit.

Yep,hilarious. Keep your wallet in a deep pocket in Nana soi 4.  Katoey plaza.  Even alot of the bar girls are in their 40's.  Those that couldnt win a farang husband in Pattaya.

I'll be over the river at my house. 

Go dees.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
