I have a children's birthday party at my place tonight, so after a couple of hours in the company of 6 year old girls dancing to Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, I'll be shepherding them out the door at 7 so I can scream at the TV in peace.

I haven't been overly impressed by the swans and their recent victories, however fantastic they look on paper.  Our injury concerns and run of short breaks should even things out and I am tipping dees by 10.  Clayton Oliver to be huge and give a big middle finger to everyone who questioned his hardness this week.

Go dees.

IMO their 6 straight losses has shocked them into playing half-decent football. They still have winners across the ground that get them over the line but the thing is the game and league has passed them by. That's not to say they are finished and can still very well make finals. But they are on edge atm. Would love to finish off their season tonight. Just wish we were meeting them in better circumstances with a 7-day break and fewer injuries. Such is life. Go Dees.

There are any number of reasons why we could / should lose tonight, but I'm not having a bar of any of them!

My reasoning:

  • our midfield can match their main strength (which is hardness around the contest), and Max will give us first use more often than not;
  • our pace will get them on the outside;
  • we have the flexibility / options to nullify their game style and key playmakers;
  • our resolve will wear them down.

Dees by 27 points.

Don't know why but I just get the feeling we will pump them tonight. With our ins I see Hunt playing forward and can see him kicking a bag especially if he gets out the back.

Been off work all week. Courtesy of poorly timed Appendicitis (Surgery during first half if West Coast Game - watched the last quarter on the phone in recovery room!). Have had nothing other this game to keep me preoccupied this week...... Has taken for [censored] ever to get to game day, now game day is taking for [censored] ever! Hurry up already!

Biggest game in a decade for us, will be an absolute cracker and no skin at all off anyones nose win or lose. Obviously another win is a huge statement but a loss is irrelevant in the scheme of making and winning finals. How good is enjoying footy again

Should be a classic, cant wait to see if the boys can bring the same intensity as recent weeks.

Does anyone know the last time we won 5 in row? Im guessing 2006.

Really slow day at work, and the minutes are ticking by soooo slowly. Pumped about tonight - will be home on my own so I can rant and scream at the telly. Might indulge in a few Squires' orchard crush ciders to help me through the game. 

Eat em alive Dees!

The AFL website almost gave me a heart attack:

"Has a star Giant blown a hammy" - with a picture of Max Gawn.

Turns out that star Giant was little Zac Williams from GWS.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
