Giants will have it won by half time, please feel free to prove me wrong MFC (and I don't mean GWS to have it won by 3/4 time!!!!!!)

Jack “the clencher” Viney will up his value today with a BOG performance. 

[Engorged Onion 10,215]

Mmmm, it does have a vibe, as though those whom are in contract are checked out, and those who are playing for a contract (for the Dee's or elsewhere) may just raise the bar a bit in the energy stakes and play for themselves.

[dl4e 5,851]

You wake up on game day and hope your side wins. Problem is I think we will get thrashed but then again have not watched alot of GWS. Prove me wrong melbourne.

If it is Jettas last game they should break their balls for him. Been a great clubman.

[Deecisive 1,709]

so which melbourne football team will turn up today, the one that will play good football and get us all excited about the possibility of playing finals, or the one where we are a top 8 side playing a bottom side and who capitulates. Until about 2 weeks ago i had hoped we had turned the corner and were starting to play some good consistent football, with some awesome patches and  I looked forward to us playing a major part in the finals. But if these players cannot rise to the occasion with finals on the line against bottom dwellers then our chances not only this year but in future years is grim. 

[Ethan Tremblay 30,861]

Jetta still has a year to run on his contract, he may not be an automatic inclusion into our best 22 every week but I imagine he’ll get the occasional game next season.

Our last 2 games were losses because of intensity and effort. I can't see what has changed just because our President had a crack publicly, we are trying different players, and an Age journo has done a trifling fluff piece about power plays behind the scenes. 

We will probably win well this week, then get thrashed next week. This is Melbourne way. I have spoken. (kudos to the Mandalorian!)

Not a bad show Mb38

hope so

We were to play them round 2 off the back of the WC debacle.  They were in decent form and we were trash.  We have peaked and come back to baseline, and they have gotten worse.  Probably better to play them now on the off chance we bring something today.

[BDA 22,755]

We’ve had plenty of passengers the last 2 games but I can’t see us winning tonight if Weideman has another poor game. He needs to lift otherwise I don’t see where the goals are going to come from.

You could have least asked for my permission to use my pic.

Go Dees.

Pass the Shiraz please.

[ding 5,126]

This team doesnt have it in them.

Easily beaten the past 2 weeks by poor teams shows we have already checked out.

That and Goodwin.

 

Our season ended a couple of weeks ago.

Why???

The game will be all over by quarter time!

[sisso 2,580]

no idea who's worse, us who threw our season away against non finals sides when we had everything to play for or them who lost to the bottom side last week and dropped their captain who's on $7m....

[Stevienic23 1,183]

I've mentally checked out - unfortunately there is nothing else to do tonight so I'll put myself through this torture once more

Nope. In true Melbourne style we win the next 2 and get pushed out by the doggies.

Keeps looking like he will break out but still not certain if he will be a star.

Most premier sides have a coleman eligible player. Maybe it will be him or maybe Jackson. The latter has shown better form earlier.

Perhaps we should just lure one (although theres not many about).

I have no idea why, but I think we will win tonight.

Full disclosure: I said that the last 2 games.

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,367]

Has there been a club media ban this week ? No podcast from Gawny or Talking Points interview from Benny G. Haven't noticed any radio interviews either. 

[NeveroddoreveN 1,034]

On form i would not be laying money on either team!  This is the "flaky" cup playing for a flake bar as the prize.  

On paper they should absolutely murder us....10 goals+

There is a blueprint to beat GWS though and it has been laid out well by other teams.  Control the centre square, push them long and down the line, take away their run and gun style they love to play.   I actually think they seem scarred from their recent GF loss, which was maybe worse than our prelim vs WC few years back.

If we come in a with a solid game plan we will beat this mob despite them having lot more talent.  If we come in with anything less we will miss out on the flake bar.  I love/hate this club haha!

[Left Foot Snap 2,403]

I would play Nev as a defensive forward. Think he might surprise.

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Giants have made too many changes to win this. I’m actually confident we’ll beat them by 20+ points.

Still think we’re doubtful for finals though unless Clarko pulls a rabbit out of the hat to beat the dogs.

[Wells 11 5,401]

If we kick straight we'll win this.
