Tonight's the Night...

It's gonna be alright...... ain't nobodys gonna stop us now !!!!!!

I hope Buddy tries to take on Frosty, (Cale Hooker-style) down the wing.  he will get eaten alive!

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.

I have been up since 4:30 going to be a long day before I jump on the train this afternoon 

Pffttt, 3:30 here, did you enjoy your sleep in?

I am Nervcited for this game.

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.

how many season defining victories must a team have before the season is actually defined......

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.....

I am enjoying my 59th birthday today and hope to celebrate with a melbourne win at the mcg tonight. I will be very nervous and toey when I grt on the train to go to the mcg. I will be going to the Lindsay Hassett room before the game for a nice meal and a couple of beers. It is great to be back on the big stage tonight. CARN THE DEMONS.

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. 

The old mfc supporter in me can't see us winning but hopefully they keep proving me wrong!

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

We win by 5 goals.

This will be the third memorable win missed by poor old Bitter

Dogs - Kotakinabalu

West coke - Singapore

Now Swans

Bitter in Bangkok!!

Major boil-over coming up... 11 goal win to the Dees.

enjoy the orange flag boat

just stay on it as it heads up river ... when it reaches the end there is a great street food market

One of the best and cheapest river cruises in the world !

Go Dees !!

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.
