Maybe we want to give him a chance to see if he stays or goes, maybe we wanted someone with good foot skills, or maybe we just wanted something a bit different, to see if it gives us a spark. In other words I haven’t got a clue. Fair enough. Thanks. We may know by tonight
Guest Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 Gates open earlier than usual today (midday) because the Field Of Women takes place starting at 12:45. Y’all look out for me… I’ll be the one wearing pink. 🤣

Deeoldfart 8,205 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 We just need to maintain our defensive structures reasonably well, and win more than our share of contests (just like we have for every other game this season except vs Essendon in Adelaide), and we beat the Hawks by 20 to 30 points. Simple, but why the Hell am I so nervous? 1
Deevout 534 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Come on boys, get it done 🔴🔵 🤞🏻for a big crowd for Max 200 and Nibs 150. 1
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Taking the dog for a walk always calms the nerves. Win today and the double chance is ours and we are up to our eyeballs in this premiership race. 2
Maldonboy38 6,436 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Mitchell is showing all the signs of being a very astute coach, and this will not be an easy game. But I see a very tight first half, Dees slip ahead in the 3rd quarter, then continue the increase in the 4th quarter to win by 25 - 30 points. Our full ground defensive set up will thwart their running midfield, and our mid sized and small forwards will be too much for their defence. And we MUST NOT let Sicily play his won game. Smith to play on him, make him accountable in the air and on the ground. Edited August 20, 2023 by Maldonboy38 1
dees189227 12,526 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Must win. That is all. We must start well & dominate hawthorn and stamp ourselves on the competition

Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 I came to Thailand for spiritual enlightenment and I must say my stay in Bangkok has been wonderfully ..... err .... uplifting. I have consulted my guru ( not Bob ) and I have been assured that the Demons will win today's encounter with the Dorks by 46 points. 5

BDA 23,048 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Last home H&A game of the year so bringing the kids and cousins along to this one. Everyone excited. Sunny and benign conditions expected so looking forward to clean, sharp ball movement. No fumbles please. Goal kicking accuracy would be great as well. He's in the hunt for coaches' award and Brownlow so I expect a big one from Trac. 30 possies and a 3 goal haul. 2

Jaded No More 68,976 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 If you don’t turn up today and choose to watch on tv instead (and you’re in Melbourne obviously), then shame on you. Final home game of the year. In the race for top 4. Captain Max playing his 200th. Weather is mild. Don’t be the sort of Melbourne supporter everyone laughs about. Turn up, make noise, and let’s bury those Hawks! 5
Kev 10,930 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Memories of our start against North Melbourne, gets me worried. They want to be up for some contest and tackles. Good chance of a finals like start, with some applied pressure, I reckon. Cmon Dees, give us commitment and wanting it for 4 quarters, I would hate us to be choosing when to go. I want to see Tommo cement a spot. Clarry to boom. Small forwards to have a day out. Marks and clean footy, to win it for us, together with forcing turnovers. Go Dees 3
