    A win takes the team to 64 premiership points that is a good omen.

    Hate to say it, but I think we have better flag chances if we take it easy today, no injuries and are in better shape for Collingwood at the G, than bursting our boilers trying to beat Sydney, who really want to win (causing greater injury and niggle chances) then the Lions at the Gabatoir.

    That is such wonderful news. Many of our losses this year have been in wet or damp conditions

    What a cracking day here in Sydney, been looking fwd to this all year, slightly disappointed it may be a dead rubber but we’ll take it as there was no game in Sydney last year. 
    Excited to see how our fwd line will operate, all of our fwds on their day throughout the season have kicked multiple goals. Both Fritsch and Melksham should prove a headache for the opposition.

    Not sure how we approach this game 

    Clearly we want to go into finals with another scalp but the final quarter may require players to be protected somewhat.

    The interest factor for me is how Fritta and the other forwards go today.

    Sydney’s public transport has nothing on Melbourne’s…..

    Although the airport train is pretty handy!  Especially for avoiding peak time traffic

    This is the x factor for me. How it will be difficult to cover both Fritta and Milk. Maybe even Smith. Yes we won't be tall but we will be super mobile. Also keen to see if Tmac gets a run.

    No chance of port losing to the tigers

    So play hard, go for the win but don’t kill yourselves.

    Huge game for the Swans

    Lose and they potentially play Carlton away in finals

    Win and they play home to Saints

    plus Buddy farewell.

    Reckon the Swans will be fired up at home and beat us. They’ve got a home final to play for. We’ll give a decent account of ourselves but ultimately fall short and have key players spend long periods on the bench.

    In opposition to the top dog, @binman, I'm expecting us to free the shackles and I think we'll allow this game to flow free a bit, to minimise the crash and bash, and we'll also be psychologically freed to play with less fear of failure given the double chance is locked up. Additionally, it'll give us a chance to defend faster ball movement in preparation for Collingwood. 

    It'll be interesting to see which way we go, I'm expecting us to win it though, and we won't want to head into a QF off a loss.

    Swans are pathetic at scg. Their record isn’t great. They have a real issue in that their home games are played on a postage stamp and the big games are on mcg. Essentially they need 2 different games styles.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

      It’s Game Day and the Demons return to the scene of the crime to take on the wooden spooners.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
