Every forecast I’ve looked at says rain will be in the morning. 
Also it’s Melbourne. Chances of this forecast being correct 6 days out is 0%. 

You may be able to trust the forecast on Thursday morning, and that's still a 50-50 proposition.

    The app I use has five different forecast models that all show it’s going to rain at some stage during the day / early evening.

    The one that tends to be more accurate indicates right now that there will be rain from 2pm to 6pm….. at this stage. 

    I find that I have been stressing about the weather forecasts more than anything else at the moment, and there are still five sleeps to go!

    Finals are all about execution on the day. I am grateful for the opportunity the club is giving me to make myself sick with anxiety and trepidation.

    But I can live with being beaten by a team that can execute better on the day - but after last year - we are due to be on the winning side of that ‘execution battle’…

    We look fit, our best players are at least fit with only two adjusting to long breaks out injured, and we are in form with what we are good at - contest and defence.

    Can somebody rip the Yank's goggles off?

    Put their knees into him like he did to Max QB2022? I despise him, he's a bog ordinary bully.

    Cox like playing against us, and doesn't have the worst record. I could see him troubling us in the air. Pre Steven May, he certainly did. I hope they don't play him. I think they will though.

    This is a major concern. Dees have pretty much lost every game this season when raining. Our back line pillars go to mush. I’m hoping that the meteorologists are off considering it’s still another few days away

    Aside from Nick Daicos probably missing, Pies are at full strength.

    My left leg has been playing up so all signs point to a dry spell.

    Well now it says rain up to 4mm and to finish by 4pm 🤷‍♀️

    I wouldn’t think about the weather until hours before the game as it’ll change 12 times until then

    I wasn't really devastated missing out last year like I should have been. I think I was still high after the flag.

    Agreed. Too far out for an accurate determination.

    What day does the team get announced ?

    Johnson hurt himself yesterday in the VFL. He is a depth player for them. Wasn’t playing very well, I thought.

    Didnt he damage us one particular game? I might be wrong but the name rings a bell.

    I would think they'd name teams for our game on Wednesday and the other teams on Thursday.

    Every time I look, the weather forecast for Thursday gets crappier and crappier.  Not good.

    This post may be written in jest, but I really don't like it. Cox wears his glasses to stop him from going blind from another eye injury. It's OK not to like him, but let's not wish him a serious, life-changing injury.

    I wouldn’t have thought anyone who played yesterday would be in consideration for Thursday, just an opinion

    Spargo is firming as a possible selection in place of TMac in my opinion. (assuming wet/greasy conditions) Looking windy as well. Not great for our high forward bombs

    Pity that Schache hasn't come on.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
