    Now if 'Kiss' isn't incentive enough to get to big dance, I don't know what is. 🤟

    I saw Kiss last year (got a free ticket and only went to honour the memory of me when I was six). 

    I can tell you from experience that this band really needs a lot of explosions and a very dark arena to pull the whole thing off. 

    Going by the weather trends this year, I have a feeling the GF will be a warm one. Get ready for lots of high-definition  close-ups of some 70+ year-old dudes with black and white streaks melting down their faces, and with nary an explosion to hide behind. Could be “Meatloaf:The Sequel”. 

    (Mind you, I get a real thrill out of watching disastrous live performances, and thoroughly enjoyed Meatloaf’s set that year)

    Collingwood’s strong last quarters were viewed as a positive throughout the season.

    But it’s less than ideal to be habitually behind at 3/4 time. They won’t want to come that caper with us.

    This is the most bizarre stat…

    collingwood haven’t played in the rain in any of their 23 games this year.  

    Melbourne have played 6 games in the wet.

    How can a side go all year and avoid the rain? 

    in any case, Thursday night might be the first time all year collingwood have played with a greasy football.

    Definitely due a warm GF this year.

    2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 were all either 14 or 15 degrees in Melbourne. (Even the 2021 GF day was a cool day in Melbourne if memory serves...)

    We only had one wet game last year, Vs Freo at Optus.

    Yeah nah, can’t see the Club signing off on that. Waaaay too inflammatory for the delicate sensibilities of your average Dees supporter. “Be afraid, be very afraid”  (last week’s banner) is about as menacing as we’d get. Cut to 8pm tonight and I’m posting sneak peeks of this week’s banner which says “And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead” 🤣

    *That’s the name of a band so there’d be copyright issues, for one. 

    Shame, it's got a nice ring to it.

    Absolutely hammered down in Halls Gap in the morning ... not that has a baring on the climate at the MCG, but it is west, I suppose.

    The train hurts us becuase it negates the impact of our most impactful player - maxy.

    Hopefully Max isn't catching the train to the game.

    So are you less worried now if it rains? Surely our vast experience counts for something.

    I have seen kiss 31 times all round Australia    never disappointed   It will be a fun 4 song celebration         Now about Thursday  already nervous and very disappointed in the weather expected.    Max (whom I love is not much in the wet and he has alot of mates too)    Would have loved to see our real talent on show with a dry game.   Please just pull off a win in the slog.   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I read with interest in this morning's Age that Pendelbury was sprucing that the Collingwood unwashed faithful will make the MCG their Colosseum, presumably with the noise they make. We matched them on Kings Birthday for noise so lets make sure the boys hear us and make the MCG the Collywobbles "living hell".

    They have also been used to playing cox and Cameron and this will hurt them.

     

    Really good point.

    Maxy has less impacting the wet because he cant clunk his marks, and his ability to take contested marks around the ground is what makes him such a difference maker. 

    But taking thta strength away just means he has less impact - he still remains a brilliant athlete who can win his own ball and of course ruck brilliantly. 

    Cox and Cameron and average players in comparison to maxy. Neither have maxy's athleticism or ruck craft.

    And they won't be able to mark either - and without clunking marks both are bog ordinary players.

    Are you sure? I think their win against Port in Adelaide it rained or at least seemed like a slippery game.

    Why Kiss FFS?? There are literally  100’s of Australian Bands I’d prefer to see. The AFL are lucky the product is so good otherwise it’d be bust.

    Similarly, Darcey Moore said during an interview on the weekend that he thinks their 19th man will get them over the line on Thursday, their 19th man being the Magpie Army. Pfft, their 19th man’s got nothin’ on ours. Did he not hear our 19th man drowning out their 19th man on KB???

    The person who gave you the free ticket… I would’ve paid them to take it back.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
