    Anyone else a bit concerned that we are going in too small? Especially given that it may not rain as much as predicted?

     

    Changes from 2021 GF team - out BBB, Jackson, Petty and Spargo. In - JVR, Hunter, Chandler and McVee. Much smaller team.

    Not really, I think the Pies are going in a bit tall.

    Think they were still talking about the effects also of rain mate. Strong westerlies will prob bring the rain quicker.!!!

    Won't they ?  

     

    I see a lot of nervousness in this thread, but I’m that confident we’re gonna roll them I’m not feeling any anxiety at all. Weird feeling to have as a Melbourne supporter.

    Yeah - I'm talking about the rain and the wind cobes...might not be

    heavy rain but the winds look strong to me....


    I feel nauseated, excited, scared but hopeful. I will be there tonight with my Pie supporting husband who is convinced the Pies will thrash us. I just hope the weather Gods are kind and we are accurate in front of goal and a real bonus is if we can keep our feet if the surface is a bit slippery. I also wish nothing but pain and suffering for Cox, Maynard and Ginnivan.

    Keep a lid on it Jane and hopefully you get to enjoy the smug satisfaction of rubbing it in for the next few weeks after the game :)

    Agree Grumpy if we had the GF team we would be a bit taller and prob too tall. 

    Happy with Juddy Chin Hunter and JVR. Providing the three small/ mediums dot do a Kossie and fly unrealistically ( not one mark yet I can remember since he started his attempts at MOTC ) Century) is he due tonight? Happy if Goody bans him trying. 

    Much better at ground level and JVR and Jacko about even. If JVR can clunk more then 2 he will have scored 3 goals probably!!!

    Advantage us !!!

    A thought.

    Ahead of Round 1 there was plenty of talk about the Dogs' 4 talls forward line - Naughton, Lobb, JUH and Darcy. And how would we stop them? 

    Stopping them wasn't a problem. (Yeah,I know the filth are a better side.)

    I am happy with them too. Just think we need one more tall. Not sure who though - Tommo a bit slow, Disco a bit green and Grundy one dimensional. 

    I don’t think it’s going to be wet. I think we’ll get a shower and it’ll pass quickly. The front is preceded by a thin rain band. Both the front and the rain band are tracking South West. Most of the heavy rain will hit Portsea and Bass Strait. Obviously the many retired Demons down in Portsea will be snug with their superannuation, cash, property and share portfolios and will likely not even see the rain. Although looking out over the Bay from the cliff top may leave them with vertigo. Cheers to all, leave the poncho’s at home.

    Yep I am a bit.

    After the Freo game, we were found out in defence by only having May and Lever as tall defenders. Since then we've gone with either Tomlinson, Petty, Turner or Smith as that third tall defender. Smith was that third key defender in the Carlton game which we lost before he was sent forward late.

    Can only imagine Smith will be a defender tonight.

    Solved play Laurie who will be perfect  as the sub in these conditions. 

    Tmac JVR Fritta Gawny Trac all good in the air and ground.  Plus all the smalls and mids up forward and Centre. 

    we have almost over anslysed for experts. Let's leave it to the amateurs like Goody and his six pack!!!

    The narrative the whole year has been playing our best football right now. Let’s hope they got it right.

    If the predicted wind comes (40 k before the rain), I expect the wet to pass quickly. Hope it blows itself out.

    It won't be a wet weather slog, more a dump making for a slippery ball and surface, then it clears.

    My little rain optimism from yesterday is fast disappearing with some very ominous looking dark clouds approaching Ballarat from the west.


    Forecast much better than it was a day or two back. It won't be overly wet tonight and won't really be much of a factor now.

    We'll win a hard fight tonight. Petracca and Viney to bulldoze this one. Trac to notch up top votes for the Gary Ayres best player of finals award. He is primed and looked ominous last week against the Swans when the whips were cracking.

    Just looking at some Coll games.

    In 9 games this year they have been behind at 3/4 time.

    Amazing for a team that is so "dominant"

     

    We've got this.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      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.
