    Loved Nev. Always thought he should have worn a cape. One of the best defenders the club has ever had.

    A little nervous about this game. Mainly because I could see Brisbane reacting hard to the position they find themselves in and wanting to prove a point. It is more of an 8 point game for them than it is for us. They drop this one and it is a long way back for them this season.

    From an MFC point of view if we can bring our professional game tonight and bring our pressure on the player and the ball we will have their measure.

    I loved the pressure turnovers against Adelaide last game and want to see more of that.

    Dees by 3 goals.

    As my MCFSS starts to kick in for tonights big match. A few stats from Hoyney on the Sportsday podcast on Tuesday.

    1. Melbourne are ranked No.1 at taking the most difficult shots at goal after 5 rounds, we are just kicking accurately, 10% above expected scores. Exactly like last years first 5 rounds.

    2. Melbourne are the 6th easiest team to move the ball against.

    3. Brisbane are the the No.1 at moving the ball.

    Might be  bit of a slingshot game tonight, lots of ball movement. Hopefully we keep our accuracy up whilst keeping them under 70pts.


    They have the players playlist up on the big screen and apparently Jake Lever selected Strawberry Kisses by Nikki Webster.

     

    Maybe we do have a culture problem after all...

    It's night for Jack Viney tonight...

    He's was coming off illness into the games in Adelaide. I expect he will step it up a notch or 2....

    Beautiful night here.

    Minimal wind, right temperature for footy, maybe some dampness from this mornings rain, but makes for a nice soft running surface.

    Go Dee's!

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
