This weeks game against the Pies is going to show who is upto it individually and as a team.

Cant wait too see who grabs the bull by the horns...

I am sure Nathan Jones will be one of many.

I think the boys step up and get the job done. I am quitely confident..

Jones has been top notch the last couple of weeks, he can smell finals after all these years and is leading the charge

Ox, I cried, i had a shower and kept crying, tears of joy, I remember it so well, my wife thought I was mad. She was right.

 

That was one of the first few games I watch as a Dee's supporter (i was about 10) and still remember that game and the whole finals series. From memory we had to rely on Geelong to loose as well.

From Gary's broken leg to Brian Wilson's sealer it was an emotional day. Saturday maybe similar.

Percentage booster.

whispering I think if we win and Richmond lose we can play the tigers.

I think the possibility of a Richmond loss is remote based on their current form.

I have this feeling the Pies will come out very hard in the first quarter, they don't have anything to lose and I think their pride has been dented a lot with missing finals again. 

If we match/beat them early I think we will get on top for the rest of the game. 

I just don't want it to come down to the wire.

I'll hold you to that.

They're like us on steroids. Certain wins and you can put a cross next to their name.

Im a little inclined to think as possibly you might, that as Rooeys swansong the Toiges are in for a fight.

Dees by 5 goals.  

The Pies will want to spoil the party, but we know what we're playing for and we'll want it more.  It might take us a little time to settle with plenty of nervous energy hanging around - a few scrubbed kicks, a dropped mark, a missed set shot - but we will settle in no time and keep them well at bay.

From the Viney interview on AFL Tonight he won't be playing. Didn't rule himself out but didn't express any confidence when asked if he's a chance and is still in a moonboot today

Not sure if I'd be able to wait for the Sunday evening result if we happen to lose on Saturday. That's a really nerve-wrecking wait! 

How many season defining games is this in a row? 4? 5?

The Pies will have a decent team on paper and wont be easy (they nearly beat Geelong last week) and their seniors will only have De Goey, Greenwood, Scott Pendlebury, Ben Sinclair and Wells N/A.

But if we stick it to them early and dont switch off we should be too good in the end.

We've been in pretty good form ourselves. I expect us to win this game. 

Watch Nathan jones play the best game of his life. 

This is a game I reckon petracca might step up for as well

It's decent, but without Pendles, De Goey and Greenwood they lose some midfield depth.  Wells out hurts in that area, as does Varcoe.  What it should mean is that our mids can get on top and dictate the pace of the game.  

Our backline has been terrific this year as well and the Pies don't score with ease, so if you turn up and play good footy we will have them covered.

What I'd like to see:

-bring in Pencil to free up Max to mark on the wing also allows TMAC to float between back/fwd with Hogan/Pedo in support

-bring in Salem to kick out and frees up Vince to tag Treloar

-drop Stretch and maybe Garlett

Aside from the disbelief I have after reading that suggestion Pencil is out injured

Bolded ones are no chance.  Bring Spencer in?  We don't want to go backwards.

It's a worry!

Adelaide have cemented a top two finish playing away against a desperate Weagles who just have to win.

Dees come up against a Collingwood side who have been decent without finishing the job. Have they one last push? Melb have lost a bit of their x factor with Garlett, Gawn, Petracca and others down. Salem, Frost and Watts being dropped and Viney hobbling on crutches.

Can we do it? Sure! Will we do it? Mmnn!

Adelaide are smart enough, unlike Ross Joyner of a couple of years back, to flirt with form.

Nobody wants to lose on the eve of finals.

That Freo team wasn't very good though - 10 wins and a % of 92, they lost their last 3 as well - wouldn't have done much even if they had made finals!

Just imagine how awful (and boring) that lot would have been under their current coach.

If you rank games on paper from hardest to easiest using say 1-4 last week against the Lions was a category 4 game. I rate the Pies as a category 3 game so it should be very winnable.

Why am I not overly confident... could it be because we just scraped home against the 18th team who also happened to be an interstate team that had not won at the MCG for quite a while.

Pies could go for a shoot out ... why not.... have little idea how we would fare if this happened but if Hogan kicks straight it could be interesting.

You're kidding.

if I could pick 2 outs it would be Pendles and Wells.

They're their maitch winners.

DeGoey is their rising star.

They'll miss Fasolo too.

We'll miss 4 too !

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
