We simply must win. There is no ifs buts, or maybe‘s.
This is a must win as it is the following week.
I feel as though we’ve all been getting comfortable, thinking that as long as we get a double chance, it doesn’t really matter where we play the MCG, Adelaide Oval or the Gabba because we reckon we go alright at those grounds… foolish mindset  

Sneak under the radar with a regulation win or absolutely belt the Hawks and make people raise their eyebrows?

    Bailey Laurie.  2 games for 8 possies.  Time for a PB to make the FD look smart and me stupid.  No harm in hoping.

    Better option than Jordan, who would have been the alternative and is totally out of form, or Spargo, who doesn’t get much of it either despite being a lot more experienced 

    This thread is designed to tell fellow Melbourne fans how important this game is! Failure to do so will result in demerit points!

    We ? The fans? The club? We were on a winning streak until a [censored] goal umpiring soft call in a match befitting of a prelim. Where are we getting comfortable? Save that line if we come out lazily and lose v Hawthorn please.

    If you mean we as in us fans, well it's a psychological defence mechanism isn't it? Trying to be positive and make the most of a difficult situation with potential interstate travel.

    Four Points. No injuries. Is that too much to ask for?

    Getting greedy Rab...😆

    It feels like this year, there are so many more matches than usual that go down to the wire. I am not sure if this is statistically correct - and I expect most of this match it will be 15 points to either team most of the match until the last few minutes again... sometimes it feels all a little contrived.

    This year has shades of 1990 about it where there is no one standout side. I feel we blew an opportunity to bag a flag that year and hope history doesn't repeat itself. I was super confident until Harry Petty's injury.

    I have a sneaky feeling that Kozzie Pickett might just turn this one on its head.

    We don't make life easy for ourselves unfortunately. I expect nervy affair.

    Their youthful exuberance against our battle-hardened experience. Close for 3 quarters but we'll pull away in the 4th to win by 20 points.

    Hoping Bill Laurie can contribute and show us what he can do.

    Go Dees.

    Last home game, Maxy's 200, Nibbler's 150th.  Why won't he. 

    I don't know much about Laurie but I wonder if the MCwant a look at him pre-finals just in case???? 

    Anyone theories on his selection from anyone on here?

    So we want the Hawks to put in a shocker this week and then have their best win of the year next week.

    Pretty simple.

    Laurie has been playing well for Casey, but I am surprised we picked him for this game.

    Maybe we want to give him a chance to see if he stays or goes, maybe we wanted someone with good foot skills, or maybe we just wanted something a bit different, to see if it gives us a spark.

    In other words I haven’t got a clue.

    We simply need to win.  If we don’t, it tells us a lot about where we are at just before finals (that would not be a good place).  We play these sorts of teams well, if we hold our defensive structured it should be a clinical result for us.

    Maysy will be in the defenders ears this morning:

    Gesticulate wildly like you’ve touched the ball, even if you’re nowhere near it, and

    Slap the goal post to take the edge technology out.

    Do those 2 things and we can’t lose.

    I’ve been thinking that we need to make a good start to the game after three consecutive games of slow starts but recent history over a number of matches is telling us differently. 

    And I don’t understand the negativity of some people given that of all the teams in the competition, we have the highest percentage at this late stage of the season.

    So, I’m confident that we’ll be in front at the end of the day

    I agree entirely. I have always thought that 1990 was the one that got away. And I also was completely confident with Petty in the form he was in. 
     

    Now we need to make a statement to the rest of the comp - we need to win with authority! And then TMac in next week to provide at least an option.

    Anything better than Heading to the G on a lovely August day?

    We are top 4 and have a genuine chance to win our 2nd flag in 3 years

    Our premiership captain is playing his 200th game

    How good is life?!

    • 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.
