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.

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) 😀

what's the trap?

what's the cheese?


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

Did you get a prem guest pass?

Let me know if you'd like one for Northern Stand lev 2, as I have a spare

 

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. ?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
