GAMEDAY - Round 21

[dees189227 12,373]

hoping for the double today. Dees get up and the storm win across the rd. 

I have no idea what to expect today.  Hope we get off to a good start.  

The  players have spoken about embracing this pressure so i hope they bring it  today

[Wiseblood 24,637]

No late changes for either side. 

Funny how some were squawking about insider knowledge that Gawn was out, yet here we are. The Iron Man lives on and is ready to feast on Callum Sinclair.

For the second week in a row the Australia channel in Asia has dudded me and no MFC on television today.

They are taking that other big match between Freo and Carlton !!!

Goody hasn't been wrong this year with his playing predictions.

When I saw Picket had the inside word that there may be a late change I knew we were all good to go.

That sucks. I got sick of it and brought the subscription. Couldnt stand the adverts either. 

[John Demonic 5,749]

Geez just looking at the lineups, we really need a good game from our half forwards in Pedo/VDB. Rampe and McVeigh are smart and dangerous rebounding players. We look exploitable in that area.

A couple of beers at the Sporting Globe have calmed the nerves somewhat. But I don't think anything can truly prepare you for what is ahead. Come on Dees, take the step!

I come and go from Asia and have a local cable subscription over here. May have to succumb next year. and pay for a watchafl account as well. Would be good if they could up the quality of the transmission of the AFL on the Australia Channel as well.

The EPL etc is crystal clear but the AFL is far from that.

Do you happen to know what the quality of the watchafl product is like on a 70 inch screen

Yes i watched an EPL Game in HD whilst in Pattaya last week on a Big Screen and the quality was absolutely staggering. Shades on the grass, pure detail everywhere. 

Australia has a long way to go with transmission. Both content and quality 

[JTR 2,846]

Just seen the umpire appointments. FML!

[whatwhat say what 22,702]

had surgery during the week, a wedding this morning and a reception this evening...first game i'm missing in melbourne since the north game when the middle kid chose that day to get a lymph node infection and spend the day in hospital

i'mma be watching from the couch...and i HATE watching us on tv

[Bitter but optimistic 22,220]

Just arrived. Lots of Sheilas today

looks like they’re labor voters

[Lucifers Hero 39,606]

Glad that even tho AVB wasn't seen at training yesterday he is playing.  We need him bullocking his way around the forward line - help keep the likes of McVeigh honest.

Also, rapt that Hunt is back.  Can't wait to see him do his 'road-runner' routine out of the backline.  Now that Bernie is out for the season the defence role is Hunt's to own.

I feel a bit sick about this. One of the biggest games of recent years, coming into it.

I’ve moved home from Asia a year or so ago and not sure of the product now. I mainly used it on my pc or iPad, so not too sure. The  quality was great on a smaller screen, so it should be okay on 70”.

... and at least 1/3 of what goes on out there is in the hands of Nicholls 

[SPC 3,534]

Not confident at all. Can see us getting plenty of inside 50’s and being either inefficient with entries or kicking badly. 

Swans by 16 is my gut feeling.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Tracy missed two shots from about 15-20 out 45 angle...

put both across the front and out of bounds. Will be super accurate today, I can feel it!
