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

    A 'classy' bar in Pattaya. Is there a 2nd Pattaya I don't know about?

    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.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
