    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.

    BLAKEY   HAMLING   FLORENT

    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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
