Wake up to game day nerves.  I hate my MFCSS. 

I hear ya Roosty. Waking up on GameDay is never pleasant. I recommend you do what I do… say a lil prayer to the footy gods as you down *two coffees and a 600ml can of Red Bull. Works every time! Yes you’ll hit a wall just as the match starts but that’s when you initiate part 2 of Operation Pumped… sugar! Lollies and lots of ‘em! Any kind will do (I personally go with Skittles and Killer Pythons).

*three coffees minimum. I’m currently waiting for my third which will be ready once Vikram, the 7/11 guy cleans the machine.

Cheers!

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

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.

Fair enough. Thanks.  We may know by tonight

 

Gates open earlier than usual today (midday) because the Field Of Women takes place starting at 12:45. Y’all look out for me… I’ll be the one wearing pink. 🤣

Are/were you an élite athlete? That’s a pretty impressive and strict diet regime.

We'll win comfortably. 

God I hope so.

 

We just need to maintain our defensive structures reasonably well, and win more than our share of contests (just like we have for every other game this season except vs Essendon in Adelaide), and we beat the Hawks by 20 to 30 points.
Simple, but why the Hell am I so nervous?

Come on boys, get it done 🔴🔵

🤞🏻for a big crowd for Max 200 and Nibs 150. 


Taking the dog for a walk always calms the nerves. 

Win today and the double chance is ours and we are up to our eyeballs in this premiership race. 
 

 

Mitchell is showing all the signs of being a very astute coach, and this will not be an easy game. But I see a very tight first half, Dees slip ahead in the 3rd quarter, then continue the increase in the 4th quarter to win by 25 - 30 points.

Our full ground defensive set up will thwart their running midfield, and our mid sized and small forwards will be too much for their defence.

And we MUST NOT let Sicily play his won game. Smith to play on him, make him accountable in the air and on the ground.

Elite? The MOST elite! Those players have it easy compared to us. We make them look like they’re  having a relaxing stroll in the park.

The dog’s biased. He’s a hardcore Dees fan. 

I came to Thailand for spiritual enlightenment and I must say my stay in Bangkok has been wonderfully ..... err .... uplifting.

I have consulted my guru ( not Bob ) and I have been assured that the Demons will win today's encounter with the Dorks by 46 points.

You know it 😂

Last home H&A game of the year so bringing the kids and cousins along to this one. Everyone excited.

Sunny and benign conditions expected so looking forward to clean, sharp ball movement. No fumbles please. Goal kicking accuracy would be great as well.

He's in the hunt for coaches' award and Brownlow so I expect a big one from Trac. 30 possies and a 3 goal haul.

Too late. That ship’s sailed. I peaked at 6am. I’ll be fine for the match though, when I’ll get my 48th wind.

Even with 20/75 vision the dog could see THE BALL WASN’T TOUCHED!

 

If you don’t turn up today and choose to watch on tv instead (and you’re in Melbourne obviously), then shame on you. Final home game of the year. In the race for top 4. Captain Max playing his 200th. Weather is mild. 
Don’t be the sort of Melbourne supporter everyone laughs about. Turn up, make noise, and let’s bury those Hawks!

Memories of our start against North Melbourne, gets me worried.

They want to be up for some contest and tackles. Good chance of a finals like start, with some applied pressure, I reckon.

Cmon Dees, give us commitment and wanting it for 4 quarters, I would hate us to be choosing when to go.

I want to see Tommo cement a spot.

Clarry to boom.

Small forwards to have a day out.

Marks and clean footy, to win it for us, together with forcing turnovers.

Go Dees

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • 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.
