I remember a few years ago, when we were a Finals team, we were playing a Lions side at the Gabba that were bereft of their best players due to injury. We became quite warm favourites due to their 'outs'.

Naturally, we were thumped.

 

They interviewed our mate Trav Johnstone, and TJ indicated that there are plenty of players that can take Browny's spot if he doesn't get up.

Sounds like something that moron would say

They have plenty of other game-smashing super champion goalkickers down at Brissy that can come in

 

Please explain???

international students were offered free tickets to the game this Saturday.

I think we were beaten before we took the field against Brisbane for a few years, in fact even when they were the whipping boys of the competition we used to struggle against them.


Disappointing.

I was looking at this week showing us where we are at as a team against a quality side, and I was really wanting to see how Chipper, Warnock and our backline would perform up against two massive units.

I'm not complaining about it at all, it should make the job a little easier for the guys, but i do love watching our up and comers and how they approach playing on a superstar.

Don't Worry, we will have many more opportunities to play the Twin Towers-Right now Game Time & Cohesion is what our backline needs

Playing against Brown & co with another 15 odd games under the Belt can only help.

Bailey has got to make sure they ALL stay focused. It's still going to be one hell of a game.

Will they wear the "Paddle Pop" jumper????

 

anyone reckon we should have chip and warnock on fev?

one of them try to block his lead?

just a suggestion haha :)

If Brown is out play Chip on Fev & get him to run off him all night. Fevola won't be able to go with him up the ground.

meh which ever is better haha :)


People have lost their minds.

I suppose I see where you're coming from, but you've gotta back the club. I'll take any opportunity to move to 3-2!

Hmm.. possible merit in trying to cut out Fev completely by focusing on him, and rotating the freshest possible opponent on Brown. He may be hit for every attacking thrust and kick eight in three quarters, but he'll be buggered for the last. It'll be like Nathan Thompson's big day out which ended because Carroll kept running him onto the wing.

Other than that, we'd have to be trying to lay a tackles record. No tactic in defence is going to work if those two are getting good delivery.

In the meantime, we've also got to just keep on attacking like crazy people. There's going to be a bunch kicked against us, we just gotta get one more.

There's my plan - cut out Fev so Brown has to do all the work/leads, tackle like mad, and keep pouring on the attack.

Not impossible.

I can't believe we have only played the Lions at the G once since 2000. That was last year and we won by a point. Amazing stat.


Good news for us. Also their pinch hitting forwards (Clark, Luey) won't be suited to the conditions at all. Our small, quick forward line will work in our favour.

Lets smash em and get in the 8.

Gee that is an amazing stat...guess it was all those home games we gave up 4 all those years...glad thats in the past

at least one of those was a famous victory

God some people on this site are so anal retentive and smart arses. We can't all be Phd's in spelling (who would want to be, you must have such a happy and interesting life). I thought this site was all about the celebration of the wonderful MFC to which anyone could contribute no matter what their education and income. Unfortunately there are some melb supporters who think membership of the MCC and the ownership of an Old Melburnians tie (both of which I have but you are welcome to them) is more important than contributing to the progress of the team of the red and the blue.

Some of our fellow supporters are so far up themselves it is not funny.

You see, the thing about Melbourne supporters is they take pride in edumacation.

It stops them from doing dumb stuff like comparing Jack Watts to Luke Molan, then mouthing off about 'contributing to the progress of the team of the red and the blue'.

Most of the time.

fixed


That was at the gabba different here

Christ ! Thanks. I better cancel the plane tickets.

Shattering news. I was truly looking forward to watching him live at the G on a saturday night. Any chance you get to watch one the greatest forwards of our time take on melbourne is one worth watching.

I remember watching Carey destroy us one friday night, kicked 10 I think from memory. I was pretty young but I will never forget it. Not saying I like watching my team being torn to bits but its something you cant help but admire.

No excuses now, Brisbane are not ST Kilda and will struggle without Brown. There are a few little things beginning to go are way. Big chance if we can bring the intensity of the past weeks

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
