This will be a great challenge especially for the youngsters. Good luck to AMW.

And I hope we win just to give a big F U to all the misery around here lately. 

Misery loves company so let's win and make it a hermit.

Just arrived in Brisbane and rolled into the Sofitel only to turn around and see myself staring at someone's crotch.

Max is unnaturally tall...

I am guessing you are 5 foot 6"?

Good guess, I am 5f 7 lol. Had the same experience in a lift with him in Hobart last year 


Now out to $5.50.

More a reflection of Brisbane's form or ours? I reckon we'd be rank outsiders at the MCG as well.

How many pints in a point?

Game day baby. Pumped!

We all know it’s either a small win or massive loss.

If Fritta and Clarry can get going, it’s on baby.

Go Dees. Rip ‘em a new one.

If nothing else, this year’s AFL competition has shown that anything can happen on any given day.  Maybe the ‘Footy Gods’ will be smiling on us for a change ……. after all, it must be our bloody turn!  Dees by 3 points.

You mean the umpiring gods?

Just keen to see the new kids get more game time really, it's all development which is good, a win would be a real treat but just happy to see kids getting a go.

Is this a drinking game?

Drink 6 pints for every behind we score?

I would certainly be done by first quarter time.

Happy Andy Moniz Wakefield day to those who celebrate

I’d forgotten how good the game day thread is so many hours before the game. I feel optimistic again! … but I won’t be revisiting this page during the game.

Really interested to see what Fritsch's attitude is like this week, reckon it was really poor last outing.

Geez Andy… a little drastic, dontchya think?!
Can’t we just say “Or lose”????
 

He’s using reverse psychology — he think we’re a chance I rkn 🤩🤩🤩

I honestly have belief for tonight — Roos game I always had a danger game vibe, but for whatever reason, tonight with Lever back, I have a genuine feeling we’re gonna take it to them. Sure, we could completely capitulate under the weight of our own season, but Lions have a history of being happy with themselves and if I’m right in my expectation our fitness will look much better tonight, we’re 💯 legit chance tonight.
 

Takeaway the North Umpire kickstarted comeback, we’d be about $3 if we’d held-on by 30+ — Add Lever who’s our most important player in terms of when missing, we lose — look up the history — And I think our d50 game is going to be right back to where it was before he got injured & don’t forget he was carrying a knee weeks prior to Freo game. Weird selection with Thommo in for Howes, but again I think that’s cus with Lever we want him completely free to go wherever he likes.. 

AMW HAS TO PLAY and not be sub for mine, really wanna see his composure and assuredness esp with Salo out, but seeing Woey on bench also means it’s 50/50 to which plays as sub.. but I’m gonna say it’s AMW! 
 

I think Petty is most confident he’s been all year and JVR is a problem match-up, I expect a full-blown fwd half game which means taking on Lions head to head in the contested game — where I think we can be hungrier and quicker if we have the legs.

Riv will have to be electric, Clarry will good to avoid Berry tag, or maybe he tags Neale himself — Nibbler and Kolt being used through the middle of the ground as connecting HHF’s & conversion like LW to be excellent!

 

Kos to slot 3, Fritta 3, Petty 2, Chandler 2 — Dees by 11pts to reignite our season.

You should always endeavour to keep your nose out of other people's business.

Instead of guzzling pints of beer, try having a sip of brake fluid instead.

The good thing is that you can stop whenever you wish.

I'm tired of being the Lions' bunnies. Dreaming of another 60+ win against them but more realistically hoping we win - even if only by a point.  Carn ya red legs!!  ❤💙

Christy, has Binman brainwashed this many people? 

On what basis do you 'expect' our fitness to look much better? 

Freo, Collingwood, North.. Which one were we 'bouncing' for? 

Or is it this one? 

Season defining game

The Forwardline just has to do something tonight. 
Get your sh.. together Demons 

 

On Fox Footy this morning they were replaying highlight packages from previous encounters between Melbourne and the Lions. The one of most interest was the 2021 qualifying final, we moved the ball quickly (not like Collingwood do now but quicker than we do currently) we would take a mark at half back or on the wing and we would turn and go kicking towards CHF before turning and kicking to a less congested fwd line. Our small fwd were at the drop of the ball and our pressure was immense. Anyway that seems like a lifetime ago now…..

What has changed since 2021. Everything was working so well that year in our ball movement. Why did we tinker/regress. Did we become less bold, less risk taking. 

 

i love the optimism some have - wish i could be more like that. BUt i cant see how we come closer than 5 goals. Their forward line is on fire atm and they outclass us in the middle.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
