Let me guess Ch7 will have BT, Luke Darcy and Luke Hodge on commentating tonight.

They’ll be barracking for Carlton…

Where does this BT hate come from? I re-watched the Collingwood second half and he was fanning our embers from early in Q3 - even though the Filth out-scored us in Q3. He was saying "4 goals, it's stlll very do-able". I don't get this argument that he's anti-Dee. I do get the argument that the AFL (and the Tribunal) are pro-Filth, though. Same as they are pro-Swans. (Like Keating says, never bet against self-interest.)

Fellow Minions and beloved d'landers attending the game tonight ... yes that's you....

Please ask yourself, are we just supporters or  can we add to this match as barrackers, just as we did on QB against the filth!

....I EMPLORE EVERY ONE OF YOU....TO STAND TOGETHER AS ONE MIGHTY DEMON ARMY TONIGHT.

I KNOW MANY ON HERE ARE ALREADY GREAT BARRACKERS AND NEED NO ENCOURAGEMENT

BUT LET'S LIFT THE ROOF OFF.

AS GREAT AS THEY ARE (and i'm one of them) DON'T LEAVE TOO MUCH OF THE HEAVY LIFTING TO THE OFFICIAL D.A. 

BE EXTRA LOUD TONIGHT NO MATTER WHERE YOU'RE SITTING (EVEN THE MCC) RIGHT FROM THE OPENING BOUNCE!!!!

LET'S GIVE THE BOYS A HUGE LIFT AS THE 19TH MAN AND BRING EM HOME

NO QUARTER TILL THE FINAL SIREN!

CARN THE MIGHTY DEMONS!

Say it clear 

Say it loud

I'm a Demons supporter 

And I'm fu..ING proud.

Sorting my timber stack, very similar to moving deck chairs on the titanic. Put timber there……back to here next month…….and so it goes. We shouldn’t have had to play tonight.

Turn the volume down on the TV and listen to the SEN Demons focused call. They have the regular one, the blues one and the Dees one to choose from

Nah, got lumbered training a new kid at work today. Is it just this kid, or are all 19yos slow and lazy these days?

Was he a high draft pick?

MFC 2021 Premiers Members pin fell off my jacket at the tram stop. Found the pin before the tram arrived. Feel like it’s an omen!

Our form was once lost but it can be found again…

Edited by OhMyDees

Getting a bit more nervous now. We lost to the team that finished 1st by 7 pts. Blues almost lost to the team that finished 8th. Surely we cover the Blues tonight?

 

Lovely day today. Looking forward to the g tonight. Hopefully it’s a better result and less vile crowd than last week.

Dees by 14 points.

Absolute opposite. The freeway into Melbourne is closed so will need to take a massive detour, going to be fun…


Who’s the likely sub tonight? Laurie really struggled with the intensity of the game last week, so it feels like we need someone with more experience or competitiveness.

20 point win. Beating the media narrative and Gil's wishes.

I’ve done way more work today than I did last Thursday in the lead up to the game. I call that a win.

Which freeway?

I reckon Hibberd fits that bill for tonight's sub.

Laurie not up to it.

Not since 2011 has a ruckman been a sub so it won't be Grundy.

I doubt it will be Schache. He could have been an option to relive Gawn throughout the game and then be subbed out at 3 qtr time, but not to be.

I'll grant that the paper baggers' supporters have a marginally higher level of personal hygiene and a lower level of incestuous relationships than  filth supporters and ..... probably more teeth.

Our banner isn’t at all concerned with the opposition. We’re using our space wisely, including a shoutout to Gussy and Hibbo. Oh, and THE MOST amazing graphic thus far. A montage of players: Kozzie and my absolute favourite inclusion… three of the “lesser lights” in Nibs, Smithy and Spaz. Not a Maxy, Tracc or Clarrie in sight. 😁

 

Great..that sounds cool as..especially Nibbler...and name checking Hibbert!!( go figure that one????)

I was only responding to the  "Voss...loss" post/ comment

Umpire News:

The umpires for this evening are,

21 Simon Meredith

22 Nathan Williamson

27 Andre Gianfagna

32 Jacob Mollison

These umpires did not officiate in either of the Melbourne v Carlton games in 2023

Three of them (21, 22, 27) officiated in our round 24 match against Sydney. The free kick tally in that game was Demons 18, Sydney 10.

Carlton have had Meredith 4 times in 2023, Williamson 4 times, Mollison 4 times and Gianfagna once.

We have had Meredith 3 times, Williamson 5 times, Mollison 3 times and Gianfagna 5 times.

Only bad omen I can see is that we had Meredith and Williamson against Essendon, but still managed to get 23 frees to 19.

  • 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?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
