Two Bites at the Cherry

Well as we savour the gloriously aromatic air of a win our eyes will soom turn to Monday week and a meet with the Filth !!

for the first time in ...well cant remember....we will actually meet with this vermin twice in a year.

Like it or not they...that supposed rabble of wobblies are actually one of the better teams taking to the turf this season. Yesterdays success whilst glorious , to me, isnt really a true indication of whther we are suddenly remembering what to do as much as the collision of many factors. The Crows simply Dissed us to begin Im sure, then hit by injuries they had limited abiloity to retort. BUT they nearly did.

There is probably no match on anyones calender that you look forward to quite as much as Dees / Pies game. Micky Mouse will have been watching the tapes and checkig his list and checking it twice.

I have thought all year that irrespective of form that this ought to be a cracker of a game. Some good matchups and for mine more importantly no glaring mismatches. If nothing much more should come of this season a win on QB wil be some consolation. Then later...we can do it all over agian :lol:

roll on QB..

go Dees

The only thing better than beating Collingwood once...beating them twice!

Collingwood has the form so we will be underdogs for the first time in a few years but I reckon we will be capable of giving them more than a few headaches with the team and effort we had yesterday.

Adelaide were missing - Biglands, Bode, Burton, Hentschel, (and Reilly and Perrie during the game)

We were missing - Bartram, Whelan, Rivers, Pickett, Moloney, Yze, Miller (not sure if that puts us at a disadvantage tho)

Adelaide weren't missing many and we are still missing some - it was a pretty good win. The only reason Adelaide even got close was because we were so scared of losing and went into our shells.

Freo are terrible this year. Collingwood's other wins have been against Kang (very lucky), Rich, Ess, Adel (AAMI), Carl and Bris. They are beating the sides they should beat, but nothing particularly outstanding. Losses to WB, WCE, Port.

I'm quietly confident. Especially if we get Whelan and Yze back.

 

unless we play at 100% we will get smashed, we need to play one on one and pressure them all over the ground, when freo played off them the pies dominated but when freo played close the game got closer, we have to play hard intense football

Two bites of the cherry...................yum yum. :lol:

It should be a good game but I think we will have the advantage because Buckley he will 'twang' his hammy again in the LAST game of his career and Clement might not be back to push Robbo in the back all day again? :lol:

;)

really good point...

clement is in trouble this year..... after watching the replay a few weeks ago.... from last year..... clement pushes robbo under the balll abot 6 times in the game

My mate is a hardcore Pies fan that loves his footy

He is obviously ecstatic that the Pies are 7-3, but he told me that as soon as the opposition matches Collingwoods attack on the ball they will go down

So if we hit the ball hard and tackle like maniacs I think we should get up

i think the one we have to watch out for is travis cloke,dont think buckley will play and clements done nothing all year

so bring it on

 

clement has been injured and has only played 5 games, averaging 16 touches in those games.


geez i sure hope he does. i for one have never seen our backline play any better i reckon, and so with our premier small defender back into the team for the second biggest game of the home and away season, i'd love to see us shut them down completely. bell and he on didak and davis, yum!

Id put Bell on to Cloke and tell Belly to smashed in the turf as hard as he can

Buckley is useless

Massive game, we aren't going anywhere this season but I'd love nothing more than to beat Collingwood (Twice).

Just as a question of interest, I was told BT on MMM made some comments that weren't taken too well by some Melbourne supporters (They were the ones who told me) after the game, not quite sure what they were about but if it was to do with the game this week I'd love to smash the Pies and rub it in that fat ****s face, he has always had bias against us (I'd love to smash Collingwood no matter what the situation).


even Frawley for Wheels

Harsh I know but we need our best 22

frawley needs game time and was bloody good on the weekend, nothing would help him more than showing the same attack on such a big stage. whelan would play essentially ward's role, but tighter and better. therefore ward for whelan seems a direct swap

Read Jaded's post "I am f******* Melbourne". BT said that the MFC is pissweak, the Melbourne supporters are pissweak and the club has a culture where failure is accepted. Game up with all the original quotes about us heading to the snow in our 4wd, blah blah blah..... What a [censored]!!!!!!!!

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie? 
    Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG. Unfortunately, performances like these went against the grain of what Melbourne has been producing from virtually midway through 2024 and extending right through to the present day. This is a game between two clubs who have faltered over the past couple of years because their disposal efficiency is appalling. Neither of them can hit the side of a barn door but history tells us that every once in a while such teams have their lucky days or come up against an opponent in even worse shape and hence, one of them will come up trumps in this match.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
