GAME DAY - Round 19

[Whispering_Jack 29,758]

It's been more or less seven years since we last won a home and away game at Etihad Stadium although I think it might have been called something else then. At least today, I reckon the roof might be open and the players may not remember that it's the place where they've stuffed up on numerous occasions.

Actually, when I think about it we should have won twice there this year. The first time we were decimated of ruckmen and key forwards, lost two players early and kicked 10 behinds in a row and the second time, the result could have gone either way after we suffered some early lapses.

We want 100 minutes (or however many there are in a game these days) to win it today.

watts to play back again and dominate the game, McKenzie to keep Rockliff to 18 touches

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,732]

Anyone know if the top level will be open?

[Chook 15,012]

Has anyone else had a bit of their enthusiasm for watching footy sapped away by this two week break from watching Melbourne play?

[Dee Dee 1,105]

Does anyone know if my MCC/MFC Platinum membership card admits me to todays game?

Anyone know if the top level will be open?

Further to this, does anone know if the Redlegs memberships allow entry to level 1 if the 3rd level is open? Or is it just general admission? I've asked the question on twitter to both the club and etihad but yet to get a reply.

[Coup Cooper 610]

I say a typical Melbourne "lay down sally" Demons loss, where we loose it in the last 5 minutes today!

Sorry everyone, just saw it on thier match day info. All MFC members get level 1 GA in aisles 1, 2, 3, 4, 46, 47 and 48. Hope this is helpful to others.

I will lose the plot if we lose another game after leading in time on of the last qtr.

That would be nice but Hanley is the one we really need to curtail, his possessions are the ones that hurt. Cut him out and we will go along way to winning today.

Haha I wouldnt get stuck into this book then!

[Pates 9,659]

Really gutted I can't go today (or the rest of the year for that matter!) but I really just want a win for the boys today and the huge crowd that's going to turn up!

On that subject, if you're on the fence about going, just do it! It's a nice day (rare thing currently) and I'd love to hear that we made a lot of noise at that terrible place!

[Wiseblood 24,637]

JKH is our sub, McGrath the sub for the Lions.

Agree with the sentiment - though unfortunately with that ground it doesn't really matter. A nice degree can be sub-arctic inside!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

JKH as the sub is just crazy, I do not understand this at all.

[Seraph 1,824]

The roof better be open today.

[samcantstandya 1,042]

Anyone know whether it starts at 1 or 2pm?

[Josh 1,420]

1:10pm

We could have made anyone the sub and there would still be people unhappy about it. It's the Demonald way every week.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Melbourne look like a far better team when he is playing.

[sydneydee 687]

Down from Sydney for the weekend. Looking forward to watching today's game live.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

20 mins from kickoff and an almost empty train.... One of the rare advantages of being a Demon!

Hoodoo breaking day ahead, enjoy!

i really liked dean kent as sub. he had a great impact against port 2 weeks ago. JKH should start IMO.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

I'll be very upset if we lose

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

I reckon it's worse open on a bright sunny day, can be impossible to see the footy at times!
