Anything more on this aspect

Nothing clear as yet only to say it’s potentially a definite.

I’ve got a bad feeling about this game, which l haven’t had for any other games this year. The talk from David King about us being 50% better than any other team this year, and then having that re-enforced on AFL 360 makes me very uneasy. It would be very easy for us to fall back into old habits. Goody and the coaching staff have a real challenge on their hands tonight….l hope lm wrong but l fear l am not……

MFCSS at its finest. Part of me feels the same, part of me knows we are a good side, and another part of me doesn’t care as we are premiers.

Hopefully not a bad omen but my Dees pedestrian gate fell off its hinges today 😬

Your gate was probably drunk from celebrating another win.

On the subject of omens, my non-footy-loving-or-even-liking son spotted this car this morning…

 

 

Clearly a Dees supporter (stickers on the window). But here’s the trippy bit… the number plate is BEM 158. As you can see, I call him Bem, have done pretty much since he was born. And when was he born? Why, on the fifteenth of August (15/8) 😳

If this car belongs to anyone here, he wants to know if you wanna sell the plates. He said he’ll even leave the little Melbz sticker on them.

The problem with being at the top of the table and undefeated is we're bound to lose some time but I can never tell when so each and every game feels like a danger game

Better that it be to the Giants and not certain other sides. Mainly Essendon 🤮

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

On the subject of omens.. while watching the GF replay yesterday (there were boring games on live) I could not help but notice the score after Angus Brayshaw kicked the goal to put us in front

9:10     64

Such symmetry

Any word on Selection? Tracc test, May training away yesterday?

Ch7 reported yesterday he was training away from main group....

No hint as to why..? Just dropped that one in the news story

[DeeZone 10,146]

Just need to stay focussed, GWS are always hard to beat, Dees by 27 points.!!!

[Crompton's the man 659]

Oh what a (different) feeling 

 

 

heading in to the game 

and knowing 

win lose or draw

 

they will play with skill and determination 🤞🏿

The good part is our players don’t seem to think like that anymore, even if us supporters haven’t quite shaken it!

I have no idea why anyone still has MFCSS. It died for me after the Richmond game last year.

[Crompton's the man 659]

and it’s such a comfort to know that the umpires will adjudicate with impartiality and  consistency

We are playing way below are best.

Things are going to start to click and we might see it tonight.

Maybe it’s a positive omen - that Melbourne will be anything but “pedestrian” tonight. 

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,408]

GWS to me are currently like Port, West Coast and the Dogs, you look at their side on paper and there’s some big names there, but they are playing very poorly at the moment. I didn’t see there rd 1 match against the Swans but against the Tigers and Freo they were ordinary. Yes they can play some good footy in patches but ultimately I think the coach has list the players.

[adonski 12,445]

Trac in a polo instead of a warm up top...ominous 

[DubDee 26,128]

Statement for the comp tonight. Giants will attack and not flood back

demons by 65

[Pates 9,660]

I’m taking my wife to her first footy match tonight (she’s a pom). Really just want to see us play well, don’t need her to be hooked and become a demon for life but I just want it to be an enjoyable experience for her. And of course it’ll be more enjoyable if we win!!!

I hope no one tells them they'll get smashed if they attack. 

[binman 43,822]

Does anyone know if the top of the Ponsford is open?

[peasant 62]

Well that's curious - Just arrived, and MFC reserved seats on Level 1 of the Olympic are Alcohol Free Areas. Not sure how popular that will be.

As for the game, GWS was the last opponent I saw live last year before we went into lockdown and we were ordinary that day. Hoping to get one back.

[Lord Nev 13,512]

Fair few of the players in the polos, so don't reckon Trac in one is a worry.

Haven't heard there's any late changes, anyone else?

[picket fence 17,539]

I reckon Tracc will be a late withdrawal Dunstan in
