 Swooper would have this in a heartbeat. DBA4D5C6-E70C-4B24-9D2A-939B25DE8E01.jpeg.4223fb54d5eef77eec506ee3e0a6a96e.jpeg

Redundant communist era propaganda from the brain’s trust at the Footscray Soviet. 

Demons we are not intimidated by the bully boys from out west. Throw this puerile nonsense back over the Maribyrnong. The taller the monolithic facade the greater the fall. 
 

 

I actually think that's quite clever with his foot on the ball. reminded me of one of one of our beautiful bull mastiffs.

We have coach replacements from Gisborne. If i leave at 4:30PM and then walk from Southern Cross station, I should arrive at 3 quarter time.

Perfect. Just in time to sing the song and start the trek back home in time for work on Monday.

    Well that would be underwhelming, surely it could have more than last year's R1 (it was a Wednesday night).

    average home and away crowd between these two sides is sub 30k

    last year was almost double that after a premiership, and i'd say 85% mfc fans

    footscray have a tiny supporter base and their record of crowds at the mcg indicates their fans don't attend there

    Will get a few more tonight with Dees losing 4 players it evens the odds.

    Should be an intense close game.

    Crowd?  45- 50k tops. Bulldogs have a small following.

    Player to watch.. Kosi.

    Lets see what all this media hype was about. 

     


    I think we can cover Viney and Fritsch and I'm not sure Salem is best 22 after last years performances but May is a massive loss. Have no faith in Tomlinson hoping to be proven wrong and happy to give an apology after the game if he does his job.

    Exactly, CF! There mightn’t be as many of us there tonight as we’d like, but those who do attend will more than make up for it since we have indisputably the most passionate supporters of all clubs. It’s a fact! even if based on nothing other than coz I said so. 😆

    Not sure we can cover our best goal kicking player, unless BBB goes back to his best

    Four talls is an experiment.

    A bit like our experiment with Gawn and Grundy 

    Usual worrywarts predicting doom. Relax, we got this.

    I think Chandler can play a bit if he kicks one of two goals he's done his job. We easily accounted for Richmond without Fritsch.

    Yes that's a big concern for me too.  Jamara made a mess of him last time

    Wish I could be there tonight, hopefully the Demons get off to a great start of the season. If we lose its not the end of the world but still, I'd like to win.

    Go Demons!

    Not sure if this is for Melbourne? BOM says only a 5% chance of rain tonight. 

    The app I use reckons no rain tonight. Draws on BOM data but interprets it differently (not so conservative as BOM) and in my opinion is far more realistic and representative of what we are in for. GO DEES!

    I love the optimism some of you have. The 4 outs are too important players. No side in the AFL can cover such losses. My MFCSS is spiralling around the milky way atm. I see a 5 goal loss. Hope I am wrong.

    Yeah, nah I think you are wrong……(I hope)!

    55k tonight easily.


    AFL and TV exec's will be drinking champagne after the first two nights of R1  175000.

    They'll come back down to earth will a dull thud by late tonight.   Grimsby Port all round!

    Go Dees. Tomlinson better stand up otherwise we're cactus.

    I reckon the notion that it’s a significant experiment is grossly overstated. How is it so different to the Gawn/Jackson combo?

    Sure.

    But i'll take an experiment involving two AA rucks sharing ruck and forward duties (as vipercrunch notes, not far away the same set up as Jackson/Gawn - the only difference would appear to be Max will play forward more often) over:

    • four key talls in the forward line
    • with one being second year bean pole
    • another an inconsistent blow in like blobb
    • and a third player in UH who has undeniable talent but like Lobb goes missing.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
