Astrology is a huge load of carp, but I reckon a few stars are aligning today:
Malthouse under the pump for a whole range of reasons.

The whole Blues camp whinging and moaning because of their pathetic "entitlement" mentality.

The Blues playing worse footy than any other team - even us.

We get Dawes in which dramatically alters the way forward.

Viney and McKenzie to join Cross and Jones - this allows the outside runners to get up and running.

At some stage, the Dees game plan and personnel will click for 4 quarters, probably against a team like the Blues

This is very even game.

Midfields evenly matched but ours in slightly better form.

A lot of turnovers from both teams. This will determine today's result.

We have to stop Lachie Henderson - his swing game could be the difference.

And I am going for the big one - this is Watt's break out game. If he gets running, they do not have someone who can go with him.

JKH to play 4 quarters and burn it up.

Dees by 10 points.

Somebody bring the tissues!

King size and extra thick I would imagine.

The question on everyone's lips.

Which team will win the replay of the Kreuzer Cup?

the wright cup?

I'd like to see you ask the first question Smith

First question - do you still maintain Carlton is in the Premiership window you sanctimonious [censored]?

I'm just about to head off. I've backed off on the punt a bit but I still put 20 on the Dees.

Don't know why but I am going. I just feel disloyal watching from home. I do not have an excuse not to go. At least I can get a hot chocolate and some jam donuts to ease the pain. I dislike Carlton and their supporters and just pray today is the day. Go Dees.

My rule has always been Jam donuts only allowed on the way home if we win. Lets just say I haven't had to worry about watching my weight in recent years. Dawes, Dunn and Frawley forward will straighten us up particularly if the rain stays away. It may actually give us a feel as to whether not having something to kick to has been the issue. I just hope we are the aggressor for once.

I'd like to see the Malthouse presser should we win.

Ever seen that scene in Scanners where the news reader's head explodes?

Would be a pig in mud if we win today.

Sadly, we won't

I would like our boys to take on one Robert Balboa's advice today (as said at the start of this clip).

Not sure about our own bloody website tipping Carlton to win!!!

Wtf? That is just bizarre.

Seriously, don't do a match preview on the club website if you're going to tip the opposition, and especially if it that opposition is struggling like Carlton are at the moment.

I don't mind it - their giving an honest prediction - isnt that what people keep asking for - some honesty on the website?

Anyway its probably just copied from the AFL website.

$20 on the dees here as well. I will be going and want to be there when we smash them. I want to see the look on Mick Meltdowns face when he realises he is going to get sacked Cant wait.

Granted, but to go so far as to tip the opposition? There is a place for having a bit of faith in the team, however misplaced it might be.

It's an article on the AFL website that has also been published on our website. It's not "our" article per se.

Yeah I get that, I just wouldn't publish it on our site. That might be just me though.

Carlton are weak rubbish. Sad to say, we are worse by 10 goals-ish.

I wouldn't either, but I don't think it matters a fig what MFC people think when it's non-MFC people publishing the articles.

we are paying 6.25

three 10-goal losses in our last three encounters

more pain ahead

Cant watch today. Going to walk down the beach and get updates on my phone. At least I will be in an awesome environment if we lose.

Don't worry about checking the scores, just watch to see if any of us are walking out into the ocean...

Im getting to depressed. I threw the remote at the tv last game and its so not like me to go off

To hell with those who say you shouldn't do comedy, Stu.

Irrespective of their form when they play us they always seem to make us into chop suey. Having said that, it appears to be our best chance so far this season to grab a win. With our inabilty to score goals it is a must that Dawes gives us some forward line presence.

Just win Demons.

I hate Carlton with a vile passion.

Having to play home games without sponsor signage at their old dump in the 90's was a disgrace.

Fcuk you Carlton.

I don't care how you do it Demons.

JUST WIN.
