Not at all confident. 
 

Clearly we all know the contest is where it’s all gonna have the most impact against the Lions. 
Question is which part of the ground?

with Petracca out of the guts and down forward more we really need to trust that the new group of mids will get the job done. Sparrow, Rivers Jordon et al are seasoned bodies and should physically match it with the Lions. 
But of course, after that there’s skill level…. and whether we have enough of that I’m not so sure. 
 

Draw somewhere in the 65 point range.

    Righto gang, not braggin' - just statin'. 

    Enjoying an Aperol whilst killing time. Overnight ferry Brindisi to Corfu.

    1020h game time in Grecia. I'll be listening (sun too bright to watch) and reading. 

    Don't let me down guys. Saints coverage not bad. Hardly a Michaelangelo picture of the game but ...

    Go Dee's ... happy to get the 4 points but 2 from JvR and Kossie would be nice.

    Melbourne ... M. Gawn ... 3 votes.

    I'm a little scarred from the start of the year where they just blew us away in the midfield until the lights blew out.  Hoping we can capture some of that magic from the final 10 minutes!

    It's going to be a perfect night weather wise. no excuses for fumbling

    Looking forward to watching the BB/JVR combo in action. Reckon they'll kick 6-7 goals between them with Trac chipping in with a couple.

    Lower the eyes boys. Lower the eyes.

    I have belief and reckon we'll win by 25 points.

    Go Dees

    Very funny.

    Wont be a game for silky skills.

     

    Huge huge game.  Win it and we are likely top 4. Loss means likely battle and a 5-6 finish still could eventuate.  Strange to drop Grundy but in Goody we trust !!

    It's one of those games, win and The Lions simply can't play the MCG - lose and we are Just pretenders. Just take the four points " not you Petracca" and don't read the press.

    What a game this will be.

    Brisvegas are looking to gain street cred at The G and we must win to solidify a top four spot. 

    Our defence must restrict them. A repeat of last week's form from May would be handy and we must keep a leash on Charley.

    I reckon Petracca will spend more time at centre bounces and tonight's finals like game will draw the best from Viney.

    Our forward line is the question mark. Someone must lead the way with a four goal haul. It's a huge test for JVR but hopefully BBB will snag one early and drag the heat. A return to form from Kozzie and we're certainties!

    Friday night games make for a very painful trek from The Manor. Could someone please confirm whether or not  Dynon Road is fully functional?

    The Manor's in house diviner has predicted Dees by 19.

    Big stage Friday night, the streets are watching Kozzie the time is now to unleash the fury. 

    Time to send a message, a timely  reminder to the player haters that we are playing for keeps this year.

    One, that would mean rubbing shoulders ( Urgh ) with plebeians - a fate to be avoided at all costs.

    And two .... most horribly .... the terrifying probability  of the train picking up neanderthals at St. Albans!

    No, I shall travel in one The Manor's comfortable fleet in far better company.

    Hope we win in the ruck - no Grundy may change the psyche of Max

    Max has struggled with tall, gawky ruck opponents in the past

    Limit the influence of Neale and that other young kid (whose name escapes me - looks fairly suited to owning a long sword and drinking mead)

    Hey! We ARE NOT neanderthals  here in snorbs. Meth heads? Yes. Shoplifters? Yes. People who sleep in other people’s toss-out? Sometimes. But we’re NOT Neanderthals! 

    Besides, replacement buses on our line ended last night, we’re back to first-world travel!

    • 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.
