GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs Brisbane

[leave it to deever 16,013]

Let's face it, a lot depends on three players in Kozzie, Jvr and Bbb. The first have been out of form and the latter played very little footy .

But like the Pies game, I think we've got this for some reason.

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)

This guy?

[layzie 29,308]

Goals are worth their weight in this one, imagine if Nibbler kicks 2, is that worth a nudie run?

Tonight would also be the perfect time for @picket fence 's favourite player - "Spargypants" - to bob up and snag 2 or 3!

The good news is that Kozzie could not have possibly played a worse career game than last week, so that can only be a positive in terms of our scoring avenues.

I'm feeling good vibes about Kozzie tonight. Performs well against the Lions, in fact he's kicked more goals on them than any other team.

Oh, you have NO IDEA how much I want this to happen!

[640MD 2,901]

Going tonight with three lads,

not normally super confident usually pessimistic but quite confident about tonight’s game    Not sure why but I think one goal or two a quarter better than them.

hope so anyway.  Go Dees 

will sit behind goals western stand end 

Go Dees warm the night up

Totally! I mean, it’s not like those security guards are gonna catch you.

Incidentally, re the guy who did the bare-chested pitch invasion a few weeks ago, the media reported that he was caught and fined. Yeah nah, he was on a tram home before those guards even made it to the boundary fence. 😆

Unless of course Jonny’s out in the middle…

Really can't afford to have Geelong within two points or Bombers equal points as us. We play well at the MCG and the Lions don't. Bring it home and take another season scalp. I keep expecting Kozzie to kick a few and I'm convinced this is the night for it. Hopefully both he and Spargo. Trac is slotting them nicely and Jvr, Milk and Bbb are great set shots. We are all keen to see a fwd structure that kills it. This is the business end now. I want to smash this mob. Let's keep those rotations through the middle with Trac spending time up forward. Including Kozzie and Rivers...maybe even Salo.

A fine in bred product of St.Albans no doubt.

Can we recruit him as I feel we didn't replace Hunt?

This Bairstow character is getting a bit of airtime lately, maybe I should watch!

Love how the [censored] has his arm in the air like he's winning.....your being carried off the ground like a rag doll at an international sports event fgs.

I might add that I think that was Johnny's only catch for the series this far.

Now is the time: mongrel, space, leading, absolute support for all, aggressive defence. Dees by 20 pts.

[leave it to deever 16,013]

Hope we get a decent crowd. Seems like more than a few dlanders are going. Been a while now since we've played at home too. Let's get comfy and win these next three games there.

Looking at the fixture it's quite conceivable that Power finsh first. Technically we could finish third  as our run home is fairly soft.

Have to win CPs, stoppages and ground balls. Do that and I can't see us losing.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,502]

Replacing a ruckman with a genuine forward changes the balance from last week. It will be very interesting to see whether this means Petracca spends more time midfield or whether we use the opportunity to keep him forward to see how well he melds with Brown, van Rooyen and the others.

From the nominated emergencies, I'd be shocked if anyone other than Smith is the sub.

Back at the ‘Home of Football’.  Our time starts now!  Dees by 4 or 5 goals.
