Just watched the 2000 Melbourne V Paper baggers on Foxtel with the volume up quite loud. I missed it back then as I was in Brisbane for work and recall being warned by the hotel management to keep the noise down as neighbours were complaining. After singing the song with the team I woke up around 10:30 pm wondering where I was. Oh dear.

I made a comment during the game and just watching it again now I said the same. Malcolm Blight just really HATES Melbourne and puts us down every time. His anti- Melbourne stance is repeated today with the current crop of commentators. Frustrating to listen to ( looking at you Brian Taylor) but just why? I realise we have been c--p for years but playing good footy now. Oh well the best we can do is keep winning and that will erk them even more.

    At least no-one has posted anything about Kozzie's winning goal last year this time. 

    The time is right now 

    So good. So good.

    One mate is messaging me saying Gawn is a late withdrawal.

    Another is saying Yze has got the Richmond job. 

    Can confirm Richmond job is no decision as yet but between Yze and Mini. Yze's preso was apparently outstanding.

    I hope Yze has got the job and thus can focus on this game. 
     

    I think it was Sanderson that mentioned that he thought Goodie needed to visit the box last week so he could more quickly see how our shallow entries were allowing their rebound game. 
     

    Made me think that perhaps Yze has been distracted with interview prep etc. the past few weeks.

     

    I hope your friend is wrong Max 😬

    My tip is that Schache will be the sub. Provides coverage for Gawn and is a better forward than Grundy. Unless we can't mark anything in our forward 50, I suspect he'll get subbed in late. Maybe even for Gawn if we're 5 goals up.

    Schache has all the skills and ability   but does not take enough agreession pills

    The rumour of Gawn being a late withdrawal will not die a death.

    In reality Gawn would have to have one of his legs amputated in order to miss tonight.

    Even then Goodwin wouldn't play Grundy.

    On a lighter note,

    Where are the MFC rooms ,are they permanent or do they get shafted from one room to another even though its our Home ground.

    I noticed on Facebook a dees supporter filming dees running out from the cricket pavillion end or Ponsford stand last Thursday night.

    Stand looked half empty. I thought we ran out from the Members wing but i havent lived in OZ for years.

    Games that i have watched o/seas dont show the pre match run outs.

    We are the home team I presume as we finished higher on the ladder. So usual rooms.

    Go Dees!!

    Hahahaha, you should be a barrister, a lawyer or a fortune teller.

    So youre saying Dees dont have their own permanent change rooms. They take what theyre given on the day according to home away status.

    Sounds about right for MCC\AFL.

    Hopefully the first half isn’t like last time where we’d bomb it out of defence, straight too Carlton defenders set up behind the ball. 
     

    They’re going to do that again so Hopefully Goody has a plan to work around that and we can force them to change their set up early days. 
     

    Cmon Dees!

    That's just because most are arriving at the G in the Range Rovers. 

    In the Range Rovers we probably outnumber them 20:3 as well, so all good.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      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.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
