I know re $$ but we need wins. We play the interstate teams there because they're the teams we would get the lowest attendances to for home games in Melbourne. You wouldn't play a Melbourne team there, when we would normally get at least 35,000 to that home game. 1

ding 5,126 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Expect to see a lot of McGovern on tv today. My money is on him to break the record for intercept marks. His game is absolutely MADE for playing a team like us. We need a miracle. 1 2
beelzebub 23,392 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Too much for something that approaches football.....and doesn't resemble manic dodgems ? I do sense however the Eagles will control the ball, control the tempo and therefore the game. We might fly out of the gate with delusional exuberance to the chorus of euphoric rapture but it never lasts long. I'd be content today if we can just exhibit some intelligence with the ball......again....too much ?
In Harmes Way 7,871 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 I’m looking forward to the commentary on how Gilbert MacAdams Aunty or uncle kicked a goal in a local league game from beyond the tree in the outer wing which is about a 85m roost. #dreamtime 1
CityDee 738 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 We should have either Pruess or Gawn stationed deep forward to bring it to ground all day . Our bigs and mids will do well . Hopefully we can manufacture enough goals . May will curb kennedy somthing we never have . we are a chance .

At the break of Gawn 4,515 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 40pt loss I think today. JK to break his form slump and kick 5.
Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Earlier in the season when hope still sprung eternal the Gameday Thread was always bullish and full of humour ( not all of it funny I'll admit) but now, like all else Demonish, there's a surfeit of apathy and despair. It now fails to lift the spirits of even a sad old flagellator such as myself . Arrrh!!! …. The MFC has a lot to answer for. 1 1
forever demons 2,370 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 After watching the mfc for many decades looking forward to every game with hope and anticapation,I find now there is little to enthuse aboutanymore just another game of despair and disappointment.Think i will give one of the ex wives a call just to top my day off 1 3

DubDee 26,708 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Am expecting an 80 pt drubbing so hopefully we at least crack in and provide some interest for us die hards
Dees_In_October 3,515 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 So far a successful trip for the Dees to Alice, with the Casey VFLW team having a 65-point win over NT Thunder yesterday. Their biggest win of the season so far and well-deserved by the sounds of it. Fingers crossed for an unlikely double! 3
Bring-Back-Powell 15,559 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Anyone worried we’ll run out of gas in the second half due to the oppressive 21 degree heat? 1 4 1
dazzledavey36 56,358 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Shannon Hurn a late out. Said last night that i feel like it will be a close game then most people think.
forever demons 2,370 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 scotch just kicked in go dees you good things 1

Diamond_Jim 12,778 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Remember in recent seasons when we used to discuss which Melbourne team would turn up. Hard to fathom that by comparison those were the good times. 1
dees189227 12,526 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 I have no idea what to expect. But I fear Hurn and McGovern are just going to mark everything that comes down our forward line as we didn't have much depth or experience down there. Hopefully Rawlings has come up with a good game plan. But having been to the ground it has the most beautiful background with the ranges there. Just have a go today melbourne
Lord Travis 10,819 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Hurn late out. Debutant Franky Watson in. Quick rebounding indigenous half back. Eagles with 6 indigenous players out there today.
Bring-Back-Powell 15,559 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Josh Kennedy aside, Hurn would be the first id love as a late out. Edited July 21, 2019 by Bring-Back-Powell
praha 11,267 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 We are into $2.40 now for the win. Vs a flag fancy. Either punters know something we don't, or there is still an element of trust and belief in this team from punters.

We cannot make Finals, so we are a big chance to “turn up” today... The first 10 minutes will tell a story
