That's the way Goodwin has to Coach tonight. Be daring for the whole game

Try players doing different things (within reason of course)

Move the ball with some precision

Sorry isn't trying players doing different things called tanking

Surely you are not advocating a return to Schwabworld

No late changes

I/C Bench Dom Tyson, Mitch Hannan, Tomas Bugg, Josh Wagner

Tonight will be interesting and against a top side like the crows it will tell us where we are at.

And Tom Bugg had better do something good tonight.  Hes taking Billy Stretchs spot in the team who we know will give us something especially on the wide open Adelaide Oval. 

Probably needed to play a shut down on Sloane with Vince i wld think tracc. If Sloane was allowed to roam, i doubt a swap with Stretch would give us a better advantage given the impact vs Sloane

Looking at the lineup on paper this is a far stronger team than any we have taken over there in at least a decade. I'm expecting a beating but the supporter in me not subject to MFCSS thinks we could actually do this. After all we won over there with Chris Dawes and Dean Terlich in the side

I can see it now. Bugg niggles all night and gets a bunch of disposals, while Adelaide score 3 goals from his errant disposal.

Adelaide will probably score that and more from our errant disposals regardless of Bugg or no Bugg chook. One of our worst last week in this regard was our most experienced Co Captain

We have nothing to lose tonight. I think a lot of so called 'experts' have ignored just how much hasn't gone our way this year. Injuries, suspensions, off field tragedy.

I hope the trip really galvanises the group and they just come out and have a red hot go. That's all I want. Desperation and a want for the hard stuff.

Go Dees!

We also had nothing to lose last week HBT, or the matches against Freo, the Cats and the Toiges

I hope we keep the forward line open and don't just bomb it in. 

There's worse forward lines going around than Watts, Weid, Garlett, Petracca and Kent.

I think Robert Smith said it best;

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me

Good points ET, and it's up to us to make the most of it.  We don't have the marking power, but if we can provide a contest then it gives us a big chance at ground level.

i suppose you still have  a 1hr25m to get legless then you can snooze through the disaster

Currently 3/4 pizzed as was my plan.

Depending on how the game pans out, I'm only a couple of shiraz from either peaceful oblivion or joyous drunkenness

Something relaxing about going into a game with no expectations.

I actually don't mind Hogan not playing, I think it frees up the likes of Watts and Petracca. It's the lack of a ruckman that hurts the most as Jacobs is excellent.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
