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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
