Just win the damn game.   Anyway you can, just do it for the love of god, please.

There's been loads of advice all week about what the Dees should, and should not do to win these games, but I reckon Whispering Jack hit the nail on the head in his post above, where he said it's got a great deal to do with "self-belief and ability to win against the odds".  We unquestionably have the team, the talent and the game to win if we bring that mind-set today.  The stakes are high.  Now is the time to prove it!  I think we will.

Cant see it happening, this is no flat track.

[jane02 3,676]

I’m trying to be optimistic here. I am hoping we find that fight that I know is there somewhere and the leaders on the field do their job for a change.

Dees by 14 points.

Go Dees

[P-man 13,366]

I honestly don’t know which way this one will go. It would be typical Melbourne to roll over and leave it all down to the final round, but I can’t shake the feeling we just might get the job done today.

Hope can drive a man insane? Indeed it can, Morgan.

[SFebes 4,860]

Imagine if we didn’t hardly lay a tackle in the first 15mins.....

[rolling fog 1,207]

The suspense is killing me...

Been timing my entire weekend around 3.20 this afternoon

[armstrong35 262]

I know it’s only football but god I’m nervous! I just don’t even know what to expect from our boys anymore. 

Abyone heading to sporting glove and is the top bit under cover? I can’t remember. 

[ding 5,126]

Just cant see it happening. The only thing we have to go by is our formline...

We havent beaten a single (current) top 8 side all year. The media have been giving us a hiding about that fact for 2 weeks, but MFC are not the kind of team to get angry and play that way. We are too busy "Making connections", and "showing care" ffs i hate that wanky corporate garbage.........

If ever a club needed its Line-In-The-Sand game, its MFC, today. Sadly, while other teams draws lines, we make sandcastles.

Eagles by plenty.

We will still play finals*

[Jaded No More 67,641]

I just can’t see us winning this. I hope I’m  wrong but I’m going in with minimal expectations to avoid disappointment.  

[SFebes 4,860]

They have their 3 best players out, we should win.

[forever demons 2,206]

glad its not at the g today this weather is disgusting

[dees189227 12,062]

Would love a repeat of last yearbut not that close. Have to start well and not miss our shots.

Maxy hopefully dominates the ruck and gives our midfield first use

 

[sue 9,006]

How desperate will WCE be? If they win they lock in #2 on ladder. If they lose they are very unlikely to not be #2 anyway.   I expect they will be keen to lock it in and rest players against Brisbane.

Definitely 3 of their top 5.   I'd have Yeo and McGovern up there in their top 5.

But we have Viney, Lever and Hogan out so its basically even.

[dl4e 5,846]

I thaught our win against Adelaide was extremley good. Lets see if we can repeat the dose over in Perth. Midfield must win. I am nervous.

[D4Life 2,405]

Last year it was Viney & TMac who dragged us over the line!

TMac is playing, who wants to step up and do what Viney did last year. It’s an opportunity for one of our young guns to make a mark!

We only want the following:

- Win, any margin is enough!

- Kick straight!

- Everyone run both ways!

- Defenders remember where your meant to play (in the backline!)!

- Someone guard the goalsquare 

- Lower eyes going into forward line!

- Kick straight, Kick straight, kick straight!!!!!   

- Go Demons...........

Coll, GWS etc are ruined by injuries yet they keep winning mostly, I hate injuries for an excuse when other clubs find a way.

By the way, whats your joke of the day Trac, I need a laugh.

[SPC 3,477]

West Coast by 24 points, Dees gallant in defeat with Goodwin talking along about the narrative in the press conference. While the football world hopes we just miss out again after a loss next week. 

[Gorgoroth 12,702]

If we are in the game at half time I’ll be surprised, I expect to be 6 goals down at the half and roll belly up for the second half.

No jokes today, MS.    Its serious business.

Just think,  in  7 hours from now we could be booked into the finals.. and with a game spare.  Just 7 hours away from hopefully something special happening.  The monkey off our back, finally.

And we will have beaten the 2nd placed team on their home turf.   No more of this "Who have they beaten" crap.

Lets do this.    ?

Shitty day to wear a scarf over here.

25 degrees.

[DeezNuts 624]

Just hope that between Kent, Melk and Brayshaw that our inside 50’s entries improve markedly today, and that without Hogan clogging up the fwd line, Tmac and Weed get a good run at it for a bag of 4 each!
