MFCSS is on high alert.

 

Everyone calling for rain! I want it as dry as possible. Was a wet day the last time we played them and it didn't stop draper and phillips combining for 5 strong goals and killing us! They're in good form and it will be tough, but I'm loving the new look Dees. Hoping we can work on some better method out of the centre by necessity without Maxy. Team has grown so much in the last three weeks. Let that continue! Go Dees

The only reason I hope it rains is because Gawn plays his worst games in wet weather, so in essence we wouldn’t really be missing him.

However, you’re right in relation to hoping for a dry game. Our performances last year in wet weather as well as the Carlton game this year have been largely deplorable. We’re not a highly skilled side at the best of times, and wet weather only exacerbates our skill issue.

 

Interesting last night the conditions appeared slippery with the dew, and a lot of kicking off the ground and forcing the ball forward was used by both sides. Interesting to see how it will be tonight….

this clear blue sky over the 3144 doesn't fill me with confidence

i long for the ol 2.10pm game...train from malvern to richmond at 1.30pm, game at 2.10pm, back home by 5.45pm...

Season defining game

I don’t say it often but win and we go 10-7 with 6 games left and should make finals. Lose and it’s 9-8 and finals difficult

Bombers are about our level right now which is depressing to say so it’ll come down to who goes in harder for longer

A start like last week would be nice!

definitely agree. We have Kozzi, Rivers, Melky, Windsor, JVR etc all with great skill. 

it’ll be dewy but a really wet game would not suit us

I have the ying and yang experience this morning.

  • YING - Delight and expectation that my Dees are playing, are on TV, and a heap of new young players showing some skill and grunt.
  • YANG - we are playing the [censored] whom I loathe with a passion equal to those drivers who refuse to indicate before they hit the brake pedal.

If the game is played in a similar manner to last night Pies v Cats, we are in for a good night. If it becomes an aerial game it could become difficult for us.

Kozzie's milestone, Clarry finding the ball, Fritsch & Melksham in tandem, May & Lever in tandem, Langdon & Windsor in tandem.

Maldonboy - "Dees by 10" - is that points or goals??

Well what a grey damp cold miserable day it is at the moment, I hope it clears up to be a nice dry evening for football. 
There’s not many games where I wake up nervous from the get go but today is. The result of this game is huge for our season, we just need to get the win. And where playing Essendon I ride shotgun with WCW in my hatred for this arrogant scum of a club. 

Same, Ang! I’m always chill af. I only have my weight’s worth of coffee and Red Bull and a carton of cigarettes because that’s how I roll. 😀


I'm quietly confident. Clarry to star. And all the forwards to get involved 

Dees by 18

I agree,   Just wish I had your confidence  Go Dees

Confidence/Delusion… it’s all the same right? 😁

Seriously MD, you just have to BELIEVE. I genuinely believe we’ll beat them, I really do. Our boys are riding a wave of confidence and belief and their players have probably let doubt creep in. Reason being, before they beat Collingwood everyone was saying they haven’t beaten any of the top sides. They beat Collingwood and that boosted their confidence… muchly 😡 After watching Collingwood last night, you can’t tell me Essendon are still feeling so invincible.

We need to capitalise on that self-doubt, and I believe we will.

WE CAN (AND WILL) DO THIS!!!

He has been told he must attend. 
If anyone wants to win the flag in 2025 and wants to fork out $700 for a membership for him so he can attend finals, we will accept 😂

I’ll do that. And I’ll have a limousine parked out front of yours every GameDay for him. 

I don’t think we’ll be the pushover that Essendon will be expecting. They’ve had a very easy fixture. Not that they’re top eight anymore, but until last round, they hadn’t beaten a team in the right. Even then, it was only Collingwood.

I’ll even throw in a foot-rub and a charcuterie and a bottle of *Penfolds Bin 95 'Grange' Shiraz 1998 (Magnum) in the limo.
 

*clueless about wine so hadda Google ‘most expensive wine’ and this one goes for $2,350 a pop! The website says ‘free delivery’!!!! I should bloody think so! At that price I’d expect Brad Pitt to deliver it. 😅

  • 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?
