I’m easily satisfied today.  The following will do me nicely:

-  some solid ‘in-game’ breaks for Max, Tracc, Vines and Maysie;

-  some game-day run into Fritta;

-  Clarrie to clean out any remaining cobwebs;

-  a good look at Disco in the Ones;

-  nice little win;

-  no injuries.

Thanks

Port are really going to want to steady their ship today. Only two wins out of the last six matches (and neither of those wins against top eight sides). They are not going to want to enter finals at 2-5.

Go for the win and let the cards where they may. Winning form and mentality the priority over QF opponent and venue imv

The Lions were ordinary last night against a dogged opponent. We're a cut above the Saints so the Gabba should hold no fears for us. And the Lions record in finals there isn't great either. highly likely this is all moot anyways cos Port won't lose to the tiges. 

I'm looking at Fritschy's form and what disco can bring. And no injuries please.

A confidence boosting 25 point win coming up

Go Dees

Couldn’t care less if we win or lose (of course I don’t want to get smashed), as long as we don’t get injuries. 
A healthy list is the most important factor in winning a flag in September.

Yes. A possibility.

But we then have the chance to do the same.

Hope we play well and are "in form" against the Swans.

Winning is preferred. As it helps build momentum for us.

Don't care where we play in the finals. You gotta beat the best to be the best. Although, obviously at the MCG against the Magpies is preferred.

No injuries is important. As we need to be fit and healthy for finals football.

Lastly, I hope Christian Petracca plays extremely well and gets the 3 votes in our match today. That helps him to be a sneaky chance to win the 2023 Brownlow Medal! Fingers crossed!🤞

Brisbane are 2-4 in finals at the Gabba since 2019.  I don’t think Port should be any more worried about travelling there than to the G.

If we know we are playing Thursday, I’d give the AFL the big FU they deserve and make as many late changes as possible. 
For one I would pull May out. If he gets injured or concussed we are in big trouble.

I like your strategy. Couldn't agree more.

If Port lose to a depleted Tigee side (tank) Dees will show the world  how you really go the tank !

If Port win ,great, we go hard at the Swanees and spoil the show.

So play hard, go for the win but don’t kill yourselves. 

The latter part of the season has been one of constant surprises. The Tigers appear to have checked out but I wouldn’t be ruling out yet another surprise in this case.

Well I'm where all Melbourne supporters presumably go to. I'm at the snow. Got out of the car & the first voice I hear is someone saying go pies tonight. Great can't even escape them here.

Today I want a nice win, players to dominate obviously no injuries especially concussions & if Goody's sensible he'll take key players off in the last quarter to not risk them

They would prefer going to the G because thats where their imaginary Premiership will be won.

Some major carry on here today..

We'll take the game on as serious as we have under Goody's tenure. 

I hope we win and it's an absolute grinding one too. Nothing better then a good solid test right on the eve of finals to see what we're really made of. If it's one team you want to do it against its certainly Sydney with their contested game plan style.

Football is also a contact sport.. injuries happen.. who would have thought hey?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
