You missed the great Collingwood  Game Bitter

From where I was it was unwatchable

Thankfully I was also roughing it in the mulga at that time

All you Melbourne people need to get to the ground this Friday night and support the Dees. Lets have more people there than Sydney as last 2 home games were poorly attended by us. I can't as based in Qld but I reckon we have a big chance in this one. Been playing some ordinary footy but only just getting beaten so tidy up some basic skill errors, look for our players for a change when we win the ball (which we do often) and come home with the bacon.

Ever considered house swapping Doc?  Starting this Friday!

Indeed od!! 

We’ve never been reticent to pay/trade overs

I was hoping to watch the Test but it will probably be washed out

He also predicted the bloody wash out! 

Might be time to erase that 'Optimistic' ending and just go with Uncle Bitters!

R22 Melb v Syd, Fri 16 Aug, 7.50pm, MCG
IN: Spargo, Stretch, Neal-Bullen, Hore, Chandler
OUT: May, O.McDonald, Hunt, Baker, Petty
 

[Demonland 72,170]

A couple of mystery injuries of the week.

[Bates Mate 4,486]

The tank is real

[Lucifers Hero 39,747]

WOW!  We take out 3 players who are over 190cm and bring in 2 who are about 175cm (Spargo, Chandler).  2 other sub 178cm players (Viney, JKH) are in the side and other additions: ANB and Stretch aren't exactly tall at 180cm.  Then there is Jones who is also 180cm.

We have gone from giants to pigmys!

Expect a big loss - except Sydney is also tanking!

Edit: we are going to be physically monstered.  Sydney has two 'short' players Jack and Papley who are both 178cm but strong.  We will be like lambs to the slaughter.

got to have the players to replace them with and don't say Preuss and Keilty

[BAMF 4,350]

Hunt dropped. Cannot say it is undeserved. He has been playing like a guy who is just seeing the season out. Some disgraceful positioning and pressure efforts. I hate to say it, but he could be traded come the end of the year.

Midget side, how are we going to win with no talls?

Protect the front and centre of packs and bring the ball to the ground.

Plenty of switching of play and run, run, run! 

[spirit of norm smith 16,446]

That’s a tank. Swans by 5 goals. 

[CHF 2,736]

Maybe Chandler ha been brought in as a chop out for max at the end of each quarter. Not a hell of a lot of talls in there to move into the ruck for a bit.

Born and Breed in Melbourne's east. Was transferred for work in 90's and have no need to go back. Kids and Grand Kids now up here. So as far as house swapping it's a big no.

Won't be any interest 

[Sorry kids 635]

This side is up there with the late sixties when Tassie Johnson was our tall.

[chook fowler 19,458]

We’re screwed. 

[Guest]

Absolutely staggering selection.

Wtf is going on?

That's why we brought Spargo in, siss. By the way he plays, he obviously believes he's a KPF.

I thought Petty did a shoulder last week but what is OMac’s injury? We couldn’t go smaller if we tried, maybe Pruess was an option just to have a tall up forward.

The Crowd will be about 10,000 tomorrow night

The Club has switched off...

[Deeoldfart 8,016]

Weakest team we have fielded all year, bar none!  If we win, I'll eat my Demon beanie (or some of it anyway), and put the video on here for all to see.  Cheers!

[ArtificialWisdom 4,045]

So I assume the plan will be to kick the ball along the ground all night and take talls out of the equation
