Hop off the couch and head out now, FB. It’s way more fun hating Brisbane when you’re here. 😃

Shortly!

Waiting for my brother to come back from walking the dog

    At one stage this week the Lions were $3.25 and we were $1.38. a lot of money has been poured on e lions today, lets hope the Poured becomes poor by game end.

    We were never 1.38. Or anywhere near it

    Never read a Danielle Steel novel, never will. I just remember hearing about how in 75% of her novels the opening paragraph is a description of the weather. 

    Had a quick look on the Web.

    Romance novel, new experiences and the life of the rich and famous, dealing with serious life issues like illness, death, loss, family crises, and ...

    Not too far from the MFC experience. 

    Go Dees

    Would like to see Viney clean up Zorko That would give me pleasure.

    If we can win the game that will give me plenty of pleasure.

    Got gout so I will be stuck on the couch abusing the tele. Not confident about tonite but at least I will have some coopers to keep the gout going on strong.

    I’m pretty relieved Dry July is finally over. 
    What a long two weeks.

    Might have a couple tonight and watch us sneak home in a close one.

    Yes we were. Ladbrokes opening market. Was a silly quote and lasted a very short time.

    Hate seeing that on the ponies - always worry the owners have jumped off.


    Been some big big bets on the Lions today can't find much going the other way. Make our win even more enjoyable.

    I'm excited to see Brown, JVR and Melksham together. With the exception of Fritsch (who is a great individual forward but not necessarily a "team player" in the forward line) and with the exception also of Tom McDonald (though he isn't what he was), this is out crafty-est forward mix.

    I think a huge amount of our problems with connection are simply that our forwards don't know how to play forward - at least with Brown, JVR, and Melksham you have three talls with the nous to display proper leading patterns, which should hopefully provide good targets to our midfield.

    Throw in Petracca, Kosi (hoping for him to give us something) and ANB/Spargo, I think there's something to work with.

    Just have to win the contested ball, so Petracca's forward/midfield mix will be interesting. Petracca's more of an outside player in our midfield though, so hoping he goes forward and Viney/Sparrow/Jordan/Brayshaw can win enough of it and lower their eyes when going forward to the Brown/JVR/Melksham trio, with Kosi and Petracca lurking.

    Not seeing any romance on DL, Kev.

    The lions are well down the list of my most disliked teams. I despise Zorko though.

    On my way in on the train as we speak. Will soon be enjoying my first ale of the night at the corner hotel.

    You're speaking for yourself, jnrmac. We ALL would find it extremely pleasurable for Zorko to be cleaned up; firstly, by Viney as you state (because he would carry the dizziness and disorientation for a whole game) and secondly, by any other likely Demon candidate except Petty, such a Spaz, Hibs, Rivers, Tracca or May, just to name a few. Hell, after a few of these 'tragic' accidents, even Spargo could manage a backhander to the nethers for good measure.

    Amazed me prior.

    Not a lot in it... but understand their favouritism.  

    We're underdogs... lets get 'em.

    Not a betting man. Does the Lions being favourites hurt our chances of winning or is it totally irrelevant?

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
