If our workrate is up we will win. Win the Uncontested possies and I think that will be mirrored on the scoreboard.

I miss the mcg. Stuck here in wollongong (not a bad spot) I miss catching the train to the g with my kids to the game. Gettiing on at Elsternwick station with a train always 15 mins late. The nervous expectations. The banter amongst fans. The shelling out of my money on expensive junk food. The roar of the crowd. The wiity comments. The not so witty comments from the other mob. The fingernail biting. The heartbreak. The dispair on the train home. Its all good. What a game.

I agree. Brings back fond memories. Playing the old enemy has always been a highlight of the year. Being stuck in Bangkok I miss the same things. I usually watch it via a computer link but today I might find a pub to watch it. I just hope that there aren't too many  Wobble supporters there sometimes a few get through Thai immigration despite their best efforts at pest control.

Perhaps they should count teeth before letting them in and stop the boguns getting into Bangers.

Matchups

 

Matt Jones to play as a defensive forward on Penelebury if he plays off half back

Heritier on Howe -  run off lazy Jeremy at every opportunity

Bugg to tag Treloar -  knows his game from GWS days

Dunn on Cloke

Jetta on Fasolo

T Mac on Moore

 

 

Expecting

Nathan Brown to Hogan

Oxley to VIney

Goldsack to Watts

Greenwood to Nate Jones

Tyson and Sidebottom to go head to head

Ben Ken and Varcoe to go head to head

 

 

Goldsack a late omission, replaced by White. Maybe an opportunity for Jack to do some damage.?

I have to say i'm a bit gun shy backing the dees but good value i agree.

The real value might be over 39.5 at around $13. I think the pies are vulnerable to a big loss. They will come out breathing fire but that will suit us down to the ground as that's our go these days. Its one reaon why i had was reasonably confident going into last weeks game (ie the roos are a physical side and like hard footy)

Their problem is their system, offensively and defensively. They are struggling to put a score on the board and stopping the opposition scoring. 120 points to the saints last week is a huge worry for a defensively minded unit (usually).

If we get on top i suspect they might crumble.

As a rule i don't like to quote myself. But rules are meant to be broken. Its nice when a game plays out how you thought - particularly if that the preview involves predicting a dees win.

A great win by the boys and am so gals i went (snuck in the last quarter of the casey game too).

At one point the pies got a (lucky) centre clearance and i heard a pies fan yell 'finally a centre clearance!!!'. How things change. I've spent much of the last 10 years yelling much the same thing. Its brilliant that we are now winning more than our fair share of centre clearances.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
