Can’t we just say “Or lose”????
 

I'm angling for a job at Fox Footy and practicing my click baiting skills.

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. 

Misery loves company so let's win and make it a hermit.

Max is unnaturally tall...

I am guessing you are 5 foot 6"?

Go Dee’s   35-40 pints I think.

How many pints in a point?

[praha 10,575]

Now out to $5.50.

More a reflection of Brisbane's form or ours? I reckon we'd be rank outsiders at the MCG as well.

Game day baby. Pumped!

We all know it’s either a small win or massive loss.

If Fritta and Clarry can get going, it’s on baby.

Go Dees. Rip ‘em a new one.

Let’s be honest we will be lucky to win a centre clearance against the Brisbane midfield.

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.

You mean the umpiring gods?

Just keen to see the new kids get more game time really, it's all development which is good, a win would be a real treat but just happy to see kids getting a go.

Is this a drinking game?

Drink 6 pints for every behind we score?

I would certainly be done by first quarter time.

[Fritta and Turner 3,900]

Getting nervous

Happy Andy Moniz Wakefield day to those who celebrate

[Wells 11 5,007]

I’d forgotten how good the game day thread is so many hours before the game. I feel optimistic again! … but I won’t be revisiting this page during the game.

Really interested to see what Fritsch's attitude is like this week, reckon it was really poor last outing.

He’s using reverse psychology — he think we’re a chance I rkn 🤩🤩🤩

[Tolstoys Nudge 1,375]

I honestly have belief for tonight — Roos game I always had a danger game vibe, but for whatever reason, tonight with Lever back, I have a genuine feeling we’re gonna take it to them. Sure, we could completely capitulate under the weight of our own season, but Lions have a history of being happy with themselves and if I’m right in my expectation our fitness will look much better tonight, we’re 💯 legit chance tonight.
 

Takeaway the North Umpire kickstarted comeback, we’d be about $3 if we’d held-on by 30+ — Add Lever who’s our most important player in terms of when missing, we lose — look up the history — And I think our d50 game is going to be right back to where it was before he got injured & don’t forget he was carrying a knee weeks prior to Freo game. Weird selection with Thommo in for Howes, but again I think that’s cus with Lever we want him completely free to go wherever he likes.. 

AMW HAS TO PLAY and not be sub for mine, really wanna see his composure and assuredness esp with Salo out, but seeing Woey on bench also means it’s 50/50 to which plays as sub.. but I’m gonna say it’s AMW! 
 

I think Petty is most confident he’s been all year and JVR is a problem match-up, I expect a full-blown fwd half game which means taking on Lions head to head in the contested game — where I think we can be hungrier and quicker if we have the legs.

Riv will have to be electric, Clarry will good to avoid Berry tag, or maybe he tags Neale himself — Nibbler and Kolt being used through the middle of the ground as connecting HHF’s & conversion like LW to be excellent!

 

Kos to slot 3, Fritta 3, Petty 2, Chandler 2 — Dees by 11pts to reignite our season.

You should always endeavour to keep your nose out of other people's business.

Instead of guzzling pints of beer, try having a sip of brake fluid instead.

The good thing is that you can stop whenever you wish.

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!!  ❤💙

Christy, has Binman brainwashed this many people? 

On what basis do you 'expect' our fitness to look much better? 

Freo, Collingwood, North.. Which one were we 'bouncing' for? 

Or is it this one?

Season defining game

The Forwardline just has to do something tonight. 
Get your sh.. together Demons

On Fox Footy this morning they were replaying highlight packages from previous encounters between Melbourne and the Lions. The one of most interest was the 2021 qualifying final, we moved the ball quickly (not like Collingwood do now but quicker than we do currently) we would take a mark at half back or on the wing and we would turn and go kicking towards CHF before turning and kicking to a less congested fwd line. Our small fwd were at the drop of the ball and our pressure was immense. Anyway that seems like a lifetime ago now…..

What has changed since 2021. Everything was working so well that year in our ball movement. Why did we tinker/regress. Did we become less bold, less risk taking. 

 

i love the optimism some have - wish i could be more like that. BUt i cant see how we come closer than 5 goals. Their forward line is on fire atm and they outclass us in the middle.
