Same, and I totally agree!

The team has been building to this moment, and I think the message will be sent from the very first second. The cats won't know what hit them, but they'll have plenty of time to think about it on the plane home!

Is that what PT call the trains to Geebung. Hopefully the passengers wish it was a plane to get home even quicker after Melbourne give then a good beating.

I've had such an insane work week I haven't stopped to really think about the game... until the last few hours. And now it's hitting me and I'm nervous as hell! 

I agree with Murphy, I think this game will be a smashing one way or another. I hope it is us smashing them! 

I'm feeling quite comfortable about the result. These guys are on a mission for payback for earlier this season. My win/loss feelings have been quite accurate this year. Enjoy the night with the majority of the crowd supporting the dees.

Love to wipe the smirk of that [censored] Chris Scott’s face.

A close friend is related to him and I have had to shut my mouth with her this week. Win tomorrow and I'm sure I will forget myself. She's cool - I hope.

" Blow them away"  was Bob's final summary of what the MFC will do tomorrow night  and Whately reluctingly agreed that the game would be over well before the final siren.

Just realized Razor Ray is umpiring, hope the boys keep their discipline with this clown umpiring.

 

Another soft ride for Angus coming up?

What I'm looking forward to is ... who is our new finals hero? Or heroes. Who will rise to the occasion? Who will make a name for themselves as a "finals performer"? Tracc? J Smith? Nev? Jones? Hoping for a bit of a smokey.

Harmes and my favourite Trac.

I'm sure Razor Ray will look after his new "bestie" Angus Brayshaw.

Thanks but it seems strange - normally I get a text or it is on Twitter.

[JTR 2,683]

I got the team update in a notification from MFC app

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Smart and sensible changes. 

It's a strong side and one that can put the Cats to sleep for 2018 if we choose to. 

Can't wait for tomorrow night! 

[shorty 233]

Minus Hogan , strongest team this year, let's bash the ol handbaggers up. Lewis don't get reported.

On the plane tomorrow can't wait. Go Dees

[brendan 3,421]

Good changes, but geez you gotta feel for JKH He hasn’t done a lot wrong, hope he keeps his chin up and supports the boys and hopefully he gets another chance or a flag with Casey 

[damon the demon 57]

was demonland even around 12 years ago?

[Little Goffy 12,853]

Are the AFL just keeping it a surprise, or do the umpires have to book through Ticketek?

Agree. Yeah, I haven't been a fan generally, but he's done a couple of nice things here and there, but the reality is that Hannan is more likely to hit the scoreboard. JKH has some work to do, but can have a solid crack at it in 2019, especially with a few more games this year.

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,416]

Really disappointed for JKH

But a solid team at the pointy end of the season

Absolutely. There's a lot of hype right now (probably a scary amount), but the reality is that the stage is set. We've got everything we need. The boys believe. We believe.

This feels right!!!

I agree GYM, but I reckon that's our best available team. Yeah, it's a very tough call on JKH, but that's what happens when you have a list that runs deeper than what we have become used to at Melbourne.  On a positive note for Jay, I reckon he has earned himself a new contract beyond 2018, where that seemed unlikely a couple of months ago.  Good on him!
