Forget Gawn , Oliver , Hogan, and Oscar. Our most important player today is Frost.. if he holds Franklin to less than 3, we win

Only if he tasked that ;)

Goody will have to redefine his defensive strategy to gorilla mind ...ie man a man. Can't allow buddy ANY space ;)

 

Completely relaxed.

Sydney are rubbish.  If we can't beat them and beat them comfortably then we don't deserve to play finals.

Naturally, I'll take a one point win, but I expect a 30+ point victory.

    Well today’s the day. Biggest moment since Rd 23 last year. You can either take the opportunity presented to you or spend a long time wondering what could have been. Are our boys up for the challenge? Are they ready to announce themselves as a bonafide finals contender? Only time can tell.

    Starts in the middle today. Not the Buddy matchup, not the forward pressure although these things are important. We HAVE to win contested ball and go hard from the get go. 

    As for pre game pubs I’ll be at the Sporting Globe today getting in on some Buffalo wings and beer!

    Speaking to a fellow Dee over a Parma last night ( a Parma for a farmer of course and I highly recommend others support our land folk also.. find a venue donating in this cause ) 

    ....that I can't see it being that close. 5-6 goals either way. Who ever cracks...will split open.

    Forget Gawn Oliver.

    Stunning three word analysis.

    I'll be sanding my back deck this morning.  You could come over and do that for me if you want to pass some time.

    Hopefully it becomes an analogy for this afternoon - 'grinding the Swanies into the ground!'

    Tip: be carefull when sanding not to remove any of the protective coatings on the screws or nails or your gonna get rust.

    I share your sentiments.

    I also feel strangely confident that Frost will contain Franklin.

    Excited about this one however stuck in hospital awaiting  MRI results to see if back surgery is required. Might be out for this game if I am I'll be having demon dreams of tommy mac and jessie combing for 14 goals and us winning by 67 points 

    Great news...no surgery, well at least not for today. Means to get to see our boys get up!! 

    Super excited to see hunt back, if he gets up and going he will make is a much better side.

    It's not the containing im worried about, it's the run out of defence and turnover that ends up coming straight back over his head! ?

    Odds are now $1.36. Punters think we will get it done.

    $1.34 on Sportsbet now, still $1.40 on TAB.

    If we keep coming in like this, it means either that Gawn is a definite starter, or that one of the Swans better players is in doubt, potentially a combination of the two.

    Maybe tomorrow’s headline could be another thread ?

    Tomorrows headline will be . Melbourne win but still have not beaten team in the eight. Media cannot help themselves.

    I think I am out. I don’t want the tv on, all mobile devices to aeroplane mode, radio off. Will record game and hope to god we win. 

    Also may not be able to help myself. 12 Long Years. The world has seen a black president. The rise and fall of IS, britex, gay marriage, China’s rise to economic powerhouse: the list goes on. I even think John Farnham did a last ever tour!

    Maybe just maybe, it will conclude today with

    Dees fire up and sizzle the Swans, finals bound!

    This - 1000 times this.

    I can't go (Mrs Frankie's father has his 87th birthday...), and I don't know if I'll be brave enough to sneak a peek at the scores.

    My MFCSS is firmly in-charge - I worry that this will be St. Kilda Mark II. Beaten in the mid-field, then sliced  open. 23 points down and half time, and never really  in it. That's what happens to you when you saw the last flag this team won, and have been belted up ever since.

    Go Dees - make me a believer.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
