There is no more appropriate time in the course of Demon events than today for our football team to take a stand for truth, justice and the Australian way.

Over the past eight years we've been ravaged, beaten and humiliated by the least worthy of participants in the AFL competition. Twelve months ago, we had our faces rubbed into it by this noxious vermin at some god foresaken wilderness to our north. We went back there again earlier this year and they flogged us within an inch of our lives.

Enough with the humiliation!

Now that the game's back on the MCG let's teach these suckers the meaning of humility. It's time to draw a line in the sand and not be satisfied to win by 7 goals to 5 which is where we were heading a fortnight ago content to drift home against Brisbane before our wheels fell off.

No. In the words of Winston Churchill, today we're going to fight:-

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

We just have to win today, and would love to see us to top 100 points (not margin, just our score).

I'm going overseas today.

The last time I was traveling overseas during a game was when we lost by 186 points.

Good luck, everyone.

You sure you haven't racked up a few more frequent flyer miles over the last couple years?

as i said in the changes thread this is a huge game from the MFC

GWS have never won on thew MCG

theyve beaten us the last two times

We need to send a message today, A loss would mean any improvements we've supposedly made this season are an aberration

We HAVE to win today.
The goal posts have moved somewhat with our defense and percentage improving. Jonesy said in an interview mid week that the coaching staff now want the players to run both ways (but this time on offence) and take the game on more. I read this as they want us to attack, take our fate into our own hands and WIN as opposed to strangling the opposition and hoping we fall over the line.

Over to you MFC!

Giants are tanking... tis a dead rubber really.

Big win today would be great, this is an oppoutinity to show some of the young GWS blokes we are on the right track so they can request trades to mfc

That reduces the crowd numbers by a half.

It would be pretty embarrassing to not beat a team who is intentionally trying to lose.

Despite the giants engaging in some serious list management, I remain doubtful of how we can kick a winning score.

Our midfield will be seriously outclassed I fear.

Todays hopes...

A win

We kick 15+ goals

Someone to kick 5 or more

Tyson as BOG

Watts to lay 6 tackles

Watts and Howe forward

No more than 3 backward kicks

Giants are tanking... tis a dead rubber really.

Not sure why people think that

They will be out to win today

If they pull any dodgy late changes I will of course admit you were right and i was wrong

Unfortunately, that pretty much sums it up.

anyone who watched our last Q against Lions would suggest we are also tanking, could be a interesting game, a rushed behind could be enough to win

Yes, one might suggest that we might be tanking. But we haven't been showing nearly as much interest in Petracca as GWS has (from my understanding).

GWS want to lose more than we do and we want to win more than GWS... We won't lose this.

Dees by 26

Salem sub

Gawn @ $11 most goals, value

this game doesn't excite me.

this game doesn't excite me.

Excites me

I hope Salem isnt the sub , that would suck

Matt Jones hopefully

Smash them Dees

BOG to Nathan Jones and another 3 brownlow votes in the bank

I reckon he is going to finish higher than people might think, won't win, but I reckon top 10

Not sure why people think that

They will be out to win today

Clearly you haven't seen their 'off to early surgery list'..

Excites me

I hope Salem isnt the sub , that would suck

Matt Jones hopefully

Smash them Dees

Salem and the younger brigade excite me. The game itself, is a dead one i feel.

Gee BBub, the last time two teams tanked on the same day TJ got 42 uncontested possessions.

And we won. Although you could say Caaaarlton lost doubly because they picked up Kreuzer

2 other cups. Bruce Gibbs cup. Nic Nat cup. Couldn't get our hands on it.
