Today is all about TRUST

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 ?

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.

What's the latest weather report Ox?

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

Well someone has to balance the "all is lost" and "it's in the bag" posts.

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.

Off to the game. 

Haven’t seen Melb v Collywobbles play live for a very long time. 

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

Would be nice to see a WIN live  

Go Dees.

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

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.

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

What Q will he go down?

...or, will he start?

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.

Hope they put up a great fight and come away with a win. 1 point will suffice.

Enjoy Ox

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
