This is me every single week and has been for the past seven or so years. Hot tip: it doesn’t always work. No amount of $ can make up for a loss. 😢

I thought you would be the one who runs out and gives the player a bum rub even when not needed

Downed this just before I left home…

 

Then realised I’ve got another two in my bag and cans aren’t allowed in so right now I’m outside the G smashing another two (don’t judge me). I’ll be the one pingin’ off the walls tonight, win or lose 😂

A drunk red head at the game. GET WCW ON THE GROUND! 
 

We have needed some grunt and anger on field in recent weeks. 
 

WCW to get 200 pressure points in the first 10 minutes on her own, then sub her out afterwards. She will tire quickly…

We must win. That is all.

But looking forward to seeing what Brown does and koltyn hopefully contributes

The roos' pressure and contest has been good, but they lack the fitness to maintain it for four quarters.

I doubt we'll be fully wound up, but the roos are coming of a six day break and we're coming off a bye.

I think the roos will either come out flat, or come up out with good intensity but fade.

Dees by 43 points.

I thought you said North at the line looked good?

I find myself unable to stop rueing the Petty, Melksham and Brayshaw injuries at the end of last year. I reckon we'd be holding a second Cup and sitting comfortably inside the top 4 right now had those 3 never got injured. Instead the Pies are holding another Cup, Brayshaw has retired, Petty is a shadow and Melksham hasn't fired a shot. So tonight I sit and watch a game against and up and coming young team and can't decide whether i care more about 2024 or about the draft for 2025. Then there's the salt being ground into my wounds by watching Grundy and JJ ripping it up for the top team who can't buy an injury and are flying, Dane Swan's in the HOF and Carlton and Essendon are both above us. Sheesh that's some depressing football mood right there.

For those in the Eastern suburbs travelling in by train tonight, heads up that buses are replacing trains on the Lilydale line. Go Dees.

Those words that true Melbournians hate to hear. Buses are replacing trains on the …..line and the umpire for todays game is Matthew Nicholls

Which is why I don't bet on dees games.

Also on the Sunbury line.

Just for a laugh after the results so far this round it is possible that a reasonable win tonight could be worth as much as six spots on the ladder and likely five. Going ahead of Geelong, Port, Footscray, Brisbane, one of the Dockers or Suns, and if things get really bloody, Western Sydney.

Wild times.

We need to be brutal at the contest today. Enough is enough. 

It'd be more helpful to focus on skill, not brutality.

A good reminder of one thing we call agree on - the ladder doesn't lie.

You are truly a Demonland Treasure.

I'm nominating you for MFC Life Membership 🍾🥂

JVR for 5 and Kossie for 3... and Melbourne to kick 10 goals 15.

Brown sub.

Didn’t think we’d see a newbie be sub for their first game but here it is  

[gs77 4,252]

[censored] you Footy Dept debuting Kynan Brown as sub. The folder of ****ful selection decisions in the past few years is starting to burst at the seams.

Nah HQ always had the Pies winning. They would have found another way.

[Heart Beats True 1,233]

Brown as sub really doesn’t sit right with me. I think this is a very poor move by the footy department.
