GAME DAY - Round 10

[Emerald 1,716]

Hoping the likes of Brayshaw and Hogan make today's game more entertaining to watch than last years game.

[titan_uranus 22,520]

If Collingwood win today they'll have 7 wins and they will literally have beaten the 7 bottom sides on the ladder.

They're nothing special.

Richmond and the Bulldogs are better sides and we beat them, easily. If our players remember that, and don't view the QB stage plus the big crowd and the opponent as being more meaningful than they actually are, then we are absolutely in this.

[Demon Dynasty 15,636]

I didn't. He just hasn't been the same in the 8 games since.

That was his 200th game and he really lifted for it.

Just hope playing his old side gives him the extra motivation to lift again and continue for the season, not just a cameo game.

Hasn't hit some of the heady heights with the Pies but then he is surrounded by players who also dont rank as highly as he had around him there so I dont think you can expect "like for like" form every match playing in this list.

I still rate him though. Very highly when played in his traditional position off HB. Not sure he is suited to any mid field focussed role and woildn't rate him as highly when asked to play a role there.

The AFL ratings also has him right up there ranked 13 out of approx 120 small/medium defenders (and rising). Approx one quarter of the matches used for that rating have been with the MFC now.]

Blues skies and a huge crowd building outside of the G. Its almost like a finals type atmosphere.

Just hope the boys can get up today and experience that real winning feeling in front of a big crowd!

Cmon Dees!

Blood spilt for Danners today Demons

Do not care how you do it.

Contest by Contest

For God Sake kick goals. Just take 'em on

I think the Demonland wrist-slitting will give us enough spilled blood. We probably won't need any more.

[Lucifers Hero 37,176]

I thought we played quite well last year.

We were fairly close near 3/4 time when the umpire for some inexplicable reason denied Bernie's goal after marking and playing on.

Then the pies kicked a goal just before the siren so it was a 2 goal swing.

We couldn't get our mojo back.

We have a better team this year so expecting a much closer result.

Could go either way.

[bjDee 1,247]

Just finished a bike ride and will be heading to the G with Son of bjDee. Heartened by the great wins of Tiges on Friday and Scorps on Saturday. Here's hoping the Dees turn up today and give it a massive crack.

That's part of the the problem, as soon as something goes against us we go into a melt.down. Edited June 8, 2015 by america de cali

oh yeah I called the ruckman late change. Now we look too tall with Fitz.

Could MFC potentially make the change of Grimes for Fitzpatrick now or is it too late?

Always seem to go in too tall!

[Guest]

Should throw Fitz forward now.

[What 18,810]

wow, Witts late out but Fitzy still in the side.....

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

wow, Witts late out but Fitzy still in the side.....

tactical by them, surely.

[praha 10,293]

I'm scared.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,271]

Wouldn't Fitz play on Jesse White all day?

it would be good to see the final team before submitting your own. But unless you pull a "injury in the warm up" I think that's all we can do. We look far too tall now.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Who is Fitzpatrick going to play on now?

[Wormburner 674]

I'm scared.

Scaredypants!!!!

Ps I am too

[Ethan Tremblay 28,436]

Scaredypants!!!!

Ps I am too

Me three. I can't shake the horrible feeling I have about this game.

[Jaded No More 58,350]

Great to see such a good turnout for Cure MND and lets hope the boys give us a win to cure depression in long suffering Melbourne fans.

[Seraph 1,714]

Worried that they've dropped one of their talls, yet Fitzy is still in. Feels intentional from Collingwood.

[Maggot 1977 263]

Smart by them - dumb from us !! Last week we were caught out horribly by being too tall .

[Samael 560]

Not a good marking day with this wind. I reckon the dees will be competitive but it does not bode well for Hogan and his marking prowess. 2 to 4 goals the pies.

[Seraph 1,714]

Looks like Fitz will play forward and be our second ruckman. Warming up with Gawn in the middle.
