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.

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

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!!!

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.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
