Might give watching this one a miss to be honest…I go to every game live in Vic but for whatever reason just get too stressed out off the TV

That might be partly due to the way they video it these days.  There are numerous close shots where you only see the ball and maybe 2 players. The ball heads out of shot and you have no idea if it is a brilliant pass to a team mate or a disaster or whatever.  This heghtens the tension and I'm sure it is deliberate by Fox/7 for that reason. Certainy is not of interest to those who want to follow the game.

Not happy that Bowey has bowed out. Big loss

Not really... he's been pretty poor this year post injury.

Had it not been for Salem's injury I would have dropped him for AMW.

I’ve taken us on the line to get within 34pts plus all of May Viney and Rivers for 20 posessions. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. 😂

And WCW, as an ex Melbournite who cycled rain hail and shine from Sandy to work in Richmond every day, who has been living not far south of the Gabba in the Northern Rivers since 2011, the nights are cold. I’ve a neck warmer on, 3 layers and keep muttering about underfloor insulation for our house risen on poles. I’m in thermal fleece tops on the bike at present! Brrrrrrr

Agreed, big part of our structure downback. Especially as we are playing 4 KPDs in the back. We will miss him.

God speed to the ground ball in our back half tonight 

I think it’s genius selection plan - tall defence to more than combat their strength.

With a flood defence cover for ground ball.

Lots of space for Kossie to play huge.

Can’t wait !

The boys appear to be 'ON' tonight.

Zero expectations so nothing to lose.

Just loosen the schackles a little Simon and aside from basic defensive structures behind the ball, no + ones early FCS and manic pressure when we don't have the pill.... let the boys play footy mate.

We just might get close and even pull off a miracle win subject to the above.

I’m kind of pumped.

Like, can we actually win this thing or is it just the adrenaline you’d maybe feel in a moment when the plane hits crazy turbulence and starts to nosedive and you don’t know if you’re gonna make it, but maybe you will, and what a story if you do, Wowee, did you leave the iron on at home? Who cares?!

Go Dees ❤️💙

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
