Not going to be a walkover for sure.

It was great to see Oliver and Tracc hit their strides last week given what's been going on with them both.

But our forward line showed the biggest area of concern.

I'm buoyed by the glimpses of brilliance by young Jefferson but it's only one game.

Fritta and Jvr will both have to pull out their respective fingers in order for us to kick a winning score.

I believe Turner has been included because of the concern over the previous two mentioned.

They both had average seasons last year by their own standards so there is reason to worry it may continue. Last week certainly didn't help this anxiety.

I think Sparrow fwd is a good idea because he has never excelled as a mid.  Shame we can't afford to swing Tracc through the fwd line a lot. It's bad enough we may have to use Jvr in the middle again. 

So given such a continued iffy fwd line this game is going to be tougher than we would like.

As our all games this year for the same reason.  And imagine if one of our fwds went down. Sheesh.

Dees by 21 with a late flurry of majors .

Surely it'll be SparGod as sub after such a long lay off

Makes a lot of sense. Could see us subbing out someone like Jeffo later in the game to go smaller.

 

I am on the Train from Berwick, stacks of Norfs, not too many Dees supporters🤪

Probably not,  but given KP was missed  so much and Nibbler gone, I really, really hope not.

Need as much goal scorer power as we can get and as mentioned above it's not Jvr and Fritta.

Plus Chandler is no consistent goal kicker.

We have a one gamer in Jeffo and an unproven Disco. So it's a full four quarters from this poster. Definitely.

Beautiful night last night and the roof was closed. It was one big communal sauna. Had to go outside at the breaks coz it’s nice to be able to breathe unlabored. 🥵

Anyhoo that was last night. Today is a new day but yeah, the roof will still be closed 😅

We’ll be in aisle 1. Anyone with GA tickets please come and sit in aisles 2 & 3 so as to create a sea of red and blue. ❤️💙

Thanks Gosty.  Your info is much better than the generic fluff on the club's website.

Really starting to despise going to watch the AFL these days for the way they treat the average punter.  I'm only getting GA tickets to the footy, bar finals, but despite the fact the ground will be half full, I've got a sinking feeling today going in that there will be so few GA seats available that it will be an ordeal to find somewhere to sit.

The info on the club's 'Match Day Info' Page for today:

Patrons with General Admission tickets can sit in any of the designated General Admission areas. These seats are on a ‘first-come, best dressed’ basis and are not reserved.

General Admission bays are confirmed the week of the match, with specific information posted on event pages and our social media platforms the morning of the match.

If you are unsure upon arrival at the stadium, please see a customer service staff member or see signage around the stadium.

Useless as the proverbial 

 

P.S. There is no specific info posted on the MFCs FB Page either.

    Smoke and mirrors PF.

    I've never met one. 

    Ps I hope your mate Jeffo turns this one upside down.

    Taj the sub. Ugh 

    Who did you expect to he sub.

    Can play multiple positions: wing, half back, defensive forward - Woey makes perfect sense to be sub.

    I can't shake the worry that playing so many games as a sub can have undesirable effects on a kid's progress and confidence.

    Fingers crossed that he gets to leave a memorable mark when he does come on.

    Would rather him than Sharp as someone with that much run is wasted as sub, but I also think Woey deserves more of a crack than 15 - 20min gametime.  Quite happy that he'll contribute when he get's on though.

    Woewodin as the direct replacement for Windsor won’t be the sub. 

    For a man whose posts I read intently, this one didn’t age well Dz

    I think he runs & carries the ball well & is a beautiful kick. He deserves to play out a full game. 

    On the tram to Docklands. It stinks. I hate people.

    This is the day our young tall forwards need to introduce themselves to the league. Norf have nothing in the backline. Roo, Disco, Jeffo - over to you

    Looks like there’s about 8,000 here today and half of them are on the ground forming guards of honour. 

     

    I still remember last year a Melbourne fan yelling out to jy simplin you're the worst captain in the afl & no one knows who you are.

    A bit harsh but also amusing

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
