I’ll caveat the following that I’m extremely nervous and that any team can honestly win it from here. Carlton are a great team, but with many threats from friends of 🎾 emojis (straight sets) incoming if we lose, I’ve got to believe the following…

Dees by 36

Defence: May and Lever to dominate. McKay and Martin are massive outs. Martin is targeted more inside 50 than any other player.

Midfield: We’ll have ruck advantage with TDK likely having to spend more time forward to fill McKay’s role. Carlton’s midfield has the tilt though.

Forward: We’re down on stock, but if we can lower the eyes and stop the high entries, I think our strategy of playing small will beat their tall defence.

Hoping the Dees to open strong in 1Q, expect an arm wrestle 2-3Q, then a blow out 4Q.

Turn it up. They haven't won a premiership in 28 years and won one final in the last 10 years.

    So.... who's booked their flights to QLD?

    My dad asked me this morning if we should go. I told him we are not to speak of it until after the game tonight.

    And that win was last week, when we haven’t won one in 2 years! Historical stats like yours and mine can be abused.

    Objectively speaking, they’ve won 9 of their past 10 games which included beating Collingwood and Port Adelaide. As they sit right now they have a great midfield and defence, and therefore they are a great team.

    I genuinely believe that we are better. Still doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate who we’re against.

    Yeah, that's the way to go I think.

     

    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.

    Where can I listen?

    I listened to some comments from him on Whateley, was pre-team drop, but still very relevant and insightful. 

    Not super surprising obviously, he talked about us needing to be more daring, going for the extra handball/few metres in going forward and risking a few more turnovers. Said Langdon was his magnet this week. Was interesting, would be good to see him make more of an impact, he's certainly due. 

    Just back on tech after a week on an island in Fiji. Will enjoy my next Collingwood match live, so I can throw a hot pie at Maynard. Watching at the bar tonight in Denarau.. love you beautiful people.. Go Dees!!

    Just saw the highlights from our 2000 finals win against the Blues, on the AFL FB page

    Was great to see that - good comeback and some really lovely delivery into the 50 that day! Would be good to see some of that today. Hopefully no need for a comeback! 

    Also another reminder that Neale squeezed the absolute most possible out of that team.

    Since the final siren last week I have been dreading tonight's game but something in me flicked this morning as the game got closer... 

    Through all those dark years all we as supporters dreamt of was been apart of finals & games like tonight...  The players saw one of their mates get KO'd 5 mins into a final then we played one prime midfielder short for the game, all of this on top of outplaying the premiership favorites for 3 quarters & really with a bit of luck should have pinched the game.

    Everyone crapping on about Carlton & their hot form, we should have beaten them (well we did) then they fell in against the GC then lost to the Giants & were average for large parts again Sydney last week... I see no reason why we don't get the win tonight then give Brisbane a huge shake up next week, this side won't go down easy.

    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. 😁

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

    Because he's not an AFL level footballer, let alone a finals player.

    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 sure there are plemty on here...i'm also one of them albeit nothing like the full on serious players that lead them like Ryan, WC etc) 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!

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
