Just watched the replay at the ground of the 2004 QB match. Troy B. and Peter Walsh and Scott Thompson were seriously good players.

Haven't we gone back a long way since then? And will the bloody ground announcer shut the fsck up please??

I reckon Collingwood are falling apart - Collingwood says forward Andrew Krakouer will return

It wasn't all that long ago that Krakouer was the matchwinner for them and we would surely have struggled to match him up today. They've also lost Jamie Elliott who would have been a bit of a worry too. Elliott's been replaced by first gamer Adam Oxley. I'd like to see three of our blokes corral him in the first five minutes and give him a bit of an 'initiation'. :lol:

Won't happen. Oxley's the sub. Tappy's ours.

I did the old match up thing, and I can only find four winners for us in the starting 18 - Sylvia over Macaffer, Watts over Williams, Dawes over Reid and Nate Jones over Blair. And the last two are really a split decision and suspension of disbelief that Jones won't be run off by Pendelbury, Swan or Sidebottom.

I know they never match up like that, but it is a good 'finger in the air' measure of how things might pan out.

The answer: Not well.

for some reason I am excited about the game

I feel it will be close

Yes i am insane

I'm having an inexplicably mixed feeling about this game.

Nervous in a way I haven't often been for years, like it could actually be positive. Nervous in anticipation of a significant game.

Strange. Figured I should post this before the game just in case it turns out to be some kind of prescience.

The universe is telling me not to go - first can't find car keys, then can't find membership, then train cancelled - its nearly started and I'm not even at Blackburn...

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
