Joe Daniher can be a problem,I live in fear of him kicking a bag.Need a quick big bloke on him.

Frost comes to mind but no backline experience this year.Who do you recon will get him?

You know what, I don't mind that idea. Give Frost a bit of a test. We can always move Tommy to him if it doesn't work, but Frost was recruited as a backman. I'd like to see him tested. They won't do this though. They'll play him at CHF.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

As a Demon fan, can't help but be nervous but truth be told if we win by any less than 12 goals, I will be disappointed 

[Undeeterred 2,883]

We will smash these pretenders off the park.

We will need to win by a healthy margin to catapult past the Dogs and the Swans to the top of the ladder. (Maybe then and only then will some of the football commentators have to concede that maybe just maybe we might finish the year higher than the fourteenth position that most of them predicted!)

[Dockett 32 1,213]

Wonder if Jack Viney can force himself into the Team of the Week this week?

It's ok. I've got a plan for Daniher. He's on my ultimate footy bench. Time for him to start. His chances of having a good game against us will consequently plummet.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

We simply must punish these muppets, severely 

[flamindees 16]

Can't wait to see the boys this Saturday- haven't been to a game since 2013 as I've been in WA recovering from major leg injuries.It'll be be so great to finally be able to see our new young team give this mob an absolute pasting!! I sat through the debacle in '13, it's about time we got a little bit of payback!

On another note, does anyone know if the ticket booths at the G are open today- I need to reserve a seat where I don't have to walk up and down too many steps as that is  still a bit difficult for me to do!

"... and they have weaved their own basket of drug induced ineptitude."

Wonderful turn of phrase

[Scipio 5,868]

Our best chance at a shellacking in a long, long time. I hope we pulverise them to really send a message, and get up by at least 10 goals.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,533]

The OP says the score between the coaches is zero-zero. In their current jobs, sure, but they had a ding-dong time a decade or so ago. As a matter of interest, does anyone know what their overall coaching win-loss rate against each other is?

Buy online? You can then print out your ticket, or get a code on your phone to scan at the gates.

Hope you're on the road to full recovery.

[Skuit 9,380]

We haven't annihilated another Victorian team for half a decade. 12 goals and change. I also had a terrible dream about Viney's jaw. Just when you think you've shaken MFCSS it buries deeper down into your psyche. Go Dees!

[jumbo returns 6,545]

We need a big win to bury MFCSS.

[Skuit 9,380]

Or is a big win just part of an MFCSS long-game to toy with us even more?

[DubDee 21,259]

we havent won 2 in a row for 5 years (in two consecutive calendar weeks in the AFL)

what a disgusting record.  we need to win this and I hope its by over 100 pts.

i would love to wipe the smile of Sheedys face and see the biggish crowd of bombers fans after that 'stand up the dons' walk, crying into their lattes 

[Pates 9,537]

The closer we get the more I think we may well go in with no changes. Aside from Petracca and Trenners no one seemed to play extremely well in the intraclub match simulation, I heard on Fox Footy that they are likely to give Brayshaw a run in the VFL, and from the sounds of it OMac might well get up for the game on Saturday. 

While I would like to see our best 22 played I think it's a good thing from Roos/Goodwin/match committee to back the same boys in to get the job done again. 

Hopefully at the VFL there'll be several outstanding performances that force others to perform in the seniors. Casey will be looking very good this week; Brayshaw, Lumumba, Dunn, Trengove, Petracca etc, the first few in particular you'd expect to get full match time.

Shows how far we have come, when we can win a game and than say we don't have to rush the players mentioned above into the team and let them force their way in.

This game will be played between the ears for our boys. 

As opposed to?

[Bombay Airconditioning 5,977]

The bigger test will be in round 3 v Norf.

[stinga81 210]

Happy with 3-4 goal win and the players don't play the game before heading out there. 

I don't think we're at the stage yet when we're handing out 10-12 goal beltings. Those days will come eventually.

I feel the same way, although I do understand those who won't be happy with that.  I don't think we are far enough down the track yet that we can thrash teams, even those like Carlton, but another good display of football and a win with no injuries will do me very nicely.

[Demon Jack 6,388]

We have a real chance at a ten goal win here. Last one I remember was GWS back in 2012 when they were the newcomers.

[3Dee 1,153]

Please don't kick 7. 18 again. need this % thing.
