GAMEDAY (the ultimate): Rd 23 vs North Melbourne

[Whispering_Jack 30,102]

Here we are - playing in the southernmost state capital in the nation. It’s going to be very cold there as hell freezes over.

Go Dees!

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,820]

I miss the days prior to 1996 when games like this one weren’t televised and you’d get the 90 seconds highlights package on channel 7’s Sports World the next day.

We’d be spared the embarrassment of national TV exposure.

The good news is if we continue like this we’ll be back to those Halcyon Days

I am looking forward to the country football-esque score of the larger regional town, vs the township that we used to get on the ABC Country Football League Wrap Up on Saturday evenings.

And, in the Western District Football League

Heywood:  37.16

Bessiebelle: 0.3

and the Dee's are Bessiebelle

[DemonOX 8,791]

Geez I will miss the lack of effort, skills and consistency from the team.

Thank the good lord the season is over. 

Now to the good stuff ( trading speculation)

I wouldn’t be too sure of that. I tuned into last night’s game expecting Collingwood to kick a cricket score against Essendon and they struggled to shake them off until after three quarter time.

On second thoughts, it was a cricket score being close to what the Poms managed in their first innings.

Everything in moderation - it was lovely in 2018 not having trade speculation as the most exciting part of the year... but we are back to what we know and love best

[jnrmac 20,061]

We all hope the Dees win but for a team that is broken, with no leadership, no coaching clues and no pride playing the last game of the year in sub zero conditions you would have to say the Kangas by 85 with Brown kicking 14

[buck_nekkid 5,858]

Game day or shame day?  

Will watch on the afl app.

[beelzebub 23,370]

At the conclusion of today's game I would ask we all observe a minutes silence. In respect of the death of another Melbourne Season

[Mickey 4,684]

MFC building this as a "Chance to say thanks to Lewy"... just like our chance to say thanks to Roosey, expecting a 100 point flogging

Thanks Andy....made me laugh

[Ethan Tremblay 30,858]

Is that the Doomsday clock? 

Ben Brown could quite possibly beat Fannings record today.

Exactly.

We showed a complete lack of appreciation for Roos in his farewell game. Can’t see us giving a continental in Lewis’s farewell - particularly after he gave the players a deserved parting shot.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,820]

Shows where we are at a club right now when everyone’s expecting an 80 + point flogging against a mediocre team that finishes 10th - 13th every year.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,239]

I have no enthusiasm  for  game.

I will watch it until it becomes obvious either we will get a jolly good flogging or Ronald McDonald head just pisses me off.

[Deesprate 1,324]

At the risk of sounding in anyway positive the team on paper doesn’t look to bad. Clearly CHF is an issue but Preuss at full forward structurally look so much better. If he can just compete the like of Melksham; Fritsch; Petracca could kick a winning score. Just why we haven’t used Preuss in this role with the absence of key forwards defies any comprehension. He showed against the Swans early in the season a rare win the impact he can have. I do try to be positive but then I see Wagner and JKH and tell myself to get a grip on reality.

Because he lasted about 1 quarter, he drops marks and is not agile.  Hopefully the off season can start to change this.

Haha, you might be on the money bb but I'm hoping to last for a few stubbies at least.

So 7 minutes, then.

Don't want to restrict myself buck but, one thing's for sure, I reckon it will be fairly early when I switch to shiraz.

Wonder if I will be able to change stations from Sydney and saints.
