GAMEDAY - Round 8

[Whispering_Jack 30,641]

It's raining and there's nothing much on other than to try to make it a double header - Scorps at Visy followed by Dees (or the Mighty Demons) at the G tonight.

It's a big night for the club - to have truly turned the corner we need to follow up wins with continued good performance. Judging on Sydney from last night, our effort a fortnight ago wasn't all that shabby and we know about last week in Adelaide. Let's see something even better tonight - a game where we dominate for the full four quarters would be nice but perhaps we're not quite ready for that yet.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

Agree this is a big night for us. We've been crying out to be respected for years and a win tonight following on from our stance during the week and the win in Adelaide will see the beginnings of respectability coming back our way! Dogs only game at the G all year and I can't remember it being a very happy venue for them away from their pristine conditions at etihad! Weather could suit us I reckon! Can't wait to be there

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

I am predicting

Mfc 78

Wb 61

Same as last week a scrap is playing into our hands for dogs to win they need to make it free flowing

[beelzebub 23,383]

Dees 4 points (win) Don't care what score is

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

We should win, however history in these circumstances is not in our favour.

[beelzebub 23,383]

History evolves

Cross 2 b BOG...just to rub it in

When did we last win back to back games?

[S.R.J 418]

Where do I park my car. What street is the entrance to the car park? Sorry first time ever driving to the G

Reduced capacity to the parking at the G for tonight. Gate 3 or 5 are the only ones open, from memory gate 5 is the one off Flinders st near Jolimont station but I'm not certain about that.

Someone explain to me why this isn't a suspension worthy offence?

Because he didn't break any rules. Claiming a mark or a kick isn't illegal; though I suppose there's nothing inherently different between pretending you kicked a goal and pretending someone clocked you in the mouth.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Finally, the goal review system isn't a total waste of time, but there should be some form of disincentive for players to lie/mislead umpires.

Telling the umpire you kicked a goal when your foot kicked air is plain embarassing. Hope he gets hit by the karma bus.

It would be nice to extend the staging laws to include claiming goals you clearly didn't kick or claiming points you clearly didn't touch, but neither of those things really bring the game into disrepute the way staging for free kicks does--which is why the AFL would probably never go for it.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

Any news on Frawley?

[45HG 1,559]

If we play four quarters, we'll win.

Should be a fine.

And suspension. Why not, I can't stand Monfries!

[Demons 32 235]

Anyone know what time the field of women is tonight?

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

We should win, however history in these circumstances is not in our favour.

history includes losing interstate and players getting shafted at the MRP!

Would certainly make quite the trifecta after the week we've had.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Dees paying 3.30 for 1-39 points, not bad methinks

Parking at the ground is a pain i reckon - takes ages to get out. But if that's not a problem i guess its ok. Coming from the wet i reckon a good option is somewhere on the road that circles around the Myer Music bowl parallel to St Kilda road and then walk from there. Down by the river is tricky at night as you don't get much movement. Up round st kilda road people are coming and going from the arts centre.

Its also free
