Ha, ha. Which one? Perhaps all three!

equilibrium - a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced,

He actually forgot his underwear before the 1999 French Open, and didn't want to take up his coach's offer of wearing his, so he played without any. Because he won he decided to never wear underwear again!

I guess there was none for sale at the tournament ?  frilly knickers, non ?

That would be coaching 101 to have T Mac playing as a defender tonight.

Coaching 101 is also not to start throwing players around because the whole team is under-performing, or to start shuffling players who are down on form.

(Though with May, Lever and O'Mac out, and the next generation not ready, the rule book could be ripped up.)

I wish they would turn down the commentators mike.

Bloody hell. What a performance.

King of the bleeding obvious- Cameron Ling. "Melbourne must win tonight." Spare me.

Painful isnt it....

Interested to see if we stick to the zone defence guarding space. Never liked it because requires everyone to know exactly where to position themselves and be able to adjust on the go with awareness of what's happening around you. Don't have the confidence that all our players have the smarts or instinct for this...

So does that mean we're left with Weids and Bull up front? It won't matter how many i50s we have tonight in that case.

T Mac and Frost walked out together, warmed up together for a while, walked back in together chatting the whole way.

Backline Bros tonight?

With any sense... straight to the pub !!

Any reason why after years of linking arms around each other’s shoulder for the national anthem and Anzac ceremony we decided not to do it this year? 

Jeez that pre game ceremony even caused my bitter old eyes to shed a tear

Depends how we use it going forward, and how often we make a contest.  If we can at least break even in a marking contest and get it to ground, you would hope the additions of Garlett and Lockhart would go someway to helping us create some pressure and to keep the ball locked in there, which is what we want.

But if we bomb it to 2 or 3 on 1s, then we're in trouble.  Big trouble.

I saw that and thought instantly 'I wonder which poster will bring that up on Demonland?'.

You didn't disappoint.  Means nothing.  We did it last year and lost, so it makes no difference.

Goody didnt sound too confident.

I was thinking Lockhart goes back as the Jetta replacement. We'll know soon enough. I don't have much faith in us doing anything other than bomb it in at the moment.

Any reason that woman interviewing Hardwick was wearing a Dressing Gown? budget cuts...

I'd love to see T Mac down back tonight.  I know he has the odd brain fart moments, but he brings some experience and we know he can match it with the best.  It might help to bring back some confidence in his game as well.

Needs to find some form somewhere why not.  T Smith out of the square.

Low long raking kicks get there quicker and create more chaos.  Quick bail out kick if no early options coming inside is ok but at least go long & low so the opp can't intercept as easy and chaos when it hits the deck...

Good luck Demons! 

Chilling.. just watched the SBS report on Srl Lanka... my advice to Jonesy, Louie and Jack.. just tell the boys to enjoy it... we all love you 

What sort of crowd anyone?

Go the mighty Demons!  

Oliver starting forward?

Viney should have shepherded.
