It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

I'm tired of being the Lions' bunnies. Dreaming of another 60+ win against them but more realistically hoping we win - even if only by a point.  Carn ya red legs!!  ❤💙

It would be so good to knock these arrogant sun-soaked tools off at their dilapidated [censored]-heap of a ground.

Couldn’t have put it better myself!

Belief and confidence… and lots of it.

WE CAN DO THIS!!!

Us by a Gus (10pts)

YEAH THE MIGHTY [censored] DEES!

Unfortunately Melbourne coaches and recruiters didn’t understand the importance of having a deep midfield. 

Brisbane have 10 players that are capable of playing on ball. Dees are lucky to have 5. 
 

they will run rings around us by shear force of numbers. Unfortunately we are 3-4 midfielders off being a decent side 

This will be a great challenge especially for the youngsters. Good luck to AMW.

And I hope we win just to give a big F U to all the misery around here lately.

Hear, Hear! I’m with you on this, Zephs!!!

If we win, the big F U might have to wait since the mob of sad-arzes won’t be here coz, well…a win.

If we win I’ll be the first in the postgame thread to celebrate 🎉

If we lose, I’m gonna put a massive bunch of space between me and Demonland coz, well… a loss 😢

GO DEES!!!!

GIVE ‘EM HELL!

❤️💙

 

Good luck, Monners! 🤞🏽 

Well I'm not holding out any hope. 

But for gods sake petty and fritsch do something tonight.

Happy to see lever back though 

I'm quietly confident we will lift to the occasion and win a hard fought, gritty and at times spiteful clash against a key rival which we will build on through to September. Bring our contest and pressure and we are a very difficult team to play against.

$5.80? That is crazy. Will be getting some of that.

Hoping to put in our best performance since the St Kilda game and keep the margin very respectable. A win is unlikely for a number of reasons.

However, win next week and there’s a scenario or two that would have us in the 8 at the end of round 17, or at the very least on the borderline.

Moving day. play well (win or close loss) and the commentary may lighten up on us a bit.  ( some here might lighten up on each other, too!(

It’s the start of the ‘backend of the season’ stretch.  I think we have set ourselves for this one.

Keys:  Match them in contest and clearance  = dont allow massive clearance goal scores like they did against Geelong.

          Contested in their 50 - slow their transitions and make joe the goose play outside of the 50 for his touches 

         Pressure over 190 all game

        Score at least 85 points.

This is the start of the next phase of the season, AMW to get a look in as part of his development, not sure we can play as tall as listed (?Late change?)

 

W .   Go Dees!

Still not confident of a win, very much the other way. But Lever back in solidifies the backs a bit. I see Tmac giving Max. Rest swinging forward it back where needed. 
so perhaps it will not be a 50 point loss, with the back line working.

Monners in for pup   I am disappointed but if they knew it might happen, not concerned re development.

our mids will need to work better. Rivers to stay, he looked a natural in that position. I hope Sparra can come good. Viney is doing too much. And max, hit it to our blokes. 
our forwards is why I think we will lose ,  

JvR to stay on the ground the whole game, fritta and petty do something.

and Kossy cause mayhem just run anywhere and get clear. If no one else is contesting the mark. Go for it !

Go Dee’s   35-40 pints I think.

Someone ( anyone) to wipe out Zorko would be pleasant

If nothing else, this year’s AFL competition has shown that anything can happen on any given day.  Maybe the ‘Footy Gods’ will be smiling on us for a change ……. after all, it must be our bloody turn!  Dees by 3 points.

Do they think we are Nth Melbourne?  I hope someone shows the players that and asks them to show the footy world what they think of that level of disrespect.

Perhaps Sparra to run with Zorko ?

Chin with Ashcroft . 
If Oliver tagged too heavily swap him with Kossy.    Is there a plan C or D ?

Just have a crack lads.

Imagine the minds blown if we can pull this off haha. Media wouldn’t know where to rate us anymore (to be fair I wouldn’t know either) 

 

Fritta and Petty do something. Sparrows time to lift.

I have the belief that the situation up in Brisbane is the same as in Port.

Wasted great lists and home ground advantage for years, and the coach could be sacked soon due to lack of finals success. Although Fagan has more credit because at least they got to a GF unlike Port.

I do hope we can contribute to that this week 🤞🏻.

Let's go out there and win!

Give Clarry the support he needs and make give AMW a debut to remember! 

Odds are against us but we can do it, go Dees!

Just arrived in Brisbane and rolled into the Sofitel only to turn around and see myself staring at someone's crotch.

Max is unnaturally tall...

Go Dees?
