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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
