Yeah but they have crumbers at every contest and others waiting off the pack to move it on

MFC has Kossi chasing screamers  and mids kicking it to packs  with no marking forwards

    The BOM has updated for Thursday.

    It's gone from 2-8mm to 1-4mm.

    20 degrees at lunchtime. 14 at the first bounce.

    The iphone weather app (yeah I know LOL!) is saying that all the rain will occur from 7pm to 10pm.

    I actually find the iPhone app to be weirdly accurate... but only 24 hours out. Any earlier and it's basically a random guess like any other weather app out there.

    Every chance the showers won't start until the end of the game or even later. Friday is now meant to be the worst rain of the week.

    LOL shows you how accurate it is.

    I would not bother checking until tomorrow after lunch, and even then it'll change 10 more times.

    My guess; it will either rain, or it won't.

    AccuWeather says a couple of nothing showers in the late afternoon and a 7% chance of a shower at 6pm and nothing after that. Don't bother with the ponchos folks just the red and blue scarves will be fine for the... murder.

     It’ll likely not rain until Friday. I’m so pumped for this match. Big crowd, big opponent and the chance to go to a Prelim. Bring your A fame Dee’s and get it done

    Tmac in the wet. Strewth

    Maybe they'll go with  Spargo or JJ.

    No other change.  

     

    While i wouldn't expect Macca or any KPFs to kick a bag in wet or greasy conditions i reckon we already have too many dour types that don't worry the scorer DB.

    Spargo & JJ are just two more that rarely do.  Both also struggle with distance in the dry let alone poor conditions.

    We need to put a winning score on the board even in dodgy conditions.

    Macca will also most likely get Moore as well which may free up JVR a little.

    I expect we might put someone on Moore to drag him around.

    Not sure if Tmac still has that tank.. Fritta likes covering territory.

    I'm not a KISS fan, and agree it is crazy not to book Aaussie bands, but there is one big difference to meatloaf. 

    Meatloaf was very much a has been and decades past being a top seller.

    I heard Gerard Whately say something similar ie kids won't know who KISS are. But in fact he was just showing out of touch he is. 

    KISS remain huge and continue to find new, young audiences all over the world. They are huge with kids now.

    People don't but CDs much anymore, but KISS are making a fortune from streaming.

    On spotify they get over 13 million monthly listeners and their most streamed song is I was made for loving you with over 800 million streams. 

    Those numbers aren't all old foggies reliving their misspent youth. Millions of kids love them.

    For the same reason they continue to rake in serious coin with touring . Their last major tour was i think 2019. KISS were the only hard rock act in the top 10 grossing tours in the US that year, coming in at number 7, grossing more that $80 mill US

    2019 Top 10 North American Tours

    1. The Rolling Stones ($177.8M gross; 784,652 tickets sold)
    2. Elton John ($157.4M gross; 1,155,510 tickets sold)
    3. Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band ($97.0M gross;, 867,925 tickets sold)
    4. Pink ($87.9M gross; 624,419 tickets sold)
    5. Ariana Grande ($82.6M gross; 700,053 tickets sold)
    6. Jonas Brothers ($81.7M gross; 769,310 tickets sold)
    7. KISS ($81.6 M gross; 800,302 tickets sold)
    8. Fleetwood Mac ($77.5M gross; 544,286 tickets sold)
    9. Garth Brooks ($76.1M gross; 856,000 tickets sold)
    10. Justin Timberlake ($75.6M gross; 568,449 tickets sold)

    On top of all of that they continue to make millions annually from merchandise (having more than a billion dollars in merch sales over their career).

    They aint no meatloaf.

    Actually I have a place ready to go in the 50 years member section.

    The point is that calling it by stats is why David King gets it wrong so often.

    I'm intuiting from what I've seen watching live as well as on Kayo 

    Both teams..the advantage of MCC membership. 

    I may be completely wrong of course

    When do the teams get released?

    Perhaps, but my other intuition is that they were short DeGoey and several others( yeah Daicos I know) and two theoretically equal sides tend to trade victories.

    I know Pies fans who are nervous about this game .

    Hopefully it is good entertainment 

    Will we get the teams friday i guess

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.
