From an MFC viewpoint you want two Melbourne teams to kick away and establish themselves in positions 1 and 2.

Hard to see that happening so ideally we want to see the interstate powerhouses lose which keeps the Melbourne teams including ourselves in the hunt for a top 4 spot. 16-7 could see a team top the ladder. It got Port second spot last year with the Swans on 17-6 being number 1.

Another loss by Freo would please me

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Dees?

  • dingley
  • filth?
  • crom?
  • pear
  • puddy tatts
  • bears
  • us?
  • bloods?
  • gw$?

very early in the season, but that means we are favoured by the competition being even, so best results for us would see:

  • baggers
  • draw
  • peptides
  • tiggas
  • aints
  • meth coke
  • us
  • flagmantle
  • gc17 

Urghhhh, I would find it very funny If Carlton are 0-2, not so funny would be Hawks at 3-0.

Lions V Eagles could be a bloodbath. Mcwalter is going to find out how serious many of his senior players are about contributing.


I find it so hard to watch matches without choosing a side to barrack for. But the silly thing is by August each year a lot of results I cheered on meant Melbourne finished lower on the ladder, even if that's still 4th . But still I'll keep doing it

Voss could reasonably stake his job on the Blues coming out hard against Hawthorn. Curnow is a big in but it would not matter two squirts if Carlton brought the mental state they brought to the Richmond game.

It feels bizarre to say so, but I'd be looking at thursday as a 50/50 game with a solid prospect of outright biffo for flavour.

There's an unpleasant sensation that this season could see multiple clubs either fall horribly short of their aspirations and go into crisis that way, and multiple other clubs simple fall horribly.

Each of Fremantle, Port, Carlton and Collingwood could be exposed badly this season and find themselves faceplanting into a closing window.

Essendon, Gold Coast, North and Adelaide are all working under a significant pressure to show overdue progress.

St Kilda would be looking at West Coast like the Ghost of Christmas Future.

West Coast have Lions at the Gabba, Freo at home, then GWS in Sydney to start their season. My gut feels like I swallowed an avocado whole when I think about that scenario too much. Or perhaps it is simply the Ghost of Christmas Past, haunting me.

 

Strange side note - how will Gold Coasts 1 game on, 1 game off start to the season affect their performance for round 3?

 

 


@Demonland feel free to rename thread and do your thang.

Just wanted to make a brief comment on the expected crowd tonight. Drenching rain, Thursday night. Lucky to pull 25K tonight I reckon... where as  last Sunday Max Laughton the **** of a Fox News reporter potted us again about poor crowd turnout and neglected to mention that the GP was on and monsoon season for 1 day in Melbourne and we were playing GWS who have a total of 3 supporters, 2 of which are the pets of the only supporter known to exist.

Thank god the Suns have a bye this round.

They must be knackered after one whole game of footy

Think Blues can win tonight.

Dockers v Swans is a tough one.

Just so hard to know who to support. I guess the evil me wants to see a dozen hammies and ACLs from both teams.

Gotta do my baracking bit.

On my way to the MCG. I am ready to be hurt again 😁 My expecations are low but this Carlton side does have a bit of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde about it ... so one never knows ... Carn the Blues!


6 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

So fewer behinds for Carlton, then?

Edited by gs77

 

I can only ever cheer Carlton on if they're playing Collingwood. Barely.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
