It's never a pleasant experience being the away side at the G against this mob. Actually considered watching this one on the box for all of 5 minutes. Does anyone know where the general admission areas will be down at the Punt Road end of the ground today as I want to have as few of these soap dodgers around me as possible? 

On the positive side, if we are winning by 8 goals it’s not so bad seeing the ferals go nuts

ill do usual, stand on ground level around M9 where a few demons fans usually gather. And try not to get our teeth knocked out

Heading off in about half an hour with my Collingwood supporting brother-in-law to watch the game from high up on the 4th level. Very tempted to bring binoculars, or even "opera glasses" just to pump up the MFC supporter wealthy snob cliche. Feeling good but reckon it will be a close, gut-wrenching game.

Went to this game at the scg last year.

No big freeze.

No atmosphere. 

Hopefully this will be different.

Watched poor Weid struggle and take only one mark.

We came back hard but alas it didn't feel Ike a Qbday round at the scg.

Will we soon be having a kings Bday round?

Not wishing any sickness on HRH.

Just wondering.

As for Melksham being gifted a 200 game I thought he played poorly and then followed up a bad week.

He used to be very good but I think his days are over.

Without May....bbb in a massive slump and no tmac this won't be a cake walk.

Trac seems out of form too.

Mfcss back again.

It's a shame I got used to feeling arrogant about winning. 

Just settle on the MFCSS.

Demons can lose today and we will still be on top!

Freo lost May in game, Trac was crook & shouldn’t have played, then Petty went down, and we got run over with structure out, plus Langdon missed which also hurt structurally!

Last week 5 back, a few looked a little rusty, zero goals from turnover, which is very unusual and still took two poor umpiring decisions to finish us off.

Yes, forward line out of sorts particularly BBB, but it happened last year. Don’t hit panic stations yet. We timed things perfectly last year, have some faith!

Go Demons, demolish the filth!

If our boys are serious we win this game 

Brisbane, Fremantle and Carlscum all winning makes this even more important 

Another loss to a team that is not a real contender would be a concern particularly with our relatively tough home stretch 

so how about when we are 5 or 6 goals up at quarter time how about the team actually keeps on going this week and kick the gettable goals. This has turned into a very very important game for us on a number of levels

Go Dees

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Crazy to think we haven’t beaten this mob on QBD since 2017 and Jack Watts’ goal. We’re too good of a team to not beat them today.

As I said in another thread, I think we’ll win today but it’ll be a smallish margin. It’ll be low scoring like 70-55.

Going with your brother in law.

A bad move. Win or lose.

Maybe this week but the bye rounds aren't over yet!

If we  lose today, with the bye next week and Cats and Blues likely to win round 14 there will be 5 teams on 10 wins when the byes are over! 

And heaven forbid, the Cats on top as they play the Eagles next week and will show no mercy to get a big % boost.

Then the top 4 spots are going to be a bun fight.  We need to win today!

Well they beat us last year. We need to stand up today & win to be a game clear on top.                                                 Just hope ginnivan doesn't get the ball to many times & the umps don't feel like they owe him today. I also hope our forward line can click into gear.

[dees189227 12,394]

Oh and cue for all the snow jokes today. I see Mick Malthouse started yesterday in his column

Practicing my Collingwood jokes on Mrs Nekkid.  I hope for a better response at the ground…..

Our gardener was a Collingwood supporter. 

We had to get rid of him

He was an alcoholic

Malthouse is a borderline [censored] 

He used to bleat about QB vs Collingwood being Melbourne's Grand Final clearly not realising that in 7 actual grand finals v Melbourne, Collingwood won 1 out of 7 

This year he picked Essendon to be premiers

MORON !!

Don't worry, Geelong can't pass us next week even if we lose - they're 8-4, so the best they can get to is 9-4, we'd be 10-3 with a loss.

Brisbane and Fremantle haven't had their byes either, so they can't pass us if we end tonight on top. The only side who could theoretically pass us is Carlton, who are 9-3 having had their bye. They are currently 31.3% behind us though, and play Richmond next week.

If we lose, but we don't shed 7% and therefore stay above Brisbane, it's highly likely we finish next week on top. But, as I think Carlton would be favourites to beat Richmond, if we lose today there is every chance at the end of next week the top 4 are all on 10-3. And, given Geelong has West Coast, St Kilda has Essendon and Sydney has Port, there's a fair chance 5-7 on the ladder will all be just one game behind.

Which will mean, despite starting 10-0 and having a two game lead on 2nd, we could by the end of next week be one game out of 7th.

Thank you.  I was wrong about Geelong.

Malthouse was a great coach but lacks any quality in terms of insights or journalism right now.  
 

I went to a corporate gig about 4 years ago (2017/18) and Malthouse was the key note speaker on Motivation and Resilience.  Worst $15k spent by the business for an hour. He finished in 45 minutes and was “boring “ to be fair. Rattled on about his childhood and how he would spent time dreaming about getting to the VFL. Ok if he was speaking to high school kids but not corporate audience.  PowerPoint was scrambled slides put together without any link to his story.

There are free oxygen bottles under the seats Mb38. The air is a bit thin up there.

SNAG UPDATE…

We’re killing it!   Sold HEAPS!
 

Long queues of mainly Dees supporters, with the odd Collingwood supporter. I know, all Collingwood supporters are odd, amirite?! 😁

Forgot to add photographic evidence of us killing it.

[DubDee 25,962]

The Pies players must be worried - if we beat the crap out of each other what will we do to them?!

QB is now Collingwood's GF.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Can we kick a winning score?

Ben Brown needs to kick four at least but he will likely have Moore on him.

[dees189227 12,394]

I was going to say I think people will now stop saying it's our Grand final.

We played our Grand final last year thankyou very much & went quite well.
