Ben Brown is the worry. 

Isn't he just.

Put him down for 5 goals.

Stupid North. They're so irrelevant, they should play their matches during the week, like at 11am on a Tuesday - no-one would notice the difference, and the crowd would be the same.

Would love to give them an absolute smashing, but we won't. Ben Brown will get ahold of us, but I think we will get up in a tight one.

Serious question, apart from the 56 North supporters, does anyone actually not despise North, their coach, their players, their song, their jumper, their irrelevance, their general existence in this world?

Jaded we need North, someone has to have less members than us.

We have Gold Coast and GWS for that!

I think the fear of this game is typical MFCSS. Same symptoms as last week when a lot of people didn't feel like we could beat port. I think we (including myself) underestimate how far this side has come this year.  

If we drop points this weekend then we probably don't deserve to play finals. North are a decent side (arguably better than their ladder position would have you believe) but they really miss the likes of Boomer Harvey, Wells and the other guys they let go. I'm not worried about Ben Brown because I don't think they'll kick it into their forward 50 enough for him to kick more than 3!

Dees by 30+

 

We'll lose this week but beat GWS next... I've finally worked this side out, my gut feeling has been right about this side most times this year

Yup not only are we a very well coached and well drilled side, but we are hungry and have stars all over the ground.

Yes thats right, the MFC now has STAR PLAYERS (and a group of budding superstars).  A bunch of them.  Finally.

We'll win both. Am much more concerned about Brisbane. They play with heart and are well coached. They might push us.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but Hogan just needs 2 goals this weekend to bring up his first 100 goals. Nice mini milestone for him.

Absolutely killed us last time with 'release-valve' contested marks between the flanks and wing. We need to address that however we can, though we've shown little sign of coming up with a solution against similar teams.

Gawn, if he plays like the first half last week, will be of big help. Pedersen would be handy, but while okay, he's not outstanding with contested marks in this area of the ground. Although here's hoping Watts' has had the butter wiped off his fingers up front.

Hogan and Frost to push up more from their respective ends, and get Hannan in there to divide the contest. We need numbers and organisation at these aerial contests, so as not to get outworked and blocked and allow them to get free jump at it.

Dees rookie Corey Maynard continues to impress. 30 disp (20 CPs) and seven clearances as BOG for Casey. An AFL call up is not far away.

Would be shocked if was called up this season, especially with Vince and Jones to come back in.  

And with finals in our sights, surely its not the time for debutantes.

me... if somethings irrelevant, it invokes apathy. hate is not the opposite of love, apathy is the opposite of love. I have apathy, loads and loads of it.

If Higgins destroys as usual I'll vomit.

Confident we'll be professional enough to get the job done against a bottom 4 team that doesn't have a lot to play for

They have changed the weather forecast for Hobart. A few days ago it was no rain and light winds.

Now it is rain and strong winds. Let's hope this does not become one of those wet weather slogs where a few lucky kicks decides the outcome. The rain is predicted for the afternoon and evening so let's hope we can get a good lead before it sets in.

Saturday 29 July
