If we win today we will move up to 13th on the ladder, but will still be three wins outside the eight sadly.

I am relying on great commentary from those on Demonland today. I am in New York and have done my bit. Popped into the local church, lit a candle and put in a few requests. One was for a great win today and the other was for Dean Kent's hammy which I heard during the week from my source at Casey was not looking so good after scans early in the week.

Go Dees.

[Thehardtackler 785]

Look at the speed we moved the ball in 2006. Players went at the ball with real intent and look at the spirit that Daniher instilled in the team. Some of those things seem to be developing in the present team.

14th actually, unless we belt the saints by a lot. This is a game we really need to win, we let the last one slip against them so the boys should be up for this one. We said at the start of this run of 3 games that we needed to be at least 2-1, we already dropped the essendon game.. To come out of this block of games 1-2 would be depressing. Saints are just as bad at the G as we are at etihad, if we don't win this game I'll be extremely pi$$ed off.

Well no - if we beat St. Kilda we go ahead of them anyway because that would give us 6 wins to their 5.

I was at that final in 2006. McLean played a blinder; particularly in the last quarter. The highlight was just before half time. Gehrig marked at about 50 m. He went back to take the kick. Carroll was on the mark. He (Gehrig) then played on. Got caught (holding the ball) and stuffed his knee in the tackle. Off for the rest of the match. Hahaha!! Happy memories. (Not much since.) I'm going today. Not at all confident. Go Dees!!!

Go Dees.

If that is the case finish his season immediately and get him ready for round 1, 2016

He is far too valuable to be stuffing around with for the sake of 6ish games at the back end of a season that holds no real meaning

Holy hell football really has gone backwards in recent years. I'd forgotten how good that was to watch.

The next year Daniher brought in that "run and carry" game plan and footy for me hasn't been the same since.

[jumbo returns 6,733]

Gee, we had some players that could really kick!

TJ, Davey, Yze, White....precision.

[Ted Lasso 19,014]

Pretty worried about today, we tend to back up our wins with [censored] games

What's the weather like over there?

The suns out now but anything can happen by kick off.

In lieu of Bernie Vince, perhaps you could point your daughter in the direction of Dean Kent. Her hands could work magic on his hamstrings Sue.

Windy and showers in mornington

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Doing the "big" drive from Geelong to the MCG like i do every week. Hopefully our boys come out motivated from last time, but who knows.

I can cash out through sportsbet for my multi and snare $175, or i can wait and if the dees get up i snare $350. Haven't decided yet.

Of course they played with intent.

That was an Elimination Final.

The next year they slipped to 14th with 5 wins.

Not so much intent or spirit then.

As for today.

They need to redeem themselves for last debacle and smash this mob.

not after the controversy.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

will i be able to park at the G'? I usually turn in off Punt Road but i saw that it is restricted parking today?
Parking never really is an issue as we rarely have humongous crowds.
