GAME DAY

[Whispering_Jack 30,640]

Late change: Bartram in & Nicholson out.

Evans to wear the green vest.

[Eth 4]

No changes for Collingwood, Goldsack the sub.

Heading off now with my sports top on underneath my jumper - only collared shirt I've got

[Samsara 65]

Carn the Dee's. Would love to see them win but as long as they are competitive over the 4 quarters I will be a happy man.

[pitchfork 181]

MCC filling beautifully, just watched Neita lead us to a mighty victory on the scoreboard, saw Tappy, Bail, Garland, Fitzy go for a rehab walk on the G ("remember, this is what it feels like...")

Melbourne to turn up, win, Scull to sign a contract live at DB's presser and wipe his arse with whatever piece of toilet paper he may or may not have signed with the Midgets!

[pitchfork 181]

Robbo just performed live with his band, now our very own David Bridie with My Friend the Chocolate Cake. Good show so far, and no sign of the flag, any opera singers, or, dare I say it, the trumpeter...

Go Dees.

[pitchfork 181]

What a brain dead post

+2 (my dad and I)

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

good to hear bartram is in. any news why nicho is out?

[pitchfork 181]

Teams on the ground, Nicho out, Barty in, Evans sub, as mentioned earlier. The filth have the filthiest warm up gear ever. Look like they're wearing big baby one-piece suits.

[pitchfork 181]

Eddie and Adrian Anderson walking through MCC chatting like best buds...

[Sideshow Bob 2,410]

Watching the warm up - was confident all week till now. They are much much more physically developed than us. Just a little concerned about the boys versus men scenario now

[pitchfork 181]

Nah, white makes anyone look fat. Don't lose confidence!

[pitchfork 181]

12 pairs of kids carrying 12 MFC premiership cups around the boundary. CS grinning nearby. David Bridie back on stage.

MFC banner: "Beware the Demons, Fierce With Deesire".

Dave Bridie doing his great version of Grand Old Flag.

[pitchfork 181]

Both teams due to run out between two rows of kids carrying their premiership cups.

Kudos to the MFC for presenting My Friend The Chocolate Cake. Sensational rendition of It's a Grand Old Flag!

Watts work rate... building!

Nice run by Morton there too.

First blood!

[rhaz 342]

How has Cloke got free in the same spot twice?

[Bimbo 940]

Would be grateful for regular updates

Stuck in Sydney waiting for Melbourne plane

[rhaz 342]

Melb 14 - Coll 24 at QTR Time.

Sylvia has kicked both our goals - and both were set shots received from Watts kicks inside 50.

The ball has spent something like 75% of time in Collingwoods forward half. As per usual we are struggling like hell to get the ball out from kick ins. Cloke already looks to be monstering Rivers 1-on-1.

No comment on our forward line because the ball just isn't getting down there.

[rhaz 342]

Sylvia kicks our 3rd, and has kicked all our goals.

[rhaz 342]

Cloke smashing riv unfortunately.

[rhaz 342]

Melb 20 - Coll 42.

We look okay when it goes in our 50... it just doesn't bloody get down there.

[Guest watts04]

we r hopeless....thats an update

[rhaz 342]

We're playing the best team in the comp who are right on their game, really disciplined. Doesn't look like we're lacking effort, just being outplayed, outexperienced and outskilled.

[Jack7 528]

29 inside 50's to 11!!!

Put Frawley on Cloke FFS.

What is Bailey thinking?
