Too hot for footy

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.

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

MCCARTIN  RAMPE   LLOYD

BLAKEY   HAMLING   FLORENT

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).

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

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
