I think Richmond will be desperate with finals on the line, I think they should have beaten us on ANZAC Eve but for inaccuracy/accuracy differential, I think their backline is capable, their midfield is not missing anyone and is batting deep and I think they have just enough avenues to goal in Riewoldt, Martin and Bolton.  If Lynch was playing I'd be even more pessimistic.

I also admit there's a bit of MFCSS vibe, and it's been there all week, even ahead of the upset results that make the win more important for us.  Sometimes "I got a feeling, a feeling deep inside ..."  I have money on Richmond little-win.

Hope we go with Hibberd as sub and give Smith a full game at Casey.

I also think a loss at this time is not fatal for any of the contenders - hell if it is, put your money on Carlton for the flag.  I will have a nibble at that though if Richmond wins.

I think you have indigestion @old55 🤣

Richmond will come at us hard. They always do but I think we’re building. I just don’t see us losing this one

    Looking forward to beating Richmond only for Barrett to anoint the Tigers as the 4th or 5th best side in the competition.

    We’ll win today. It’ll be a resounding win. It’ll be a memorable win. We won’t lose another match this year. We’ll finish second on the ladder at the end of H&A and our first final will be at the ‘G vs Brisbane and we’ll make Zorko cry, again.

    Why? Because I said so, and that’s as good a reason as any.

    GO THE MIGHTY DEES! ❤️💙

    PS: some DA peeps are watching the Casey match today. They just reported seeing Clarry running, and running very well. They say he looks great.

    Spargypants is also there.

    Hope your day gets so much better, FD. BTW, what size jocks do you wear? Asking for a mobile phone company. 😁


    Sounds like Smith to be the sub with @picket fence reporting Hibberd is also at Casey.

    Unless there's drastic change to our team in the coming weeks then I think Smith has found his spot in our 23. The perfect sub.

    Reckon it will be another test of my weak ticker today, no game is easy this time of year (except maybe against WCE)…us by 8 points

     

    Looks like no Brodie Grundy for Casey.

    Sub? 
    Smith is due for a full game. He needs the miles in the legs. 


      On 30/07/2023 at 02:08, whatwhat say what said:

    they just called him as lining up at full forward on the casey stream

    spargo seems to be playing for casey too

    Oh good, I didn't see him running out with the team.

    I’m quietly confident today but won’t lie I’d be feeling much better if Clarry and Fritta were playing!

    Who wouldn’t? 

    I’m outdoors at a little Thai place at the top end of Bourke St and they have a dish called Crying Tiger (tough). I’ll take that as an omen.

    This thead is starting to have a few kinks in it!😵‍💫

    I had a nightmare earlier in the year that they would beat us with a goal in the last minute. I awoke with a cold sweat. Sometimes a dream can have the opposite meaning which I hope is true.

    I don’t see a problem with that. 😁

    Just hope the players realise this round the umps are appearing to crack down on discent. We don't want to give Richmond any 50 metre penalties

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
