Mess up Pies top 4 chances? Screw that! If we win today they could miss the top 8! Now that would be funny. Port have 3 winnable games. Pies last two are tricky. 

From first place to 9th would be so sweet. Probably unlikely but let’s try!!

 

Still have a sneaky feeling we'll win today. 

Just jumped on the AFL app to have a read of the game preview. 

‘17th Vs 6th’ – What a sick joke Melbourne. 

I’m addicted so I’ll still tune in but what a horrible horrible year.

I don’t see how we turn this around for next year unless we start showing good signs in these last few games this year, recruit and draft smartly and get some luck with injuries over summer. Easier said than done.

Well the Pies are at their weakest all year. We have a few out like Tom, Weid, AVB, Hannan, Smith, Jetta but DeGoey, Cox, Beams,Wells, Aish, Moore, Stevenson, Reid, Dunn, Langdon, Sier etc is a big group missing.

A win today and a Tigers win over Carlton will obliterate any remaining Collingwood top 4 chances. I'd love to see that smug club bundled out first week.

Nice calculation.

We are faarrkked on the scoreboard, I'd reckon, but we can still play nasty against the Filth.

They kicked their highest score for the year or close to it last week, albiet against GC, so wont be no stroll in the park i guess. But we have a good defense and its a damp track, it wont be high scoring. What a great chance to stop them getting top 4 spot!

Payback time for when they stopped us getting into the 8...

The thing is if we lose people will say we can't even win against a 2nd rate pies side if we win people will say we beat a 2nd rate  pies side. 

The pies still have good players in, pendles, sidebottom and the ruck battle between grundy and gawn will be interesting.

Yep so sad. 

I wanted to go but this weather is horrid and I don’t want to sit in freezing temperatures and risk getting sick before I head off overseas. 

Honestly it doesn’t seem worth it and I feel guilty because I know how much these games mean to the club financially. But we have done nothing as a club this season to deserve blind support from our fans. 

Cold weather doesn’t make you sick, it’s catching the virus ie like catching MFCSS it’s usually caught by a “loved one”, maybe a parent. But they don’t really love you by passing MFCSS onto you. My dad gave it to me, I’ve given it to my soon to be 4 yr old (he asked for the Go Dees song to be played this morning and we had a great dance around the lounge) and now I’m trying to pass it on to Mr 1...

No late changes.  Anyone else think we are going in way too tall for the putrid conditions?

Get them to watch Hawks game from last night! A club that finds away to reinvent itself & find players who can follow the game plan. A club that doesn’t sit on past glories & could be  excused so as they won 3 flags in a row less than 5 years ago.

Gaaaahhhh no late changes, can’t wait to see OMac dominate down back today.

I'm stuck in an edit suite today locking picture on my current film, with my Collingwood-supporting editor. 

We're both sitting here with our scarves on and will be there in spirit.

This is the first game in Melbourne that I've missed since 2007, so let's see how I go today. We might find ourselves turning on the TV in the background.

Today should be revenge for Round 23 2017. Come on, redlegs.


Goodwin just confirmed Oscar McDonald is playing forward. 

Now let me eat my words Oscar!

Great. I wish him well

That can be the only justification for playing him above Hore. Let’s hope Oscar has taken some nodoze today because more often than not he is fast asleep

Can now sell him to Gold Coast as a swingman.

He might just kick a bag because I doubt they'll pay him too much attention.

Seems like a last ditch attempt to pick up some trade value to me.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
