You're right. I have no idea what I was thinking. Collingwood losing would have put Brisbane 5th.

It would've been an insane two groupings after hopefully a QF v Sydney win  -  You would've had the media anointed premiership contenders all in one group, then all of the clubs that were fancied early on in the season, that the media have all jumped off. 

Anyway, not to be: silver lining is a better all round finals series and probably a tougher draw to prime any team good enough to make a GF.

Not me. My hatred of Geelong has surpassed my hatred of the pies.

I want the Cats out as soon as possible to wipe the smugness off their faces.

Just had a look on Ticketek. 
It said club members can purchase up to 10 tickets. (I thought is this right?….) I then looked at the Cats v Pies game and club members can only purchase 1 ticket. Obviously both Victorian clubs with large supporter bases.

Yeah, that is what it says...10 tickets per member.  So I guess they aren't expecting a lot of Sydney fans.  Nonetheless it seems a lot of tickets...

So this finals structure is like a Dan Brown novel according to the ‘efforts’ in their thread.

Lock it down, people! You’re embarrassing yourselves…

You just referenced a Dan Brown novel so there’s plenty of embarrassment to go around

I’m sure your kids would prefer to be at the G watching a final? Start early convincing them 🙂

What’s this ‘convincing them’ business? Next thing they will be choosing what they want to eat!

Bit of ‘tough love’ needed here.  They will thank you later on in life.

Same the next best thing after a Melbourne premiership  would be  the cats out in straight sets

Was so keen for this game until I read the sydney Bigfooty board to suss and they’re saying there’s no chance they lose this and we should be scared of them :( 

Not going now

Don't believe them!

We are a better team now:  Hibberd will not let Reid get away like Tomlinson did, we have May back (but they have Buddy back), we have a different fwd line without M. Brown.  Our ball movement is different.

And Sydney have won seven consecutive games.  Can they continue?  I have my doubts!

Anyway, win lose or draw all dee fans should go. 


They only beat us by 2 goals FFS and we were in the middle of a form slump (aka loading). 

They can have all the confidence in the world, but I saw us and them play this weekend and I know who kills who at peak form (and we played a far more formidable opponent at a ground they rarely lose at!).

The same Sam Reid that is 196cm tall?

Job for Petty or Lever. May to take Buddy.

Hibbo will take Papley.

May to Buddy, Petty to Reid (what an upgrade on Tomlinson), Lever on McDonald. 

I would get Harmes to play on Heeney. For me, he is their key playmaker. If we can shut him down I think we win.

True.

I was hoping to give  @Demongirl35 reasons to go to the game ie we are a much stronger team now than in round 12.

I'll add a few more reasons on match ups:  neither May or Buddy played last time but naturally May will take him.

Now that you mention Petty, he was injured early in the rnd 12 game but played on so our defence was further weakened.  There is a lot of synergy in our back 6 so with a fit Petty and May in we are much stronger.

Ditto at the other end of the ground without M. Brown.

There is a fair chance Hunt will go to Papley as he has done a great job on small fwds this year and has the speed to keep up with him.

And they had Paddy Mc playing on Kozzie who drifted off and marked everything in sight as did all their defenders.  I doubt that will be allowed again with Max down there now.  Reckon Melksham would be good match up for Paddy.

I hope he does, and whilst I don't condone violence, I hope he punches the living suitcase out of him.

I hate that thing about patience being a virtue. 

Is anyone aware of how many tickets I can purchase with my barcodes, for context I'm a Trident member with 2x barcodes.

Any help on this would be amazing.

The Ticketek website says 10 per member which seems odd really high, especially as ticket sales to the general public don't open until 3.00pm tomorrow.  It doesn't seem right that a member can buy 9 additional tickets for non-members.  Confusing...

The club is sending emails to members this afternoon so hopefully, it is all clear then.

I wonder if Hibberd takes Heeney when he's forward and Hunt is given Papley?

Surely the Cats v Pies is not a Saturday twilight game?  wtf

Why couldnt our game be 7.10 pm not 7.50. ffs

Next year those AFL clowns will be scheduling games at midnight.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
