Can't see us winning this unfortunately. 

Housebound and your TV broken?

This game is a proper 'throwing rocks at eggshells' game. Go hard and we could absolutely shatter them, and the rest is details.

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 😂

Well we went to Alice last year to watch us lose on the last kick of the day in pouring rain and 8C. This year we went to Perth and saw us get belted by WC who are hopeless.

I'm tendering our services to all interstate teams next year and the one who comes up with best travel, accommodation and dining package will receive our services. A small price to pay for a guaranteed win.

We'll see if there's a Plan B today

Contest will be king

If we bring the pressure that we have for the past two games we will go close to winning.

 

I know to us it's not but to the football world we've got a free hit. Hit them hard from the first bounce and don't let up. The last quarter scares me but the rest is milk and honey. Dees by 22...

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. 😅

He doesn’t drink, besides the very rare beer. He also would prefer a pizza 😂

I'm continuing to hope that the "hunter" v "hunted" mindset shift helps us. I was hoping it would vs Brisbane and it did.

This is another relatively rare game (for 2021-24) where we're underdogs, and indeed it feels like no one out there thinks we can win, let alone will win (Gawn out obviously a factor there). That lack of expectation, indeed the opposite, hopefully lifts the pressure off. And the opposite for them.

No Gawn definitely adds to the unpredictability. A win would be awesome as we’ll only need to go 3-3 to make the 8 from next week.

That’s just BBO’s cooking wine. 


Should be right in this up to our eyeballs, my main concern is umpire 22 who seems to pull out puzzling decisions for the opposition which leaves you with NFi  what it was for.

Yes you CAN, Daniel. Why can’t we win???? Come on… start believing and it’ll happen.

Personally I’m totes looking forward to losing $100 (which I can ill afford) tonight. Moreover, I’d gleefully lose $1000 if it means we beat those bastards, except my son draws the line at a week of nothing but Vegemite sandwiches for brekky, lunch and dinner, he ain’t doing a month. #SpoiltBrat 😁

@sue @titan_uranus in response to a query on the pregame thread, the last team in the top 4 with a percentage below 100 this late in the season was Geelong after round 18, 2000.

https://afltables.com/afl/seas/2000.html#18

(Melbourne finished 1989 in 4th with a percentage of 96.5)

 

Thanks @WheeloRatings. I think @Bring-Back-Powell nailed this one.


Goodwin and the selectors have come up with a cunning plan and believe they have built a better mousetrap. All we need now is for essendon to chase the cheese.

Dees by a couple of goals.

Thanks for the offer ET but Cortona is a tad too far from the coast. I'm aiming to circumnavigate Italy (over 4 trips). This is my third. 70% covered. 😊🇮🇹

Can you still get premium guest passes or does that have to be during the week?

Tough crowd..

As for tonight I do think we're a chance. Ruckman dominance doesn't always equal success, still got our rearguard who will cut off everything if there's enough pressure up the ground. We do need to be wary of Essendon's quick ball movement but maybe the rain could play into our favour? Time will tell.

Wherever Harrison plays I'm aure he'll have some kind of impact tonight.

Nah. He needs to learn what's important in life. The Dees winning (and you risking his health/well being) is far more important (than food) 😀

Where is the rain? Was hoping for it to have been pissing down all day.

On my way to the g now, bloody freezing but looks like the rain may be minimal

What will Goodwin reply be if we lose & get flogged in the ruck and not playing a back up ruck in Fullerton

Checking in from a music festival in Basque country. (#not a humblebrag, but maybe a bit probably ). 

The last two days I've seen Massive Attack, Air, Underworld and Prodigy (and Grace Jones). 

There has to be some tea leaves among that lot. ?

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
