    Carnage tonight.

    Expect T Mac to play like it is his last game and he has to go back to Edenhope tomorrow... 😍

    He looked good on the walk around of the ground

    Bigger than 80% of the team and a better hair cut than Fritta who, at least ,is out on the ground getting  used to a wet ball.

    First lightning and thunder and it aint the Pies

     

    According to https://www.lightningmaps.org Mazatlan in western Mexico is getting absolutely smashed with more than one bolt per second in a 10km box. But aside from sporadic action in Seymour, Victoria not getting hit much.

    I love that site. I used to play a fun little game of finding street webcams in areas where super-storms were hitting. Once I got to see a Ferrari-Mazerati outdoor car show get obliterated in Dubrovnik.

    This game can't start soon enough.

    Our last few months have been encouraging in that we've been able to ratchet up the physicality and pressure and ultimately overwhelm teams with it. That is something we had not seen for the prior 12 months (it had been happening to us in fact). It is much more like our 2021 performance. 

    We are going to get hit harder than we have been hit physically during this 3 year run tonight (starting with Max who they will smash physically by any means possible). Hopefully we hang tough for those first 20 minutes and give it back to them 10 fold.

    Laurie = sub

    I hope we have the right boots on. Our players slip over on a normal day so tonight I do not want to our players falling over 

    There’s only ONE type of modern boot I’m afraid — contrary to popular belief! Long stops banned many moons ago 😞

    Don’t the Ferals get the majority of seats in the AFL members area (which if to a degree offset by the number of Melbourne supporters in the MCC members area?

    Then presuming that the rest of the ground (excluding corporates etc ) would be 50 / 50

     

    Will be 53/47 dees way due to MCC

    I feel like we picked our best team, Pies have reacted to us, not the other way around, but must admit the wet worries me.

    Cox selection is a hail mary, Viney needs to murder Cox early , preferably he gets sandwiched between Kozzie and Viney going full tilt.

    Dees in the wet ???  Not good. Giants rolled us this year.  Our skills are 50/50 Cat Kitten GIF

     

    Be lying if this wasn't a concern.

    But they may be too tall and slow in the wet.

    Seriously nervous now, heart is racing. We picked a team for these conditions, they picked a team to beat Gawn. We will win.

    We are, according to tradition, the fine and dignified Anglican wing. Though in true Anglican spirit we are happy to compromise and welcome anyone to the fold if it will get us [censored]. I mean, that's the whole original point of that church, right?

    47 minutes to go. .. .. ..

     

    Oof I estimate a total of 50-100 teeth got off that last tram…

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
