You'd think greenwood and Goldsack with knocks should be fine to play. Wells looks no chance and we'll wait to see on Elliot. 

Pies playing pretty well at the moment so will be a tough game. Grundy will carve us up without a ruckman

Goldsack more than a 'knock'. If he plays a shoulder requiring surgery will have to hamper him.Greenwood I believe is a muscle injury which typically become worse after cooling down.Might get up but doubtful. Wells & Elliott definite outs.

Adams said that Dunn had not played in "a real successful club and was loving it at Collingwood". Dumb but shouldn't make a difference.Why say it though? Mind u, wouldn't be happy if one our blokes had done the same.Reminds me of Dawes saying that the Hawks were 'ripe for the picking'. We got smashed.

Because Taylor Adams knows all about success. You know, with his career high ladder position being 11th.

Wish I could be there. This should be one of the biggest QB games for a long time. Both teams aren't in the most amazing form but both have shown good patches through the year and a win is important for both teams season. A loss for either side will be big too. 

Hope to see a sea of Red and Blue at the MCG.

Maybe that's why Dunn loves being there, he's in his comfort zone.

Wow, a few key Collingwood players could be out! A chance to maybe move up to sixth in our marquee game? What can go wrong? We don't ever let these kind of opportunities slip.

Good win by the Pies today but Freo were shizen. Sandilands was a big miss. Fyfe had to do some rucking!Collingwood injuries came late. Hill was injured early on for the Dockers and had little influence. Pies have won three in a row but struggled in this and average against the Hawks & Lions. Our biggest concerns are coming off the bye and no Gawn.

So he was stating the obvious?

Queens birthday Facts:

Pies

-back from travel to WA,

-2 huge outs, 2 more possible, 

Dees

fresh after the bye

- possible return of Hogan or even Gawn

Both teams

- season defining game

- spot in the 8 on the line

blah, blah, blah, I can see a humiliating loss.

hope I'm very, very wrong

How much success has Adams seen at AFL level... Gees he loves media street.

I can see this being a very close game as there is a lot on the line for both teams.

If we get Spencer back in the ruck I will feel a lot more confidant going into the game.

Hopfully we get the chocolates

Fair bit of upside for us this week.

Pies return from Perth with injuries.

Salem back in, which will improve our disposal.  Maybe Hogan back  too.

Hunt should be better than last week and Tom Mac would have to be. Lewis's first half last week was diabolical and he should improve. Melksham found some form. Hannan continues to improve, Wagner too. Petracca had a poor one and will have a big crowd to lift him. 

It is effectively an 8 point game, so a win to us could kill off the Pies.
We are back at the G even though we haven't played well there this year, so something to prove there as well.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
