Good to see you back on here mate.

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

Thanks mate

He’s going great. Coaching Moe and they have a real shot to win the flag this season which they haven’t done since 1967.

    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…

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
