Closed room, the dog in the other room, yell as loud as you want. Go Dee’s 

Optional extra add noise suppressing + padded ceiling and walls. 

 

Almost forgot the binos this morning.

Gonna need them if I end up stuck on level 4..

tough start to his coaching career for the Ooze. Tiges have been competitive in most games, but they are ravaged by injuries.

if we are switched on from the get-go, we should win this one comfortably. We've had a bye so will be fresh. Fatigue is no excuse tonight. 

I'm confident Max will lead the way and our boys will get the job done with the minimum of fuss.

Dees by 45+ points

    For those of you not in Melbourne I can report that after a wet night, we are now bathed in glorious sunshine. From where I am (inner Melbourne) there's not a cloud in the sky. Hope it stays that way for the rest of the day.

    Would be great to see a functioning fwd line tonight.

    100+ points and JVR and Petty to take some strong marks and kick a few snags

    I'll take it either way, but do you mean you're expecting/hoping for a 100+ point score or a 100+ point winning margin?

    But after a loss to WC I expect Ooze and Richmond to come out spitting fire, im not expecting an easy game.

    Yep the cold front that was earlier predicted to come through later today/afternoon has already swept through. Plenty of time for the sun and wind to dry out the deck for tonight.

    Agree. But every game is a danger game. But Tigers are always a threat. They still have enough good players to be dangerous near goals.

    I've got a sneaky suspicion that we'll start off slow and the Tigers might even be winning at half time. I know we had a bad loss to Brisbanne, but they would've been really disappointed in their effort against West Coast so I think they'll come out firing. We'll overtake them in the second half and win by about 30 points.

    I think the weather will be okay tonight, according to the Bom anyway the bulk of the rain will be done by lunchtime...hopefully.  Bit ordinary that we get worried in the wet though.

    Laurie would want to absolutely "bring it" tonight, bit miffed that Kolt got dropped but hopefully he'll be back soon.  

    GO DEES GAME DAY HELL YEAH!!!

    The time is here and I’m putting out a gameday PSA.

    If you have never been to the ANZAC eve game before I strongly encourage you to get along tonight. I know it’s an away game but the pre match ceremony is truly something the be seen in person. 

    “They shall not grow old” and great words but I believe that nights like this really put that into practice. We all enjoy living in this great country and this night is for all of us. 

    I myself have a deep personal connection with WW2. While my background is Greek, my grandfather and my great uncle served in the RAAF in New Guinea. They both returned but had their lives changed forever from that point on. I’ll always be proud of what these two and many others sacrificed so could live the lives we do today and I’m always thinking of them during the minutes silence. 

    Regardless of your background or what you believe this night/day is for you and again if you’ve never experienced it I would seriously consider getting along tonight or to the dawn service at the Shrine tomorrow which I’ll also be attending. 

    And lastly, go the mighty Dees!
     

     

     Well put Layzie. It's so important to honor our brave men and women who have in many cases paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy and in my case, I reckon don't appreciate enough how much they cost. 

    I was wondering if people ever wear their or their ancestor's medals to this game?

    As for PSA, if people have lost or had ancestor's medals damaged or stolen you may be interested to know that you can apply to the defence department to have them replaced.

     

    Couch, oodie and scotch for me tonight. 

    I get grumpy when not in my fancy trident club seat with bar right behind me.

    Absolutely love this game!

    Have a couple of pies supporters coming along for the third year in a row as they love this pre game so much they hate missing it now!

    I see they have put BBB down as omitted,is the opinion that is they have gone for balance and for or are they taking the opportunity to "manage "him.

    Either seems credible, what do we think?

    Any insider track watching clues?

    Getting Brown and TMac through the season as live options seems crucial to finals success

    Should be aiming to win each qtr by 4 goals. 

    You're expecting a 100 point win?! Bookies have that as $34 a chance if you're that confident!

    So impressed with Tmacs return to form. I just hope Bbb can back to how he was against the dogs. I thought Tmac was done and dusted but he has re.. reinvented himself down back again and doing a very solid job.  

    As for Bbb I think he may have been hampered by his injuries again  in his last two outings and so yea he sadly needs a break.

    Richmond will kick a lot of ground balls into their fwd 50 tonight

    We need some agility there because we're not great at that.

    I think that Disco Turner will be required to play the role that Joel Smith played last year.

    Forward until the game situation is so that he is required as a defender.

    Disco also needs a break with injuries.

    Game day baby. [censored] pumped!

    Go Dees!!!

    If we're a good team then this should be a big percentage boosting win for us. Richmond are bottom 4-6 quality and decimated by injury. Despite Yze's intimate knowledge of our team, we should still absolutely belt them akin to a training run. Coming off a fresh break with more fit players available, there's no excuses. 

    On another note, we need to learn to play the MCG better. It's our home ground, and yet we get beaten there regularly and lose repeatedly to interstate clubs in home games. Our finals record there in recent times speaks for itself. It's concerning that even after years of inconsistency and failure there, nothing appears to have changed from a gameplay or strategic direction. We need the MCG to become a fortress for us. Finals wins at the MCG should be a foregone conclusion, not a battle we lose.

    Going full-nuffie today. Gonna go to both matches. The amount of Red Bull and coffee required would drop a horse, but I’m all across it. 🥳

    Unrelated: can a person die from guarana overdose? Asking for a friend who may or may not have already had two Vs.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
