GAMEDAY - Round 19

[Josh 1,420]

One week at a time, that's all we can do now. A win tonight and we continue to march towards finals. A loss and we will have to beat the good sides they are all saying we can't.

Adelaide have a bit of payback in mind. They'll come out hard. We just need to be in front when the final siren goes.... oh wait

[Demon Jack 6,862]

Working tonight which will require some strategically placed bathroom breaks for the occasional score check.

Salem as smokey for BOG

[DeezNuts 624]

I the wait before the game, gotta find something to do to keep the anxiety/excitement at bay... go dees!

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,222]

I have no confidence at all. Scheduled a "date" tonight instead so I don't have the disappointment of watching another ''crunch match" loss. Did the same thing last Saturday night.

Hopefully when I check the scores I am pleasantly surprised.

hogan needs to lift. for a big guy he falls to ground far too easily and stages for frees. tmac is twice the player and can kick much straighter.

dees could win but i doubt it. crows by 42

Have to be on from minute 1. Its gonna belt down late in the game.

[Deeoldfart 8,005]

Logic says that we should comfortably account for a team we beat by 91 points only two months ago, but logic and reality live worlds apart for the Melbourne Football Club and its long suffering supporters.  I still haven't read last weekend's post match thread and I don't intend to, but I desperately hope that I will be inclined to read today's.  Just get it done Dees ........... one point will do!  Surely that's not too much to ask in return for my patience and loyalty.

The poor bugger is double teamed when in the forward line however when opposition teams go forward their forwards are one on one!

Goody needs to clear our forward line right out. One on ones against Hoges, TMac and Jeffy and/or Tracs and Clarry occasionally would be a nightmare for any defence. We just have to maximise the skills that those guys have. The problem is, we don't. Most of the time our forward 50 looks like an under 10's game.

I doubt that line will have any bearing on the result DF.

i was talking to someone at the club on Monday and they said being a Dees supporter is character building.

My reply was I have all the character I can handle just bloody win.

After that it is hard to see us winning since our last meeting they have a number of there players back from injury and we have ours out.

Woke up to the Blood Red Moon over the ocean this morning.

Must be an omen for something.

In breaking news the AFL Spuds Association have given the Melbourne Football Club an award for their services to re-igniting the careers of many of their members. The Association President and previous Spud of the Year recipient Tex Walker says the award is well deserved and is looking forward to being the benefit of a similar service tonight.

Kent Kingsley is surely a life member of this association.

The Crows are aware we dont handle pressure, and (we) are starting to become desperate. They also owe us one for the hiding we gave them earlier in the season. If the game is close in the last qtr, i can see the MFC panic setting in again.

An Adelaide win keeps them in with a chance of playing finals, and almost puts us out, considering our run home.

I have no confidence that we can win tonight. 

Crows by several goals.

Vandenberg too play... ?

Gawn... Unstoppable... ?

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,772]

Any whispers as to which emergencies travelled to Adelaide?

[Cheesy D. Pun 1,762]

This game will be tough. A vastly different team to the one we played earlier in the year.

Our midfield will need to look after our defence for 120 minutes, otherwise, Walker, Lynch, Jenkins and possibly Betts will get a hold of our back line. 

Win, lose or draw, I'll continue to back em' in but this game is pretty close to being do or die.

Let's go Dees!

[Jones 62]

Sorry Demonlanders, I cannot see us winning tonight.

I don't think we will get ourselves up to play 4 quarter football to beat Adelaide at home.

Crows seem to be building with all their good players back, will have the crowd and no doubt the umpires behind them.

We will need our biggest effort all year to beat them tonight.

Crows by 14 points
