    Now if 'Kiss' isn't incentive enough to get to big dance, I don't know what is. 🤟

    I saw Kiss last year (got a free ticket and only went to honour the memory of me when I was six). 

    I can tell you from experience that this band really needs a lot of explosions and a very dark arena to pull the whole thing off. 

    Going by the weather trends this year, I have a feeling the GF will be a warm one. Get ready for lots of high-definition  close-ups of some 70+ year-old dudes with black and white streaks melting down their faces, and with nary an explosion to hide behind. Could be “Meatloaf:The Sequel”. 

    (Mind you, I get a real thrill out of watching disastrous live performances, and thoroughly enjoyed Meatloaf’s set that year)

    Collingwood’s strong last quarters were viewed as a positive throughout the season.

    But it’s less than ideal to be habitually behind at 3/4 time. They won’t want to come that caper with us.

    This is the most bizarre stat…

    collingwood haven’t played in the rain in any of their 23 games this year.  

    Melbourne have played 6 games in the wet.

    How can a side go all year and avoid the rain? 

    in any case, Thursday night might be the first time all year collingwood have played with a greasy football.

    Definitely due a warm GF this year.

    2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 were all either 14 or 15 degrees in Melbourne. (Even the 2021 GF day was a cool day in Melbourne if memory serves...)

    We only had one wet game last year, Vs Freo at Optus.

    Yeah nah, can’t see the Club signing off on that. Waaaay too inflammatory for the delicate sensibilities of your average Dees supporter. “Be afraid, be very afraid”  (last week’s banner) is about as menacing as we’d get. Cut to 8pm tonight and I’m posting sneak peeks of this week’s banner which says “And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead” 🤣

    *That’s the name of a band so there’d be copyright issues, for one. 

    Shame, it's got a nice ring to it.

    Absolutely hammered down in Halls Gap in the morning ... not that has a baring on the climate at the MCG, but it is west, I suppose.

    The train hurts us becuase it negates the impact of our most impactful player - maxy.

    Hopefully Max isn't catching the train to the game.

    So are you less worried now if it rains? Surely our vast experience counts for something.

    I have seen kiss 31 times all round Australia    never disappointed   It will be a fun 4 song celebration         Now about Thursday  already nervous and very disappointed in the weather expected.    Max (whom I love is not much in the wet and he has alot of mates too)    Would have loved to see our real talent on show with a dry game.   Please just pull off a win in the slog.   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I read with interest in this morning's Age that Pendelbury was sprucing that the Collingwood unwashed faithful will make the MCG their Colosseum, presumably with the noise they make. We matched them on Kings Birthday for noise so lets make sure the boys hear us and make the MCG the Collywobbles "living hell".

    They have also been used to playing cox and Cameron and this will hurt them.

     

    Really good point.

    Maxy has less impacting the wet because he cant clunk his marks, and his ability to take contested marks around the ground is what makes him such a difference maker. 

    But taking thta strength away just means he has less impact - he still remains a brilliant athlete who can win his own ball and of course ruck brilliantly. 

    Cox and Cameron and average players in comparison to maxy. Neither have maxy's athleticism or ruck craft.

    And they won't be able to mark either - and without clunking marks both are bog ordinary players.

    Are you sure? I think their win against Port in Adelaide it rained or at least seemed like a slippery game.

    Why Kiss FFS?? There are literally  100’s of Australian Bands I’d prefer to see. The AFL are lucky the product is so good otherwise it’d be bust.

    Similarly, Darcey Moore said during an interview on the weekend that he thinks their 19th man will get them over the line on Thursday, their 19th man being the Magpie Army. Pfft, their 19th man’s got nothin’ on ours. Did he not hear our 19th man drowning out their 19th man on KB???

    The person who gave you the free ticket… I would’ve paid them to take it back.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
