It's D Day! The sun is shining!☀️

It's a year on since we were bundled out of the finals at home... 

...IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN

We're such a good side that even our classic/frustrating 1-2 qtr efforts have been enough to see off competitors. Most losses, we have beaten ourselves, or been dudded by ARC. We have dealt with limited/no forwards, so much so that we had to tap into a (seriously good) oldie but a goodie in Melk and a backman to keep us going. Even without them we have found ways to win. 

We will be propelled by a desire to right last year's (and indeed last week's) wrong. We will be fuelled by Gus. We will continue our quest to add another premiership for this amazing club. 

Won't be easy, the Blues are travelling well. Just needs buy in from everyone. Heart. And fire from the first bounce. 

I've had my ups and downs this week since Thurs, but we're here now and it just feels right.

Dees by 19 pts. 

Love it. Can you please post that again in audio, together with the Melbourne theme song please? I will then play it on repeat for my 2+ hour trip to the G today. 🤗

    The ruck situation.

    We have a ruck that gets better with more game time.  The 10 percent of time Gawn doesn't ruck, tmac  smith or even Tomlinson can go in.

    What do you do bring in some one that is ineffective up forward to ruck for 15mins a game

    Melbourne need to come out fast and angry. Tackle relentlessly and apply the pressure that we're admired for. Carlton will buckle.

    Does anyone know if  Tricky Gil has appointed umpires known for their love for Carlton AKA Curnow?

    Id put nothing nothing past that fake administrator. Why is he still hanging around. I still havent heard Dillon speak. His he a deaf mute?

    Goodwin won't win ...again  ( blues banner)

    Do better to concentrate on the opposition 22 imo

    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. 😁

    We have the distinct displeasure of having Nathan Williamson (#22) officiating tonight. So get ready for Free kick, Carlton.

    I always look forward to the banner @WalkingCivilWar. Right up there with 'Max the Magnificent' rolling into his right boot from just outside the hotdog stand and slotting one to drive the death nail into the Carlsum coffin.

    And hopping Kosi does the same tonight . . . I'll loose my sh&t either way.

    Surely Schache or Grundy sub right???  Why do we have Schache if we didn't put him in this week FFS??!?!

    no idea why we have Schache on the list. But he should not get near the senior team, especially in finals

    Getting huge vibes of us vs Hawthorn semi in 2018. They are where we were and we are walking wounded and arguably on the decline, as Hawthorn were. I hope I'm wrong.

    The great sports photographer,  Michael Willson, has an exhibition of his work currently. I would pay to see one with pic of the of the Demon Army banners over the years. 

    True artistic genius. 😘

    We’re hardly on the decline, we’ve got a great list with plenty of youngsters, amazing draft picks and Shane McAdam in the way. Plenty to be excited about.

    We must play like there’s no tomorrow, because there is no ‘tomorrow’.  If we’re all switched on to this mindset, and play as a team, we will win. I know we have it in us, we just need to produce it.  Dees by 9 pts.

    I kinda am, Jaded. I just need to think about the sun and I’m burnt to a crisp. There isn’t a sunscreen on the planet that can protect me, unless someone’s invented SPF10,000 overnight. As a fellow-ranga I’m sure you hear me, amirite?

    So cool to hear feedback like this. And now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to tell my comrades what you’ve just said. 😊

    It was all set up for us.

    Had we gone through to the prelim we were playing either a banged up Port Adelaide or GWS giants off a 6 day break. 

    This is why I'm not one bit confident tonight now. Just think the players will be mentally cooked from last Thursday as well as the emotional tool from the Brayshaw saga.

    I’m confident we’ll win and I’ll be happy, but not excited. For me tonight should be a formality considering our list and experience. My excitement will return should we bother to show up against the Lions.

    yes   must avoid the reputation of soft in finals ..  which we are not but the outside world will think that

    Wow mate you are in for disappointment if you think this is a formality.

    They have a terrific list, several gamebreakers (Brownlow medallist, Coleman medallist) and have lost one game in 3 months. 

    What is it Super funds say? Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance? It's no wonder they need to say it so often, people just assume the status quo will continue forever. 

    I’m not feeling it today, the Blues have that intangible quality atm that drives teams to win. Funnily enough I think we’d go much better against the Bears than they would. This is a game we really wanted no part of.

    Agreed, however I did say “should be” a formality.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
