    If Goodwin cannot get the side up for this one, he never will

    I want to see 4 quarters of serious effort and nothing less

    The Club expect to make Finals THIS YEAR. 

    How serious are they...?

    Was that a rhetorical question ?

    I thought Jones was OK against North.  Used it well and a couple of goal assists.

    Do you have these sorts of posts queued up ready to go every week, mate? ? I really admire how you change it up.

    Agree, this is probably the match that tells the SG / FD & present list tale SW.

    We have a somewhat out of form Pies outfit coming off a 4 day break.  A few very solid ins, obviously Pendles the main one.  We are coming in with a physical advantage off a 6 say break.  Big Maxy a blow but we have Pruess who was recruited for exactly this scenario.  No excuses imv.

    Blind Freddy knows who we need to cover here in Pendles and Sidey.  Both lock down roles imv, at least in the first half.   Viney to Pendles and Harmes to Sidey with assists from Sparrow and AVB.  Not sure either have the mileage ability or agility required but would rather these match ups which sets Clarry, Gus and Tracc free to worry / tire the Pies mids going the other way.  Viney resting HF when not benched.

    Season / finals chances pretty much on the line.  Can we bring a switched on fired up group of 22 who really want this one from the first bounce and leave it all on the park win / lose or draw?

    We will know in about 5 hours whether SG and this list are on track or the one step forward two back scenario we have seen far too often under SG's tenure till now.

    Today is very much about progression and the stepping up of...

    The MFC list, the FD, it's culture / brand and the coach.

    Fingers crossed.

    Viney playing a tagging role will definitely help him to reduce the see ball, get ball at stoppages and will bring team mates into the game I reckon. Good post.

    I hope this can stay between me and the few thousand people who post on here. 

    Thanks to [censored] coronavirus I've started dating a new girl who is legacy Collingwood due to an ex. 

    I've nearly flipped her. My last three partners were in the didn't-give-a-[censored] category due to foreign origins. 

    I feel that this match is both crucial for our season and my short-term future sexual happiness. 

    Like if she displayed a Wobbles' scarf on Tinder I would never have swiped right. I feel cheated. 

    Anyway, amusingly, she's missing a couple teeth. She also has a PhD. She's aware of the contradiction. 

    Go Dees.

    radar shows there has been quite a bit of rain in southern qld.

    wind has now changed to westerly which luckily is pushing most rain w to e just north of brisbane

    one small band left which should pass brissy in next 30-40 mins with just the tail of it giving maybe a light shower

    after that should be fine and ground should dry quick with temps still in low 20's, wind light

    Overcast with slight drizzle here and there. Gabba has really good drainage so I would expect the ground to be in mint condition. 
     

    I think the rain may hold off during the game.

    Hope we play a lot better than we did against Port.

    I reckon they're taking a risk with this one...

    What Q will he go down?

    ...or, will he start?

    Ditto Polly.  Nothing near his heady days but pretty serviceable.  No doubt being asked to play a very different role on the outside now.  Very little contested, just get into the right spots between the arcs and execute coming inside 50 and looking for opportunities inside on the 45 where possible.

    Taking much of the contested stuff out may help him with recovery, keep him a little fresher / sharper and (might) see him deliver a little more accurately by foot.

    If i've learned anything with the Pies over many decades rjay they will not usually put a player on the park (H&A... not necessarily finals where the stakes are higher) unless he's very much ready to roll.

    I would expect him to play and be somewhere near his best.  Take him lightly and he'll put us to the sword as he so often does against most teams.

    And if he is a smidgen under done?  Even more reason to make sure he is pushed to his physical limits with a hard lock early, at least for the first half anyway.

    Fair comment Nails. Pendles is a proven top gun. You underestimate at your risk.

    I will tip that at some stage of the game the frees will be 10-5 against, or worse and that Pies have at least 2 goals from soft frees.

    we usually win if we kick straight and the other team doesn't if that is of any help

    Got too drunk during the day and missed the Gold Coast game. Still adjusting to Australia time. On the border-line now. Need some suggestions how I can fill up one hour of my life until kick-off. Go:

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
