I think there is no doubt we all love this club but it's just a very FRUSTRATING time for us (ie the last 10yrs).  

50+ years mate....

Lose today and we can forget about finals, I'm confident the boys will win however 

If we can turn 5-6 or 6-5 at the half way point of the season I think we are a big chance. Makes today super important. After that we most likely get Hogan and Gawn back ( or soon after) and given they are probably in our top five re importance to the team I think we may make a run at it late.

Everyone raving about how inconsistent we are but in every game this year,  half way through the last quarter,  we've been a big chance. Not many other sides can say that and that is WAY more consistent than we've been in years. Big strides forward.....just a few steps short when ist really counted.  Im waiting for the game they really stink it up and hope it isnt this one! 

Beautiful day here in Alice

hot?

Beautiful. It's Cloudy at the moment though. Might warm up a little if the sun comes out.

i wouldn't have thought the heat will be an issue.

25 degrees at present

Based on recent days it will be 29 degrees at  game time dropping to around 20 degrees by the end of the game.

just scroll down for current temp in Alice and surrounds

Jeffy will be wearing No. 67 and Nev will be wearing No. 50 during today's game.

That site is showing the Apparent Temp as being only about 20.5, due to quite a low level of humidity and a strong breeze, -  gusting up to 32 Kms. 

Temp is not going to be a problem based on that and a lack of talls might be an advantage.

didn't notice the wind... could be  a factor if it continues at that strength.

It is however predicted to lessen later in the day:

  Mostly sunny. Light winds becoming south to southwesterly 20 to 25 km/h in the middle of the day then becoming light in the evening

Love your optimism but I think we will have the same number of wins as last year (or one more) at the end of home and away. (without the big losses of last year) We were lucky with few outs last year and I think the Freo game will come back and bite us. Confident of today but lets be honest,,,,God himself could not predict this clubs form.

Current conditions

Tis perfect conditions for TMAC to helicopter kicks through the goals at the moment...

In a sense, if we lose today it will provide a great relief by knowing our finals chances are effectively zero.

In all seriousness where do you have them now ?

I have them already as effectively zero. Lose and they are.

I think we'll win today. I believe in the Easter rabbit too... actually ive seen more E Rabbits over the years than wins !!

 

Losing today is not an option.

Playing finals is the best feeling, and we have been starved of it for 11 years.  

We are making the 8 this season, end of story. Anything less is unacceptable.

And then with no expectation we'll roar home to sneak in to the 8

Here at the ground, nice breeze not to hot. Bugg was having shots at goal.  Lets hope he kicks them this week . No ablett is a plus. Im expecting a good win. No excuses today. 

I'm replicating conditions to get a "game day" experience.

I've turned the AC in the home cinema to 29 and sitting in my red and blue jocks. 

An esky of iced stubbies is at  hand.

My attempt to show the colours is failing because  my guts is hanging too low. Can't do it all I suppose.

Melbourne by 19 points or I shall spank the maid.

Thoughts on Paul Roos saying Oscar McDonald should swing forward as he "was a good forward as a kid" DL ?

Edited May 27, 20178 yr by DominatrixTyson

that's now 3 low scoring games this week. let's hope we pile on a massive score

Is the app streaming this game? Doesn't seem to be a steam on there yet.

Cmon... you'll spank her win or lose

Mmmm...yes most likely.

MFCSS logic (in the event of a win):

Why couldn't we play like that against North?

Gold Coast are a rabble. It means nothing.  

Well according the the W/L ratio, we are up for a win.

That being said, thank god this game isnt at the G, otherwise id be subjecting myself to the inevitable heart palpitations again.

No Ablett is huge. Control the middle and we win. I hope.
