I hear you brother.

I would give him some brass knuckles! 😆

 

Hard to drop anyone but I would like to see Ben Brown get a farewell game. Think he deserves it. 
Hunter could be the sub to get his 200th. 
 

The main thing is that we need to beat those pieces of [censored]! 😤

    AMW for Sparrow

    Brown and Hunter can say their farewells pregame or at half time

    We need to fight this game hard, play it like it's a final. Hell is this "our Grand Final"? 

    I want to see us attack this game the way we should've on QB. Give them no quarter and be hard at the footy all day. There's no next week.

    God I want us to beat them and put the official nail in the coffin of their season.

    If BBB comes it it can only be for Petty IMO. Need JVR to ruck and can’t drop Disco. Petty might appreciate the extra week off, but not sure we do it.

    If Hunter (after missing the vfl game??) comes in it can only be for Melk as sub. Seems unlikely. And would need Melk to have another year.

    Suspect they just keep Tomlinson for a farewell and keep May on ice so he can attack preseason.

    Laurie or K Brown for Sparrow?


    Deny the filth finals and it will be the best end to a season since 2021.

    The boys should be looking forward to driving a nail into Collingwood’s faint finals chances.

     

     

    I’ll certainly be there. It’s our ‘grand final’ in August. The mighty Dees  v the Ferals and umps.
    So much want us to beat the ‘Umpire assisted premiers’ of 2023 and ensure they can’t make the finals in 2024.

    I’d love to snuff out any chance of the Filth making finals. This is our Grand Final now.

    I would give Hunter his 200th and farewell game next week, on the strict proviso he makes Maynard and Moore know he was out there and if possible legally of course, fixes up Maynard.

    What’s Alistair Lynch doing on Friday night?

    Poor percentage means the Pies can't make the finals if any two of Bulldogs, Hawks and Blues win tomorrow, which is highly likely. Thus this will be a dead rubber with the Pies unable to rise higher than ninth. Such a shame that neither the Pies nor the Blues will be playing in September, perhaps the only small consolation for Dees supporters.

    There should only be the one change, someone in for Sparrow (I'd go AMW personally).

    BBB can have a lap of honour before the game or at half time.

    If the Filth beat us, they can still make if Port can get over Freo in Perth and the Blues lose to both the WCE and the Saints, which given all the Blues outs and the way they are playing is a strong chance.

    Again, this is wrong. They only care about Carlton. If they lose, Collingwood is alive. 

    A lazy  100 point win might get us in. Doubt it but possible but dogs and hawks need to lose tomorrow and next week

     

    still just beat the filth!!

    I think we are missing what the real opportunity is here to screw the Pies.

    It's not a matter of the dees winning . It's probably about ensuring they don't win by 60 points  plus to get the required % boost.

    What would be better than watching the second half pies fans knowing they can't meet that target during the game with the dees defence rock solid.

    Cook them slowly

    Would be interesting to see a match between the Bulldogs and the filth , who would get the more assistance from the umpires? 🤔

    Pies media hype has started but by my best calculations a 100 point margin over dees next week will see them well under 8th spot on %.

    No chance of finals. Includes blues losing next week to saints

    Unless you have Carlton beating West Coast, a 1 point win over us and a Fremantle loss to Port puts Collingwood in the 8.

    Carlton winning tonight pretty much ends them but the Blues’ injury list means that’s unlikely.

    I would love for West Coast to be Carlscum, we beat the filth and they both miss the 8! that'd be the dream

    • If the Dogs, Hawks and Blues win their remaining games, Collingwood can't make it
    • If the Hawks and Fremantle win their remaining games Collingwood can't make it
    • If the Dogs, Hawks and Blues win by 1 point today, Collingwood will be out of the eight by 7%. If the Dogs, Hawks and Blues then lost by 1 point next week, Collingwood would have to win with score around 150-20.

    Even if we lose, if we can keep it close, it's a win.

    I've just watched part of the last 5 minutes of the Brisbane/Coli Wobble game and after the third Tiggy Touchewood free to Collingwood I switched it off. MacRae was 100% correct in his assessment that his team get more than very favorable treatment from the so-called White Men when they play in their hometown MCG etc.

    In other words, to beat the E Coli Wobblers you have to beat the umpires as well.

    No way they select hunter.

    At least i hope not - i would be livid if they did. He doesn't deserve any favours.

    All the talk about clarry this season has helped hunter escape scrutiny.

    He was good in the first half of the 2023 season, but has been a joke since - particularly this year.

    This season we lost 2 senior players for the season before a ball was bounced (gus, smith), had other senior that basically alao missed the whole season through injury (spargo, bbb and mcadam) and had yet another unavailable for two thirds of the season (melk).

    And to that list we can add Hunter.

    So, from a list of 44 players, we were down seven senior players, forcing us to play kids.

    And in addition, multiple senior players missed blocks of games (May, tracc, maxy, salo, bowey, lever).

    I understand Hunter battled injury, but to he blunt I question his commitment to his rehabilitation - not to mention the club.

    We desperately needed hardened, senior players on deck and he looked a million miles from a dedicated, elite footballer desperate to get back into the ones.

    And forget leadership - he's offered us nothing. Hunter is the anti nibbla and I expect we've seen the last of him, both at the dees and as an AFL footballer.

    Ugh this game is going to be horrible.  

    At least may isn't playing so he won't be booed.

    I know we'll want to boo that thug but it only fires him up & gets the scum fans going.

    I just hope one of our good players does not end up seriously injured again

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
