GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

I feel good vibes today. I believe any residue draining away of bathwater has been completed and players will respond accordingly.

Bad Omen:   Yesterday a flock of very large magpies arrived in my front garden.  First 2 then 3 then 6!!!  Haven't seen a single magpie in the street since moving here 6 months ago so where the heck did they come from!!!!  And why now!!!  Last week's confidence sapped.

Good Omen:  Confidence returned last night with Elliot out.  In recent years we have only beaten them when he hasn't played.

Sticking with Dees by a heart-stopping 9 points.

Can't wait to get to the G!!

Up here in Cairns the White Galahs have beaten off the Black Galahs on Smithfield  Power Poles so i'm not sure what is going on there.

Pies list of missing players will not be the deciding factor today. They recently (and historically) best us by being harder and stronger for longer all over the ground. Today is another big test for whether we can go hard enough for long enough against decent competition.

Haha, girth. I'm sure it's fine!

Possibly not as fine after today!

[Palace Dees 2,341]

Struck down with the lurgy this morning and can't go to the game!!!  😫

This means I have an MCC members reserved seat and visitor ticket available.  No cost, I just want it utilised. Any MCC member without a ticket (and a friend to go with) that wants to go please dm me. First in best dressed.

not to sure about today , the way we been going about it lately we would want to get the finger out big time  need pressure , pressure and more pressure and take our chances in front of goal , very nerved about this game 

[Ethan Tremblay 30,987]

I feel the Pies pressure will be too much for us.

The positive posters know how long we were terrible for and as I said to another Melbourne supporter who was giving it to his Carlton mate last week, stay humble. We don't want to turn into Hawthorn.

Agree 100% with this, would like this to be something which separates us from a lot of other supporter groups.

Be known for our class and humility towards the others.

Having said that, surprisingly the oldest boy although a Pies supporter is actually quite humble towards other groups, even Freo who he absolutely despises.

I've just come back from a weeks holiday so I've missed all the pre game build up.

But I have no expectations today. I think this game for me is more about Neale and the slide beforehand. Maybe that's because you get a laugh at them sliding down into the freezing water & it takes your mind off the game for a bit.

I just don't want to see cox do anything so I don't have to hear the stupid USA chant

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,084]

First time in forever that I haven't tipped us to win 😔

Ole Dub is doin it in style today (thanks to @FearTheBeard

hitting the MCC, about to throw on a collared shirt if you don’t mind. will tuck it nicely into my jeans, assuming my girth allows

and i haven’t started drinking yet so i can keep it classy!

 

I'm tipping that 3/4 time exit you posted about above Dub maybe involuntary.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,987]

Anyone looking for a last minute ticket? 

[The heart beats true 18,145]

Anywhere I can find out the rundown for today? Like what time the sliding stuff is on?

[BigFez 1,462]

Can anyone remember the last time we went into a game not as the bookies favourite?

Imagine saying that sentence to your 2013 self.

[dees189227 12,405]

I'm worried that the likes of Maynard will target Van Rooyen today. Don't think Moore will but we know how undisciplined Van Rooyen can be and also he's still young and inexperienced 

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

Great job by the club at Fed Square.

[dazzledavey36 55,366]

Jack Ginnavan a potential late out today.

Have I missed something here? 🤷‍♂️😆

[Palace Dees 2,341]

Free ticket/s still available.  Willing to split so even if not a MCC member, you can use reserved seat visitors ticket as long as you meet dress code eg collared shirt.

Does anyone know if we're loading?

I'm sure there will be plenty of loading up at the beer shop.

Seriously though no idea, I'd imagine loads have increased though.

I am. Carb loading. Have been since 1997.

If we win then no we're not.

If we lose then yes we've been loading all season.

My daughter just took this vid of her new puppy. Hoping it is not insight into  WCW’s talked about new Goody strategy for today.

Go you good Dees!!!!!

Win lose or draw today, this round is a great win for the cause Neale is fighting and a wonderful future legacy. Thanks ND, we will with your efforts one day, beat this horrible disease.
