Are you the bloke asking $450 for jousting sticks?

With COVID, it's a buyer's market. People are flogging off things cheap to make ends meet. Don't pay any more than $350, and make sure they do contactless trade. Get photos to make sure the sticks are made of pine or cypress -- if it's gum or something hard, it's dangerous and fake! Don't be a statistic.

     We would have to win 7 straight games.  Including 4 finals, which includes a prelim and a granny.

    The odds would be 1 million to  1 a best

     

    Something tells me you didn't excell at maths P2J

    This may have been covered elsewhere, but can someone tell me if we have stayed in Cairns the past week, avoiding the travel that supposedly sapped our energy, according to Goody.

    I believe we stayed 

     

    Probability of making finals is around 0.28 in my guess

    based on 70% win probability tonight

    50% against GWS and 80% against the Bombers

    Would be interested to know what odds the bookies are giving for us to make the 8.

    I'd like us to just focus on something we were no.1 in the league a couple of years ago........ guarding space. It all flows from that. If we get on the front foot early and guard space well, I think we win.

    Unfounded optimism. Nervy pessimism. Plenty of humour. Posters checking in from various points of the globe, posters getting themselves pumped. BBQ and beverage reports. Crazy score predictions. Pre-game routines. For as long as I can recall and even at the worst of times - this is what I had come to expect of the game-day thread. A ritualistic shedding of the emotional baggage of the prior week and a chance for re-set, at least for the few hours leading up to first bounce. Somewhere I could come feeling little interest in the match ahead and leave excited and fully committed to cheering my [censored] off. Now it's just a bunch of people moaning. I hope our players have their minds on the task at hand and not taking a negative attitude into the game, as we ask of them week in week out. For many of us the football and watching our club is greatest escape we have from the workaday - why not enjoy the fantasy? Go Dees.

    Hard to see us winning with this team. Plus Freo are not that bad!

    The big guns will need to play out of their skin...


    Robbo said the bombers lost so badly based on their fixture ???

    It's close to start time and I'm getting a  bit of a twitch in my ....... err nethers.

    Call me a [censored] but I also have money on the Dees.

    I reckon we'll crush them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
