And yet we were only 2 goals down early in the last 

Not saying we will win by 10 goals tonight, but the wrist slashing and hyperbole on Land of late is both ridiculous and hilarious at the same time. Some posters need a big injection of positivity up their clacker. Life is too short to expect the worst every time.

 

Tigers by 90 points.

 

Luv it Mr. Shadow

$$$$$$ probably

Well that hasn't even been close to being an issue with the crowds we have attracted over the last few seasons.

No doubt tonight will be a little bit down on previous years, but it's not as if only 40,000 are turning up.  I'd say we will still get around 70,000.

I reckon I'll check the VLine App to see what time the next train leaves about 5 minutes into the 3rd.

I never thought I'd have to go back to the bad days where I would go to the footy and it's a good day if we lose under 10 goals. But tonight I go to this game knowing we won't win. Last year we got beaten by 46 points in the same game.

Anyway the good thing is get the game over tonight the weekend is free and by then everyone would have moved on. 

But I am interested to see if Goody does anything different tonight. also would love to see some players get back into form who have been down.

Surely McDonald plays on Lynch?

thank god number 9 is out 

thank god the Wagners are out

 great pity Nev is out

to avoid an epic flogging we’re going to need everything to go right

tigers by 86

[Redleg 40,836]

I spoke somewhere about being surprised at our selections .

Smith in instead of Keilty  surprises me again.

Not a place for a fist gamer tonight. Might ruin his career b4 he even starts. Love to see him get a decent go this year tho.

Would need  a miracle to win tonight.    I give us  a 2% chance.

Might be our best win ever if we can pull it off.  Cant believe the Tigers are paying 1.40 in the betting.   Easiest money anyone will ever make.

[beelzebub 23,313]

My most fervent wish.....that we simply don't embarrass ourselves.....any further.

Too much ??

It will be a blood bath. 

Probably not the right game for terms like "blood bath" mate

Me too WJ, and a similar result in a sporting sense will unfold tonight.

Old Dee, you were responding to WJ's Gallipoli remembrance. Any chance the "similar result" you are expecting was meant from the perspective of the Axis powers?

it's quite relaxing going into a game with zero expectations. 

It's one of the advantages of being a Dees supporter for over 50 years. I don't get anywhere near as stressed about football matches as every non-Melbourne supporter I know (other than St Kilda supporters who are equally sanguine).

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Have we ever lost a game on a Wednesday?

I was expecting a similar result to the Anzacs brave but in the end beaten badly.

Think the dees might surprise us all tonight... not saying that means our season will turn around (though I hope it does), but I am more confident about tonight than I was about St Kilda. This is the type of game the Melbourne of old would win. 

[ProperDee 1,698]

I think that I might take a sick day from being a MFC fan for tonight. I am down with a bad case of Demon apathy and there is a significant possibility I will become worse watching the game.

[DeeZee 7,363]

Richmond with no Cotchin or Rance and Harmes on Dusty.

We have to be very hard at it for four quarters as the tigers do not stop .

I think the players are hurting and will give it everything tonight.

Can we connect with our forwards and can we defend well enough?

Time will tell, but I’m hoping like hell.

You just need some Vitamin AnB and to do your stretch exercises. Not sure what you should do with Marty Hore, though.

I know right. Puts bank term deposit interest rates to shame.

Should really be Richmond $1.10.

Any chance Richmond might be a bit knackered from Saturday night and won' have the energy to go on a 16 goal second half avalanche?If that's the case we must stay close with them at half time if we're any chance of a respectable result.

Yes I know we alos played on Saturday, but we only ran one way so should have plenty in the tank...

Much of a muchness.

Some of Demonlands posters are quite funny,   I have had a laugh   feel better already and the game has not started    but I think I will turn the telly off at 3/4 time,    as well    GO DEES !!!
