It’s 6 degrees here, raining and cold af. And only 12 hours ‘til game time!

Good times 😳

 

It’s a good thing I packed nowhere near enough clothes; carry-on being only 7kg limit. Warm clothes are so overrated anyways, amirite?!

😳

Mum always said to my sister wear a spencer

good grief, even the temperature is considered woke these days.      Anyway, I thought it was plus 0.

Genuine 50 / 50 game imo.  Dees by 5 goals!!  ❤️ 💙

How good would it be if we gave them a hiding!?

Extreme MFCSS here. My biggest worry is we are not really playing that well. We mess up the centre bounces too often with tiddleliwink hanball and I can see that Horne Francis having a field day.

It is Clarry with his new haircut mixed with my little pony…

like every game, will be won and lost in the midfield and on turnover

if we control the ball in post-clearance as we have when we've been at our best, we'll limit their opportunities to utilise their small forward line approach and hit the scoreboard

it should be a cracking game between two top four sides

No Dixon, Marshall, Georgiades, Rioli or Fantasia. 

They’re good, but this is an opportunity.

If our midfield break even or win, with those outs in their forward line we should win.

I think there’s actually 5 legitimate top four sides this year. As ridiculous as that sounds lol.  lions, cats, pies, dees and power. So this is one of those 8 point games we def don’t want to drop. Big game!

Not confident about us stopping there scoring, think this will become a shootout which means the game becomes a coin flip

Normal service resumes? 😇

Huh?

I do not want a cracking game, I want us to put 7 through them in the opening quarter and open up a commanding lead. Do not enjoy close games on the TV. Hope T Mac plays a blinder.

GO DEES! ❤️💙

Well done WCW and the Demon Army, that's an exceptional display of empathy transcending football.

Apologies about the vagueness...

I was alluding to the constant feeling as a Demons supporter of not being 'confident' ,that never actually leaves us.  It just has at times, a different intensity, frequency and duration of symptoms, the etiology of course, being we were a very average team for many many years, and it doesn't matter about our modern success, it's still there.

Go Dees

At the very least EO 🙂, at the ground you can see exactly what's about to unfold.

what's everyone's thoughts on our current Game plan of conceding clearances to win the ball back in these conditions?

I don't think they go in thinking they are conceding the clearances. With one less in there, do you mean, there is a good chance of not getting it out? We have some good players in close, and our spread from stoppage with outside runners is an improvement from a few years ago. I reckon our problem with the out-number, is it makes it easier for the opponents to tackle, get a spill then win the ball. We are good at getting first use, and I trust our structures to get the ball out when the game is on the line.
