    Hombre it’s just not cricket. Too many gringos chasing leather.

    OLD MAN ALERT:

    The team sheet on the MFC site hurts my eyeballs.  Not the players on it - the font, the sizing and the spacing. Took me way longer to figure out who is playing (and where) than is necessary. 

    Hopefully that is my only gripe with the MFC today.

    Not an old man alert (or maybe it is and I’m now an old man). 

    That team sheet graphic is terrible. There’s a great post in the now-closed pre-game thread explaining all the reasons why it’s awful.

    I missed the other post, possibly because my retinas were amidst an acute bout of PTSD caused by our media department

     (and anyone else who was unable to get a ticket yesterday)...  it looks like things are ok now as I just tried again and got my ticket  👍


     

    Thanks JTR, got my ticket.

    Possibly would not have searched again without your prompt.

    Addit, what was the 77 cents to secure the ticket about.

    I had a ticket, they say to upgrade for $8.40 to guarantee entry, then say something about getting it secured (more than 100 did it).

    Funny, I guess if they don't ask! Reminds me of the beggars in Kathmandu.

    Not all that fussed about the result but I want to be walking out of Ikon Park tonight with confidence that we’re ready to hit the ground running against Sydney next Thursday and that we’ll manage ok with a weakened forward line.

    Not only is our forward line not getting any better next week it’s actually getting worse without Kozzie.

    Our forward line are missing a few but I'm still bullish about those we will put out on the paddock. Also reckon Swannies backs are not that good. All depends on the mids. We win the pill and at least deliver it into the forwards a bit better than in the past we will win this.

    It looks like a CFC document.

    Yeah aside from McCartin and Rampey I can’t name another quality Sydney key/tall defender.

    As you said, it will depend on our quality of inside 50 entries and what kind of angle we’re taking our shots from.

    Score prediction lads?

    No Weitering helps us, just very worried about our deliver forward and our composure down back

    They signed Joel Hamling who will fill the void left by P McCartin and they also have Blakey.

    35 and strong northerly winds... wonder what it has to be to call it off

    From a buddy who just arrived at Ikon…

    For those driving to the game, at 5:10pm (now) plenty of parking within metres of Gate 5 (south east corner) on Princes Park Pde (between cemetery and Princes Park).

    It’s gonna be uncomfortable enough for us supporters, I really feel for the players, playing in this stifling heat and it’s just a practice match. Really should’ve been rescheduled.

    Filling fast. 10:1 blues:Dee's ratio 😛. As a brunswegian I know this is hostile territory. 

    Half the players having very chill warmup on royal parade end. Kolt is warming up. Spargs doing media. Player families lining up with the genpop to get in. Weird scenes but good to be here. 

    It is still stupidly hot outside. Why didn't they push back the start time when they saw the forecast? They moved the time of a Brisbane game.

    Anyone sign up for a digital membership? Wondering how long it takes to get the Kayo code sent.

     

    Getting ready for all the comments about our poor disposal 

    a lot of bandaging on Maxys knee. what's that about.

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
