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. 

Astbury a chance to miss.  he has been quarentined with illness

may all 44 players contract the virus!  ?

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!

A time least the crime rate will be down tonight!

As for the game, Richmond by 47

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.

Conflicted. Want to face collingwood in the grand final, but if we lose to west coast its the two clubs I personally hate most in the final.. 

Seriously, Bwooce is a complete [censored] on nights like these!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
