This is me every single week and has been for the past seven or so years. Hot tip: it doesn’t always work. No amount of $ can make up for a loss. 😢

I thought you would be the one who runs out and gives the player a bum rub even when not needed

Then realised I’ve got another two in my bag and cans aren’t allowed in so right now I’m outside the G smashing another two (don’t judge me). I’ll be the one pingin’ off the walls tonight, win or lose 😂

A drunk red head at the game. GET WCW ON THE GROUND! 
 

We have needed some grunt and anger on field in recent weeks. 
 

WCW to get 200 pressure points in the first 10 minutes on her own, then sub her out afterwards. She will tire quickly…

    We must win. That is all.

    But looking forward to seeing what Brown does and koltyn hopefully contributes

    The roos' pressure and contest has been good, but they lack the fitness to maintain it for four quarters.

    I doubt we'll be fully wound up, but the roos are coming of a six day break and we're coming off a bye.

    I think the roos will either come out flat, or come up out with good intensity but fade.

    Dees by 43 points.

    I thought you said North at the line looked good?

    I find myself unable to stop rueing the Petty, Melksham and Brayshaw injuries at the end of last year. I reckon we'd be holding a second Cup and sitting comfortably inside the top 4 right now had those 3 never got injured. Instead the Pies are holding another Cup, Brayshaw has retired, Petty is a shadow and Melksham hasn't fired a shot. So tonight I sit and watch a game against and up and coming young team and can't decide whether i care more about 2024 or about the draft for 2025. Then there's the salt being ground into my wounds by watching Grundy and JJ ripping it up for the top team who can't buy an injury and are flying, Dane Swan's in the HOF and Carlton and Essendon are both above us. Sheesh that's some depressing football mood right there.

    For those in the Eastern suburbs travelling in by train tonight, heads up that buses are replacing trains on the Lilydale line. Go Dees.

    Those words that true Melbournians hate to hear. Buses are replacing trains on the …..line and the umpire for todays game is Matthew Nicholls

    Just for a laugh after the results so far this round it is possible that a reasonable win tonight could be worth as much as six spots on the ladder and likely five. Going ahead of Geelong, Port, Footscray, Brisbane, one of the Dockers or Suns, and if things get really bloody, Western Sydney.

    Wild times.

    We need to be brutal at the contest today. Enough is enough. 

    It'd be more helpful to focus on skill, not brutality.

    A good reminder of one thing we call agree on - the ladder doesn't lie.

    Nah HQ always had the Pies winning. They would have found another way.

    Brown as sub really doesn’t sit right with me. I think this is a very poor move by the footy department.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
