Our recent record against the Swans hasn't been great so despite them having some a few regulars missing we should not expect this game to be easy.

I went to see the Swans against Carlton last week at the SCG.

They don't bat that deep atm imo so if you can nullify a few key playmakers, we should win.

Heeney and Warner are probably the big threats so hopefully Viney and I suspect Clarry can keep them under wraps - both are super dangerous inside F50.

Blakey creates a lot of rebound in their D50 and I thought the Blues did a decent job of blocking his usual handball receives which robbed him of the chance to do too much damage.

I had a bad dream, I sense an upset!

Still have nightmares the time when Adam Goodes tore us apart.

But as Binman pointed out some of their killer forwards are out. And some have had poor seasons. Not unlike our forward line except it's come to life, especially last week.

I'm keen to see how it goes today. I'm predicting Kozzie to have a big day in what I understand to be fine conditions. And of course, see what some of the young ones do.

If we play like last week we will definitely win.

    I actually think this could be out biggest win of the season so far. Syd have improved their game but they can't score and they have some big outs. We'll be full of confidence after last week so I think we'll win easily here.

    Dees by 41.

    I'd reckon that our 'young' brigade will really stand up and be counted, in this game. Their experience(s) have grown, they have checked the videos of their weaknesses, then assimilated 'learnings' into progressive contributions to date. Should be a very pleasing opportunity to knock the Swans were it hurts, and I just love the bench line-up to help out.

    If we're relying on Viney today then we're in trouble

    Clarry or Viney going to Warner? and/or Heeny if they swap during the game.

    Big opportunity today to build momentum for the rest of the fast moving season.

    I’ve never seen the words “classy” and “Pattaya” used in the same sentence before. You are a pioneer Bitts. Enjoy your day.

    I am really looking forward to this game. A beautiful day for my walk to the Mcg. Very handy living in Richmond. I will go to the Hassett Room for couple of beers before the game, and then go to my reserved seat.

    It will be interesting to see if we kick better for goal with windy conditions.

    Could Rivers get a role on Heeney?

    It would be lovely to see us do something similar to what the Timberwolves are doing to OKC right now.

    Expecting to take this game out quite easily, and I now believe that the non nomination of Tommy is a ruse.

    • 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.
