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

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
