Heading off to the store to get a bottle of whisky and a packet of smokes+ bucket of ice. Bucket will come in handy if i have to vomit after Hawkins and Scott hug after the game.

I think we’re right to be underdogs. I don’t care how out of form Geelong is, and I don’t care that they lost their most recent game at GMHBA. Winning down there is tough. 

Tonight is all about territory IMO. Geelong are a bottom 4 side this year for conceding scores from opposition inside 50s. Even though Clarry misses, if we can get on top of their midfield with no Dangerfield and Guthrie, and get the ball camped in our forward half, my hope is we will get enough opportunities to score. But if we are down in stoppages, I can’t help but fear that Cameron will return to his early season form and/or Hawkins will have one of those infuriating nights where he slots goals from everywhere.

I really want to see a good game from Kozzie tonight. He's been poor for the past two months, averaging less than a goal a game and a touch under 9 disposals. If he were being judged on performance and not potential, he'd be dropped. He needs to stop flying for marks and stay down ready to crumb. He hasn't marked a single one of those silly attempts, but rather has cost the team 20+ scoring opportunities across the season I'd wager. He's such a great talent and a proven match winner. He needs to get back into form if we're to challenge at the pointy end of the year.

Heading down the highway again where I hold a 2-11-1 record in terms of MFC success. What's the definition where you keep doing something and expect a different result?

Highlights include watching us kick 4 goals in an entire game of footy in 2013 in pouring rain, Getting beaten after the siren, getting beaten by 80 points the following year where we all thought we were flag contenders and fare-welling the coach that got us back to AFL relevance with an 111 point belting.

(by some sheer stroke of luck or destiny I pulled out of 186)

Other than that I'm supremely confident.

I reckon I'm 1 and 7. I was there when the wizard wore red boots and didn't get a touch, losing after the siren, getting done by 80 in the rain, and of course our famous win in 2015. I reckon I'll be 2 and 7 by the end of the night.

Kids/grandkids makes no difference.

If you're a big bully like me, you just threaten them. Works every time.

Effective parenting 101.

Petty, we’ve experimented with different set ups but ultimately 2 talls plus Lever works for reasons already discussed on here, and as good as Thommo was two weeks ago, Petty is a gun. I like the look of the fwd line as inexperienced as our two keys talls are (having Grundy / Gawn rotate through the fwd line allows us to do this). There’s a feeling of youth and excitement about it but ultimately what I like is we’re back to being mobile again. We have a great mix of players with Chandler taking his chances and Kosi who is well over due for a big one. Then there’s Fritsch who is possibly one of the most underrated players in the game. (I base this on his inability to get picked in an AA team, a team that I keep telling myself each year I care less about). Out of all of our learnings the quick mobile fwd line is the biggest so far.

I'm going for neither, with Petty and Smith being Plan B and C if needed down back.

Might I add, this is a tremendous opportunity to kill two birds (cats) with one stone:

1) Be responsible for Geelong officially throwing in the towel on season 2023, and

2) Ruining the 300th game celebration of Chris Scott - a la Corey Enright

GO DEES!

I wouldn't characterise it as flip flopping.

It has changed a bit, but that is par for the course with betting markets, but had remained close to even money - we were slight favs and now they are.

Personally I think the current odds (cats 1.88 dees 1.92) are pretty close to th3 true odds.

The late support for the cats might perhaps a late out for the dees (that the sort of inside info that can result in the pros jumping in)

Prior to the Dangerfield injury Geelong were favourites (and the presumption that Oliver would be okay to play for us).  We became the slight favourites.

Just guessing, perhaps it’s swung back to Geelong when it became known that Oliver was not playing.  All in all the odds seem pretty tight or even or whatever the correct terminology is. GO DEES!

Will be looking for some different patterns tonight.

And the inevitable rule of the week.

My prediction on that would be we win the [censored]'s by ten including pushing/touching the back area, touching the ball whilst in front position means an instant mark and pushing in danger, a new rule , but should be there ASAP.

I will accept 5/1

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
