Fair enough 

 

My prediction is the Tigers will throw everything they can muster at us early.

Possibly even heading into half-time in front. 

Then this particular thread will become a place of darkness. Season over. Certain players will be told to never play for us again. 

Then the more well-rounded team (ours) will systematically carve it’s way to a 42-point win. 

Hooray!

    For those unable to attend tonight's reverential and otherwise solemn ceremony prior to the game. As the stadium lights return and the game is about to begin. Forget the SEN app, mute Seven's commentary. Flip the disc onto the turntable platter and pump up the volume.

    PLAY LIST

    1. Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive (if the tiggers go hard in the first half and the Dees are behind)

    2. Dan Hartman - Instant Reply (guaranteed to happen, AFL sanctioned score review with product placement).

    3. Rick Dees -Disco Duck (give the man a guernsey)

    4. Evelyn 'Champagne' King - Shame (default if the umpiring is one -sided otherwise select dom perignon)

    5. Average White Band -Pick up the Pieces (if Richmond has momentum Maysie and the Boys may need to...)

    6. Chic - Le Freak (Bayley has broken off the chain. Nothing more need be said)

    7. Van McCoy - Do the Hustle (Max, Clarry, Tracc and Vines take command  in the centre square)

    8. Donna Summer - Hot Stuff  (Kysaiah Pickett receives nomination for AFL Father of the Year and turns it on at the 'G)

    9. KC and the Sunshine Band - Shake Your Booty (Jacob van Rooyen celebrates contract extension with a big goal)

    10. The Trammps - Disco Inferno (Dees apply the blowtorch to the now faltering tigers)

    11. Rose Royce - Car Wash (Ooze looses personal bet with Goody. Will give the Jag XE a polish as well)

    12. Earth Wind and Fire -September (expectations will be exceeded).

     

    Bravo.

    Perhaps a shout out to You ain't seen nothing yet by Backman- TURNER Overdrive.

    It ain't Disco but his namesake gets a guernsey.

    Well looking forward to watching this game on my phone from the beautiful town of Te Anau in NZ. Hoping a great days fishing is followed by a great game of footy.

    In Raglan NZ at the moment. How are you watching? VPN?

     

    Hoping for a quality game from Clayton Oliver tonight. He was absolutely dreadful defensively last game, especially in the first quarter. That's fine if he's damaging offensively, but he was just about nonexistent in both facets of the game with that hand injury.

    Quite chilly here in Melbourne now (apparent temp 11.9deg) but looks like the rain has gone and it will be a dry game..

    Arguably his weakest 4 quarter effort for the club in memory. Then again it’s hard to tackle with one hand but he rarely got into contests. Should have been rested.

    There is a wonderful scene from one of its episodes. Unfortunately I can't recall which one.

    But I'll set the scene. Beaver one afternoon had done something wrong and the Father at dinner time gave him a stern dressing down.

    The next scene at breakfast the next day has the mother saying to the father.....

    "Gee you were a bit hard on the old beaver last night".

    • PREVIEW: 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.
