For a team sitting top of the ladder I don't have alot of confidence in our ruck stocks.

Weid gets his final chance. I hope he takes it.

Not that I’m excited or anything but…this is my FIRST EVER interstate match!!!  🥳

Look out Adelaide, there’ll be a coven of footy mums behind the goals and make no mistake… we’re NOT to be taken lightly!

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!

    Well, I am off to bed. Been a big day of celebration over my way with a birthday in the family. 
     

    will be watching over breakfast and a coffee.

    I have confidence in our systems and structures.

    Mighty Dees by 5 goals

    The only thing that concerns me is the inside info Burgess has on our player stengths/weakeness, game structures etc. 

    Crows will be all out to get a fast start.  We will need to be alert early for new tactics, after all they surprised us with a winning game plan last year, without Burgess. 

    If we can get the fast start, kick straight and take the crowd noise out we will be well on our way.

    Had hoped this would be a % booster and we win by the 6-8 goals.  Now thinking a win of 3-4 goals, even without a recognised ruckman.  A game to bank the 4 points and move on.

    The pressure’s right back on today in the absence of our two ruckmen. 

    Our list management and recruiters have done a solid job in recent years but it was obvious at draft time last year that there was potential for today’s scenario. Apart from Max and Dogga, all we had was 195cm Majak Daw in the twilight of his career and the likes of TMac, Weed, the Browns and maybe Tomlinson who are makeshift at best. They  sidestepped the issue at the National Draft and didn’t address it at Midseason Draft time so let’s hope that it doesn’t blow up in our face today.

    WCW ... hope you have an enjoyable day at the footy.

    Where is everyone else going to watch the match? If anywhere. I'm going to the Sporting Globe in Richmond.

    Yep! Especially when any of the boys are unduly disparaged. 😉

    JK, of course.
    But M Brown, the walking vomit emoji (on DL, anyways), is one such player.  Shazza Neal-Bullen is very fond of “Mitchy.” Join the dots. 😁

    Went to many interstate games most even but

     

    that was some time ago, prior 1974.   The trips home in the bus were “interesting “ 

    a lot of youthful emotions etc

     

    mum was never there. Or dad !

    I’m waiting to board and there’s a group of sadsack Carlton supporters. I thought, look at those poor chumps, dejectedly going home to Sadelaide having attended last night’s match. But now I just hope that’s not me tomorrow. 😬

    Hypothetical

    You're in hospital likely to be discharged today after spending the day in ED yesterday with a cardiac 'issue'.

    Assuming discharge goes ahead, would you:

    - watch the Dees game live on the TV

    - only watch after knowing the result?

    We're much better than the Crows with or without a recognised ruck man.

    There'll be no boil-over this year. Dees by 39 points

    I wouldn’t waste any time Luci, I’d send Harmes straight to Burgo.

    We’ve had great ruckmen for the last, what 30 years?, and we have been pretty [censored] in all that time - only last year did we win the premiership. I’d suggest that  ruckmen are simply show bag fillers, and we can still win this easily  even without our 2 best big men - because we have strength all over the ground and a midfield that don’t need silver service to perform.  Go Dees

    (please don’t tell Max and LJ I called them show bag fillers).

    We should still be fresh and after last year surely wont take them lightly. Big job for Weid to halve the ruck contests and our mids to shift to sharking their taps. Looking forward to seeing another week of ANB, Spargo, Koz and TBed swarm the forward pressure.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
