Was randomly just thinking about how your brother was going at local level.

I had the same feeling against the Swans this time last year. We all know how that turned out

You got this mate!  One foot in front of the other!

Starting to think that the Pies form struggles are being exaggerated.

Smashed Essendon by 70 (sure, questionable opposition but if we'd done it we'd be confident), lost to Brisbane by 4 goals (it happens), beat Geelong with 29 scoring shots, lost to a red-hot Carlton but had more scoring shots (remember, we also lost to Carlton) when they arguably should have won. The only 'concerning' game was the Hawthorn one, but it appears at this time to have just been an aberration. They've been navigating some major injury concerns over that period too, which other than Naicos, are now resolved for them. 

Before that, they beat Port in Port and barely lost all year other than to us. 

It really isn't as unconvincing as everyone is saying?

Comparatively, we've had a far better scores against profile (with 3 tall defenders, which we have moved away from), but for long periods we struggled with Hawthorn, gave Sydney a significant run-on, struggled with North and barely beat Adelaide & Brisbane. I'm not sure we've been as convincing as people think either. Unlike the Pies, our injury issues have actually impacted us structurally at selection too, missing our best key forward and dangerous defensive forward too. 

The old "things are never as good or as bad as they seem" truism seems...true

Help, the MFCSS is taking over!

 Glorious colours, adorable pooches and a couch sprinkled with dog hair.  Picture perfect.  Add in the 2023 premiership cup and I am done.  Life is complete.

Every single Collingwood fan I've come across in the last 24 hours is confident and thinks they will win. This team has played 3 top 8 teams since KB and gone 1-2. We've played 5 and gone 3-2.

The overwhelming confidence is strange, give me the battle hardened path any day.

like Moses we will part the seas between those two fronts. 

nuthin surer

My grandmother passed away this morning so I’ll be a wreck win or lose tonight. Her favorite player was Kozzie Pickett, or as she called him ‘Aaron Davey’. Hoping he kicks a bag tonight for her!

It’ll all pass before the game starts I think. Think rain bands moving quickly W->E and N->S. 

For sure looking at the radar now, and importantly in time to make a smart decision about the sub and/or final team

My condolences. My grandma is also on her deathbed. It's a very tough time for a family to go through! 

I'm sure she'll be cheering on Davey, I mean Pickett, and he will have a great game! 

Ginnivan out helps us I think. One less small forward that can get off the chain. Hibbo to lock down Elliott. Mcvee to lock down Hill. We’re sorted then. Let’s grind these bastards to a halt and shut their supporters up.

There basing it on the players they had out when we played them king's birthday.

 

Every now and then these anxious flushes come but then I just do this to myself:

  • 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.

    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.
