Well, the last 3 games I have attended where the final last year against Carlton,  Brisbane this year at the Gabba and last week at the freezing MCG. All losses by less than a kick! Will be home tonight in Brisbane watching on Kayo so we are a much better chance. 🤞

    We play well at Marvel, I do worry about a shoot out again. If that happens one of our guys will kick a bag. Who knows how close we'll get.

    Yep.

    You can't lose most of your close games and expect finals.

     

    I think we are really up against Muhammad Ali.  Was it the rumble in the jungle

    And he gave out a whipping


    Last time we met, Tracca,May, Lever, Max and Tmac were in cheat touch with 50 marks between them.

    Chandler was in scintillating form as he is at the start of seasons with three sausage rolls and even Bbb kicked two 

    Oliver played his best game of the season.

    The drive from our backline we had was immense then and something that Gws recently showed us up in.

     

    Reckon we’ll have a comfortable half time lead of around 4 goals as the Dogs might be a bit flat off a 5 day break. 

    Then they’ll run all over us in the second half for a 5 goal Dogs win, due to our inability to put together 4 quarters against good sides.

    On paper our midfield just doesn’t stack up against theirs.

    Dee’s in a thriller, lead changes, heroics, stars on show…..the game of the season.

    I was going to quip that someone had put vodka in your water bottle "again" but then had a closer look.

    Yep you picked the wrong week to give up the old Metho.

    Don't worry, what you spend on Liver tests is offset by the savings on beers you make at Marvel these days.

    Dogs are very tall

    And their talls have been in good form

    Unlike rd 2 when their 4 tall attack wilted.

    Wouldn't the 5 day break cause them to struggle later in the game more than early?

    Last chance saloon for us. Their 5 day break, after an interstate trip, after being in Geelong the week prior, gives us some sort of edge, but on current form this doesn’t look great. If we lapse in the middle two quarters like we did last week, we’re no chance.

    I can’t see a world in which we win tonight. I wonder how much last weeks loss sapped our confidence/motivation.

    True. But I wouldn't be surprised if they come out a bit flat after being up for 3 weeks.

    I could be wrong and they've blown us out of the water by quarter time.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
