Not cheap, but I think pints are over 14 normally 

Pints have really caught on. Even in trendy Wollongong they are all the go.

Such a wonderful standard unit of measurement where one can swear in good conscience in a court of law that "I'd only had a couple of beers".

 

Looking forward to it. Train in from the SE suburbs has a fair few fans on it. Hope the crowd is strong. Go dees!

And on top of it all, you can visualise this lovely exchange every time you order one:

Saves return trips to the bar when quaffing shiraz deaver .

Got here too early and making conversation with myself in the Beames bar. No choice but to get a pint. 


No point wasting time with pots. Pints the only way to go if you're being serious.

Amateurs!

The jug is the only size for a decent beer, however they do look at you funny when you order six!

An hour before the bounce and it does not matter where in the world you are, it is still an hour before the bounce.

What I want to see this evening is the team 'on' from the first bounce. I want to see us playing the game on our terms and making sure that the Tiges are reacting and on the back foot. The on-field leaders have to do their job of keeping minds concentrating.

Pressure, Pressure, Pressure on the ball, the ball carrier and the possible next receivers all over the ground. A team game.

Individual performances I will be keeping an eye on:

Viney - he has been in great form this season except for the Lions game. I want to see him respond. 

McVee - just cause I enjoy watching him.

Petty - had a couple of games back and there is now no excuse not to perform.

Win for the Dees by 6/7 goals.... heart over head? we shall see.

Expect a lift everywhere. But for a few last game, we were so flat. I don't know what happened but we looked very ordinary on our own turf. Ill pay that we played last year's runner's up but something went wrong somewhere. 

Tonight there's no where to hide and no excuses. No fatigue .

Our midfielders need to get back to winning the centre clearances and stop teams connecting with all Maxy's tap wins.

Our forward line needs to get cracking. If we can't hold our marks then they need to follow up with non stop tackles and pressure. 

Hopefully Olivers much better after his operation and Kozzie bolsters our pressure acts.

I'll back Petts to come out firing and have a big game in the absence of Bbb.

The focus is all on us tonight not the tigers. If we are a top four team then we need to have a comfortable win this evening.

Enjoy the game ladies and gents. Especially those of you there. Cheers.


Laurie the sub.

Turner starting.

Probably on the bench to fill Roohey's role when he takes over from Max in the middle and also when he's resting on the sidelines.

Good luck young fella!

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
