Was lying in bed cursing this faruking lockdown and trying to remember A: what day it is and B: what appointment I had after 4pm today. After checking my reminders and a bit of light surfing, I realized we are playing at 4 something or other today. What a strange time to play footy midweek

Alas there will be no smoking meat for Josh today, I'll be farming the pig instead of eating it, but go the Dee's none the less.

Do have a nice big brisket lined up for father's day morning though.

Game day !!! Had forgotten until I saw the thread! 
How many times can Dees supporters think off where we’ve won the difficult game ( aints ),  only to give back any advantage , by losing the supposed easier game?

We won’t want to let our guard down this arvo !!!

I see there's a bit of MFCSS virus still lurking about Uncle.  Nothing a good Shiraz won't flush out!

I'd recommend giving it a fair shake well before the bounce.  Finished the remainder of my Wolf Blass grey off on the weekend PRIOR to the match and it worked a treat... anxiety quashed!

I'm having flashbacks of our loss to them in 2018, but I feel as though we've matured since then.  Plus our back line and overall team defence are in a better spot as well.

Dees by 5 goals.

They are missing a significant amount of good players from that team.

I am a little concerned about Papley. Im not sure who gets the gig but I hope they shut him down.

One day Weid is going to breakout and kick a big bag of yummy goodies. Hope it is today.

Funny time slot. We better win because its not a good look being 3 sheets to the wind b4  5.

 

6 goal margin in our favor which is the same number that Weid kicks as well as the number of comfort franks I eat b4 halftime and the square root of Oliver's possies.

Things to watch for:

Are we running hard enough to defend and reset the zone behind the ball?  This is a key indicator if we are on our game or not.

Are we winning the contest / clearance?  For a team that prides itself on this, we have sucked at this for many weeks now.

Do we have reasonable disposal to advantage, or do we play hot potato?  One works, the other makes me want to spew.

Do we have enough presence forward of the ball to offer a suitable target (s)?

Honestly, if we lose this one, we only have ourselves to blame.  Think it will be 42 points Dees win.

26° at game start and maybe 23° at games end. Humidity is forecast to be 68% which is typical winter conditions up here. 
Breeze blowing to the northern end. It will be a good coin toss for Max to win

We are up against Tour De French Fries highlights, so we are no hope...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
