    aaaaaargh!   Never mind. lol.

    Seriously , isnt Pink Lady the brand name or used to be of a certain street product in St kilda?  . just saying.

    This would be one of those things that happened when you were living overseas - we helped facilitate breast cancer awareness and some men were so secure in their sexuality that they could wear pink/salmon clothing. Still there are some that projected their own homophobic self hatred but that’s a history lesson for a different mirror.

    Wouldn't we have to travel if we come up against Brisbane or Port in the prelim? E.g. they finished higher on the ladder and so play a home game, or does us winning our Qualifying place us ahead of them from a home v away prelim perspective?

    If you win the QF you get a home Prelim.

    If you lose the QF or win an EF, the Prelim is an away game.

    If we win our first QF regardless of location and regardless of opponent, our Prelim is at the MCG. Even if the opponent finished higher.

    For those that have seen Laurie, could he potentially be the replacement for the Hunter wing next year and beyond?

    Don't think so. Has never shown that at Casey IMO. The more likely for that role is Woewodin

    I wonder if they will try to recruit Liam Henry for that position?

    I think more likely Blake Howes hopefully.

    Worrying the kind of first quarter Blues have just had against Suns. Hope we come out firing but as Binners said it was such a taxing game we could struggle early doors…

     

    we will win.omen. Went to the local bws this morning bloke behind the jump dead set ringer for  ED

    Not sure which JJ you're talking about. He certainly doesn't have pace.

    He’s quicker than you think!

    Who's going to be our sub?  Maybe Grundy...imagine that!

     

    (I know, probably Spargo or JJ, how uninspiring)

    This match is giving me nightmares. Imagine having to beat Sydney to stop Carlton from pinching fourth spot

    Hawthorn won’t fold the way GC did, either. 

    If we fall 40 down, all hell is going to break loose. 

    A good start tomorrow will do wonders for our hearts.

    With Carlscum winning in a close one today positions in the top 4 are heating up.

    Tomorrow is going to be massive.

    Destiny is in the hands of the Melbourne players themselves.

    We cannot underestimate Hawthorn.

    Yes, as mentioned by @titan_uranus, a good start is imperative as we need to take the umpires out of the equation.

    To quell any doubt I AM being serious. I'm sure AFL HQ would love us to lose this game for the theatre it would create in the final round. I may be wearing a tinfoil hat but it doesn't mean I'm wrong!

    So who do we think McGuinness will go to tomorrow?

    Whoever he goes to it will be a learning experience. Tracc or Clarry.

    played a fair chunk of time here at Casey

    Howes originally started as a winger at Casey before being pushed to HB

    Can see him taking this role on though no problems

    We can't afford to drop this game. losing 2 of last 3 games is just not flag winning form. 

    Hawks will be tough but we will win. We have to.

    I’m expecting a decent 5 goal victory!
    If we can’t be Hawthorn we don’t deserve a top 4 position.

    And we know Carlton are sniffing up our butts for the double chance. We have to win and win well. Not to mention it would be embarrassing to lose in Gawn’s 200th.

    Both Collingwood and Brisbane lost to Hawthorn.

    They don’t deserve it either?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
