Nah because if we lost to collingbog in the Gf, I could never live that down.

    I was thinking that if we beat the Eagles, then either the QB game or the Anzac Eve game is the GF replay next year ... should be bigger than ever!

    I think Richmond will win, and purely from a selfish perspective, that's the way I'd prefer it to go.  My rationale:

    • I 'dees-pies' Collingwood so much that the thought of them playing off in a Grand Final makes me want to puke;  and
    • if we happened to play Collingwood in the Grand Final, Grundy has the capacity to reduce the influence of our major trump card in big Max, making a win more difficult for us.

    It hurts me to say it, but I want a Richmond win tomorrow night.  Maybe by a big margin, so they drink a tub full of their own bathwater before facing a rampant Dees outfit. 

    Me too.

    Richmond have not faced anything like us this season (or last season), playing the way we are playing now.

    We've seen all the other teams trying various tactics to beat them, whereas we would be right up in their face, attacking their strength and playing them at their own game. Fire vs Fire stuff. I'd be fascinating to see who comes out on top.

    I also salivate at the prospect of Viney/Harmes vs Martin.

    First however, West Coast...

    I would be very surprised if Collingwood were to win against Richmond on their showing against GWS. The intensity of their game last week was a few notches below that of the night before and they will need to lift to match it with Richmond.

    Agree. I was at the Pies/GWS game last week and IMHO I thought we would have definitely beaten the Pies had we been playing them.

    Got this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach that the filth might cause a massive upset here... 

    I’d love to play the pies in a grand final. How good would it be watching Eddie sob as chunk and goody lift the cup

    Think the Richmond forwards will just be a bit much for the Pies backline in the end. I do think it will be a tough contest though.

    Just don’t think Pies are capable of scoring enough to challenge the Tigers

    Tigers are a high scoring club, as are we

    Should be a cracking game

    They seemed to score quite freely against us on Queens Birthday...

    going to be a rugby scrum of a game.  if pies keep the intensity up all game, 60 points could win it.

    Really looking forward to tonights game. 

    I hope they hit each other real hard and force this game into a triple OT.

    Frost didn't play that day. Any game Melbourne played at the G this year without frost  is irrelevant.

    No doubt that Mason Cox holds the key in the sense that the Pies just seem to lack goal kickers.

    Was going to run a thread as to who was the better VFA pick up between Brody Mihocek and Bayley Fritsch but the air went out of that balloon.

    The MCG should be renamed Boganville for tonight.

    HEY! I'll be there bringing at least a modicum of taste to the MCC (and relieving a Filth or Tuggers fan of a seat).

    Tomorrow, Perth. Sunday, VFL...

    To be honest if we win tmrw I don't care who we play in a grand final. I just hate the filth so I hope the tigers bog all over em.

    Can't bear the thought of C'wood in the GF. No, they must not get there. Even for the chance of beating them.

     

    C'wood and Tiges to belt the living sh*t out of each other and the least worst team to limp into a GF thrashing at the hands of the MIGHTY DEMONS

  • Quote

    All this revolves around the big “if” at 3.20 tomorrow. If the dream continues tomorrow, I simply don’t care who we play - payback to either - ANZAC Eve or Queens B’Day - take your pick!

    The channel seven pre-game reminds me how much I love the mute button on the remote control!

    I’m going for the Pies. I think we would have a better chance of knocking them off next week than the Tigers should we progress beyond tomorrow.

    I also have an intense dislike for Rance and his sooky behaviour.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
