That peanut Jon Anderson starting a rumour on 3AW this morning that Clarrie won't play🤬

usually rumours like this  don’t come from nowhere. The benefit might be that it’s really then a 3 week break for him to the tigers game.

Tonight's game is just about one of those famous "eight pointers" !  Going into the bye with 5 in a row and just one loss would be a huge start to the season. Brisvegas , on the other hand, is fa

Clarry will play

She was on her second pack of fags at 5am. She’ll be coughing up a lung before the game even starts 😂 Nah, I steered clear of DL this morning; another thread on here last night being the reason.

this is true, but goodwin doesn't play funny buggers - in the presser yesterday he was asked directly about claz and said "he'll play"

If Clarry is out, I don't mind. He needs to get his hand right. He is too important for the rest of the season.

 

I'd like to see Petty play a somewhat defensive role on Harris Andrews. Keep him out of it and  Brisbane are in real trouble.

One of the biggest threats for tonight will be Bailey, IMO. He always seems to bob-up against us. 

 

Agree. 

I'd also add that we have also struggled their other excellent medium half forwards/mids/utilises  in particular mcluggage and McCarty. 

Defensively it's been our Achilles heel for years.

Part of the issue against the lions is we have to send one of our best mid sized defenders to Cameron - and basically play him man on man (ie not much zoning off).

But it's also a personnel issue.

Nev was brilliant as a small/medium defender in 2018, just about the best. But since then we've struggled in that space.

The juddster was brilliant last year  and has become our go to player for the opposition's best medium forward.

But the lions have four excellent medium forwards to cover.

I think Howes was brought in to strengthen our ability to cover such players  and thus far had been terrific at doing so. He'sslotted in down back like a 200 gamer and gives us so much more flexibility. 

So, I'm more confident than I have been for ages that we have the tools to cover the lions' dangerous medium forwards.

Look there’s only one thing I know for sure, Koltin Tholstrup will be kicking 3 goals tonight.

Bookmark it, rack it, set your watch to it, circle your calendars around it and set your VCRs to it.

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.

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.

In his last 2 games Lachie Neale has sat out the match with a massive bag of ice on his ankle.

Having said that he got 35 and 27 possessions in those games.

eh?

he's been very good so far this year

once he moves back into midfield rotation - likely after bowey is back - he'll win a lot more footy

don't look at his fantasy / supercoach scores for his effect on team, and team balance

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
