The selectors have made four changes. 

The question is whether changes to the team makeup is what’s necessary to end the current losing streak?

How does the "If we lose to the Suns I will..." thread have more post than this thread?

A cathartic process

Looking at the ground last night it looks like an absolute cows paddock.

Fingers cross for no injuries.

I like our selected side. I reckon we will win comfortably 

I am particularly looking forward to watching Bennell and an improved VDB, now that he has a couple of games under his belt

In a joyous celebration of my returned optimism, I shall give the maid a jolly good pre game rollicking !

I am truely surprised you can summons some Bbo. 

Dees by 4 goals.

Weid to kick three, Bennell to have an impact and Clarrie will respond to the criticism with a vintage game in the middle.

It’s a balancing act od !

Dictated largely by whether I guzzle large amounts of vin ordinaire or The Manor’s budget allowing me to savour a higher quality Shiraz

It’ll be interesting to see us play against a team that attacks and doesn’t play keeping off. 
should mean we can hit the scoreboard for once. I too expect a win but the suns have been very good this year

Agree Clarry will be BOG or if not him Gawny.

Raining and predicted to last all day. Will be a slippery wet slog.

It seemed very slippery last night on the tv, so even though I like the addition of two talls I sort of lol’d to myself that this could be perceived as the game you don’t want to bring in talls (it’s almost like he’s trying to select the wrong team ? - only at Melbourne)!! Looking forward to it anyway! Go dees!

I hope you aren't allowing the maid to drink pre-match Uncle.  Particularly the ordinaire stuff!

I have a feeling the maid is not adverse to his lordship advances RN.

And then we will wonder why weid and Bennell haven’t been in the team for the last 2 weeks.

So a glutton for punishment OD like all good Demon supporters! ?

Strangely optimistic, I think something might click tonight.

Can you imagine the quality of game this will produce could well be 1 goal each at half time.

Feeling the same way. Think all the media heat and the hub will galvanise the group.

In a lot of games RN a good thrashing would be preferable to be forced to watch the game.

Got some pork fillet marinating in a Chinese BBQ brine, some home made Italian venison sausages, a couple of car from porterhouse steaks all going on the smoker and a bottle of Hently farm Shiraz* 

The final piece of the puzzle is a pineapple of the sun's paying $2.40 as an insurance policy...

Games against Gold Coast have historically been positive turning points in our season, so I'm tipping that to continue.  2 and 3 with the team playing a more confident, connected brand of footy and things won't seem anything like as bad as they do right now.
