No sign of WCW on here yet,shes probably on her second pack of fags by now

Is her full-time job stalking the MFC playersย

I hope we can settle into this game a bit earlier then the last two games. More for our collective nerves then anything else.

We certainly don't want to let them get the clearance/stoppage dominance they got in the first half of last years game!

Dees by two goalsย

    I believe so

    I don't like Thursday MFCSS symptons. Neales 250th game has me worried.

    LOVE THISย โค๏ธ

    I was so happy for the boys - it felt like one of those galvanising games and great to get one back from the Lions after the 2022 final.ย 

    So many involved, but how good was it for Melk to have his moment? Completely deserved it. Such a quality footballer and seems like a real nice guy, too. Can't wait to have him back.

    Oh and I still love Hipwood trying to claim that final mark!!ย ๐Ÿคฃ

    Sadly it appears Salem may of passed his best. Injuries and other issues may of caught up with him. Personally I'm holding judgement until writing him off as he's a one of our smartest footballer's. We can probably adapt his role to make him more than useful into the future.

    Agree with those wholeheartedly. For a combination of reasons, he hasn't hit form since the end of 2021. I'm not writing him off and agree there's still value in him, but not in the defensive structure.ย 

    Anecdotally, he also has seemed far more adverse to 'contact' over the past 18 months or so too.ย

    This has been doing the rounds all week, if true is balanced in part by Lachie Neales crook ankle he is not 100% fit either

    Apparently Bailey is under an injury cloud as well.

    Yes, when Melk went down the flag hopes where gone, theyย  try andย  say, it's our culture is why we went out inย  straight sets,ย  how about having all our forwards either injured, or suspending or coming back from a long term injuryย

    Please everyone who is going can they barrack as twice as loud, because I am unable to go because my back is putting great pressure on my groin, which is causing a lot of pain, and making it hard to walk. I am using a walker to walk, and taking pain killers. I am seeing a physio who is very happy with progress. Too hard to go with walker, and I doing exercises and plenty of walking to get better. This is the first Melbourne game I have missed at the Mcg for many years.

    Hang in there Ditcha, get well soon!

    ABSOLUTELY!!

    We'd have another flag if Melk and/or Petty didn't get injured.ย 

    Aside from having those guys injured right before finals, and Fritter clearly not 100% - it would have been incredibly disruptive for the team to have to continue to move magnets/adapt strategies before/during finals.ย 

    Our forward line is already looking better, even though it's only still settling. Imagine 2-3 months with Petty/McAdam finding rhythm, and then Melk to return in good time to find his feet and form for finals.ย

    Much overlooked, particularly by our own. Had those Carlton & Collingwood games been home & away, the boys would have been lauded for running them so close under the circumstances. But "straight sets" is the sexier headline. It also fuels the MFCSS. Sometimes I reckon we'd have got more credit if we'd lost each by 10 goals instead of a few points.

    I don't think Melk will get back in, and if he does, then we might be in trouble, that will mean there is a lot of injuries,ย

    Still intermittent rain here in South Yarra.ย 

    Forcast indicates that it will clear soon.ย 

    Hope it's cold enough for the Northern team, so they focus on the freeze, rather than the effort to do the one percenters.

    This is true. But the reality is we won't escape the year without injuries. I hope McAdam plays a lot this year, but based on his history, he may not. Factor in BBB out from time to time, which will require a little shuffle. Plus, Melk plays such a good defensive forward role - there will be games we'll need/benefit from that. It's a long season, I am guessing we will need his experience at some point (provided it's not at the expense of our entire forward line becoming unavailable, again!).


    Regarding weather, according toย 'AccuWeather'ย  app

    Day:ย 65% chance of rain but only 4mm forecast

    Night: 25% chance of rain, real feel low 10*, average wind 11km/hย

    • 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
