Yes, the weather forecast is getting worse as we approach the day of the game.

    His Brother Josh.  

    May I add from the vision they are showing there is no way he is playing.

    Every time I look, the weather forecast for Thursday gets crappier and crappier.  Not good.

    Since I last looked the temp has gone up 2 degrees to 19 now. The 90% chance of rain might not be that cold.

    Spargo is firming as a possible selection in place of TMac in my opinion. (assuming wet/greasy conditions) Looking windy as well. Not great for our high forward bombs

    Pity that Schache hasn't come on.

     

    I read this a lot about our high bombs. Are we still doing this? I don’t think so.

    Good. Play players who are not 100% fit and see what happens.

    AA TEAM   just now i bothered to have a look at it.

    Hilarious. 2 St.kilda players in the backline.  I'd back in the  Dees backline ahead of that lot  in big games. WTF would Aints know.

    The obssession with Bulldogs and Saints players over the years is mind boggllng. The Bont excluded.

    Without Fritsch Melbourne FC could become the first team to win a flag without a  forward line.

    It could happen.

    This post may be written in jest, but I really don't like it. Cox wears his glasses to stop him from going blind from another eye injury. It's OK not to like him, but let's not wish him a serious, life-changing injury.

    Well then tell him not to ride his knees into Gawn's back at every opportunity

    I hope he plays. He will last about 3 minutes.

    We’re 0-5 in the wet this year.

    What’s that saying that if you throw a bunch of darts at the board… 

    Weirdly, we only played 1 wet game last year and actually won it (Freo-rd 20)

    So N Daicos started running today and will be playing a critical final 4 nights later.

    Righto.

    If the weather forecast doesn’t change I’m going to put money on the Pies. I just don’t think we have enough good ball users to take smart options and try and hit up targets in the wet. It’s a real risk that we’ll revert to bombing it in and get caught on the rebound with chaos ground ball that Elliott and the like will love.

    Pies have officially ruled him out now.

    As I said based on the running there is no way he is playing. quarter pace and could not change direction.

    The boys won’t care how wet it is. In the first 8 weeks of 2021 we played in the rain about 4-5 times and won them all.
    This season we’ve lost a couple of close ones in the wet and some of our best footy came in the pouring rain during the third quarter of the Port game where we piled on 7 goals. 
    Us being no good in the rain is a little overblown I think.

    The Alice Spring game was the worst.

    Predicted score had us wining by 5 goals that day.

    Oh yeah, forgot about that one. A squillion 50 entries for 5 goals. Was thinking Port and Carlton only.

    I was about to post the same thing. How do you reckon the Pies run and carry goes on the wet? We’re about to grind out 3 wins and take home the Flag. Rain ain’t stopping that.

    What’s the minimum amount of time it has to rain during a game to constitute a ‘wet’ match? It rained during the Richmond game later in the year and we won that. Are you counting gather round in your 0-5? 
    That loss had nothing to do with the rain. It was obvious from the first ten minutes we weren’t covering the ground well at all.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
