GAME DAY - Round 15

[Whispering_Jack 30,682]

Big day today starting with the Women's Game this morning.

It really does seem like yesterday when we were robbed beaten by the Doggies.

[dazzledavey36 55,362]

A must win today.

No excuses.

[ucanchoose 1,816]

Got the free tickets ready to go. The only reason to go to Etihad. Just need to put up with the wife's shopping first!

[Oneday 248]

Does anyone know if the free tickets are still available? Thinking about bringing the family to the game.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Dees by 24

Dawes to kick 5

Viney to have 30 touches

Howe best on ground

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Also the more I watch Dom Tyson the more he reminds me of luke hodge

[whatwhat say what 22,950]

Really curious to see how Dom Barry is used in his debut game.

Has been a tagger at vfl for last several weeks. Who will he match up on for Footscray? Liberatore is almost impossible to negate as he's that inside player - I'd like to see Nate Jones go head-to-head with him, though I suspect Picken may be given the job there.

Dom Barry a chance to run with Macrae, perhaps, as a player who's around the same age as him?

[Pipefitter 2,168]

Pumped! Let's go dees!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

You can watch the women's game online here.

Some seriously good skills on show and they actually turn around instantly to face the forward line after taking a mark. Something that the men's team don't do.

Actually, on a day like today, probably a good thing it's being played at Docklands (for the supporters at least).

Maybe as a defensive forward. Could be the sub also.

[What 18,810]

No excuses.

Yup

Will be a massive fail if we lose this one considering their outs

[Sir Why You Little 37,151]

Lose today and we may struggle to win again this season.

That would be very disappointing.

Win and confidence can grow.

Please win at that shiitbox venue..

[hardtack 10,627]

Our outs are not exactly unimportant either...McDonald, Cross, Jordie...also a first gamer coming in as well as a player with speed but lacking in skills when it comes to delivery by foot. We should win, but I would equally not be surprised if we lost...it is a game that could go either way.

Our outs dont compare to Ryan Griffen on his own, they also lost Grant and Roughead two important structural players

They also have a debutante, maybe even 2 come to think of it

Simply no excuses today

I disagree as they have a team that is probably better balanced than ours at this stage. Anyway, time will tell.

[Robot Devil 1,895]

@melbournefc: Dom Barry is our sub today. Nathan Hrovat for the Dogs #afldogsdees

Jason Tutt out for the Dogs. He has been replaced by Fletcher Roberts.

[Pates 9,660]

Hopefully the woman's match is an omen, it worked last year! The boys win I say we get the girls singing it with them in the rooms!

[DeeSpencer 26,083]

Interesting Salem stays in the starting 21. Big test for him to play well as a starter which he's only done once.

Barry will hopefully add some spark late as the sub, although it's defensive work that's got him in the team.

Not feeling too positive about today but I'll guess we will find out.

[Axis of Bob 11,855]

I was watching the women's game and was very impressed. The women's game is a very watchable one. Good skills and high quality footy.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

I don't think you can categorically say we should win this. It will come down to who takes their chances - last time the Dogs did exactly that and beat us. It certainly looks a fairly even contest on paper.

BTW who the hell is Fletcher Roberts?

[GrandOld 367]

Woman's game was great to watch.

[Seraph 1,824]

Georgiou is out there, he played for Casey yesterday though. Who is out?

Tall Defender forward who did a Pre Season with us. We were actually going to pick him up in the rookie draft the same pick we used on Jai Sheehan. But the Doggies beat us to him.
