With inclement weather it could be a night out for our smalls in who are all in good touch.

Always had a soft spot for the Tigers. That is of course until they started dominating.  Same with Footscray.  Always liked an underdog. It's sad success brings out my contempt for clubs but that's footy.

Whoops didn't mean to quote myself.  But since Im here, why cant I give my post a like?

My weather forecast Ap is saying 70% chance of rain today and 80% tomorrow.

Any concerns?

Depends where your app suggests it's going to rain. I'm in Melbourne and I've just washed my hair. So maybe.....

I hope JJ is the sub because I think his style of play is perfect for heavy conditions 

[Hawk the Demon 756]

JJ as sub is my guess based on the way they set up the Captain's Run.

The hate is unhealthy but the schadenfreude of watching those  teams lose was the only salve during the Dee Dark Days.

I like how you're able to see that hate is unhealthy.  Many people are unable to get that stage.

Hate is such a strong word …….
It was obligatory to hate Pies as a Melbourne supporter in years gone, the two just went together and that DNA never goes away.

Hate Blues because they are Carlton.

Hate Dons since 2000 and their no responsibility drug saga enhanced it.

Hate Cats because of the unfair advantage they get.

The hate is unhealthy but the schadenfreude of watching those  teams lose was the only salve during the Dee Dark Days.

 

 

Excellent hate summation.

Boomers and their obsession with syntax, grammar, accuracy and factual information!

And we're all the better for it. Mind you, I've just started a sentence with a conjunction which is another no-no, so there is still room for improvement.

I will NEVER forgive Essendon for their violence in the 2000 GF.

NEVER.

Well Binnie I will hate them longer than that!

You've probably now informed younger readers what at least one conjunction is.   But I doubt they'll remember.

But LDC ....... it's just a convention..... so don't worry over it!

And, don't let the grammar nazis tell you any different!

3- Assume Draper and Phillips to physically go at Grundy to wear him down.  Tmcd could be used to support. This could be a weakness as exposed by the Lions.  

Why would we revert back to this when JVR who has performed the role since coming in is also playing 

[layzie 32,852]

I hope you're all ready.

Pregame pregame question. 

Will Max play against tigers?

Would you risk him when the Tigers have no ruckman? 
We then play North off a very short break and then Gold Coast. 
Doubt we will see him before North game. Could be as late as Hawks game. You don’t risk your most important players.

I guess we don't need him against norf and Gws anyway.

I disagree hate can be healthy eg I hate murderers, pedos etc - probably even more than I hate Essendon 🤣

Hate is good but hatred is better.

I was being facetious.

The MFC website advertised open training on Saturday afternoon, despite the fact that we play on that same afternoon.

The comms department needs to proof read their news releases.

I don't think it's a concern given we can activate the sub at any time
