If there's one thing we like to be on the Melbourne board, it's silly. :laughv1: But if there's another thing we appreciate, it's transparency. 🪟 And to be transparent, the "schedule thread" option is NO LONGER AVAILABLE. :crossmark: And that's bad, because it means we can't schedule these game day threads for midnight, feebly keeping up the pretence that we're sitting up patiently for the clock to tick over to post the thread on the actual day of the game.

Instead, I'm posting this today - that's Saturday - before the game tomorrow - that's Sunday. And I'm really, really sorry about it.

Anyway, we play Euro-Yroke this weekend in an ABSOLUTE BLOCKBUSTER. It's (at time of writing) 8th v. 14th. It's Goody v. Ross. It's the DEMONS v. the SAINTS. What could possibly be better? :sneaky:

We get Langdon back after attending a wedding last week. Tomlinson ostensibly replaces Lever, and van Rooyen ostensibly replaces Brown. Howes omitted is a bit of an odd one to me - Howes has been pretty good to my eye. But instead, in comes Hunter - a bit of a curious selection IMO given VFL form, but we'll see how we go! Billings goes out against ex-team Euro-Yroke.

The Saints have omitted three, and brought back Stocker, Ross, and Higgins.

We've collectively won three games out of the last 10, and that includes victories against North Melbourne (for Euro-Yroke) and Richmond (for us). Pretty grim reading for both sides.

My tip?

Narrm 49 - 63 Euro-Yroke. 🥳
 
Review thread should be fun, bit of Topkent fightin' round the forum with all the Dees fans who will get sucked back in by this win. Have fun Scythe94 🥳

This is the role I like to see ANB play, never the main but getting the ball to those who can make a big difference.

Good opportunity for some players to build confidence with a big last quarter here.

Pity they took Petty off really want him to shine so Melbourne can get Dawson and a first rounder for him.

We really should have traded Oliver. Our centre bounces look more balanced without him
I was against it but it does feel that way particularly with Oliver struggling. Doesn't have the strength or cleanliness that made him good. Even ANB looks better and more capable of winning a clearance when he's in there atm.
 
god its fun when we start binning them from everywhere and the crowd gets going

even the eternal pessemists like you blokes can surely appreciate it for 5 minutes
Cant allow myself to enjoy it anymore coz I know they'll be back to boring me to tears as soon as I do.

It would have given us the currency for Reid. I'll admit I thought our offer was overpay at the time but now I get why Eagles said no.
