These two sides look like they would rather be napping than playing finals 

In fairness I’ve watched 5 minutes of this game 😂

If not already noted, it just occurred to me that it was also the West Coast vs Adelaide game that cost us a finals spot by the slimmest of margins in 2017.

Hopefully that is not an omen for tonight.

I didn't want to post on that well done.

Crows tanked last round of 2017 and cost us finals. Karma last week was lovely. 

(Yes I know we should've beaten pies that round but that's not the point)

Dent the Lions confidence, make them question themselves prior to finals. They’ve everything to play for and it would say a lot if they can’t get it done. 

Sure. But if they lose, port wins and we win we play port at Adelaide oval week one of finals.

So, I’d prefer to beat the Pies at the G over PA

All have equal footing for me… I would love nothing more than beating Collingwood at the G and I would love nothing more than beating the lions at the Gabba and I would love nothing more than beating port at Adelaide

hmmm…and I’m not even confused by that post 😂

Port play well in Brisbane, I would not discount them from knocking off Brizvegas.

if we're playing the bears up there, i'll take the twilight slot

doesn't look nearly as slippery and suited to their style of play than a night game often does

Total myth that the Gabba is slippery, it's dry from early/mid July onwards. Playing in Brisbane is like playing in Melbourne, just with possibly higher temperatures. Totally different story at the start of the season.

I'm confused. Did you not read my post?

We won't play the pies week one if the saints win this game. 

If the saints and the dees win:

We will play Port IN Adelaide if they beat tigers (which they will).

Or if port lose we will play the lions at the g.

Wobbly Pies at the G our best option.

I've only been back less than 48 hours so I may be missing something as to why Coll is seen to be an easier QF than Port or Lions.

I noticed they lost a few games recently but they will have Moore, Murphy and McCleery back.  They rested Elliot for half the game last night, Sidebottom played in 2nd gear and everyone will have two days extra rest than us.

If we play Coll and lose we are facing a game each week to the GF and an away PF.    I'd rather an away QF than an away PF.

Now that the Lions have won, I'm hoping for a Port loss tomorrow.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
