Port beat them by 51 points 3 weeks ago

It is quite sad and desperate that we are hanging our hats on who played well in a VFL practice match in the second week of September. How did this all go so wrong?

Only if you pay the extra to get a credit if you cancel

I would say a major miracle

Are you saying I am wrong?

Love it, well said

No, come on, Beelzebub asked a legitimate question, what is your answer to our forward inefficiency? Don’t just brush it off with a throwaway BS line

Except Port won’t win. It is going to take a major upset to not be a Collingwood Brisbane grand final. I cannot see either of GWS or Port beating Collingwood in the prelim, nor can I see Brisbane losing to Carlton.

Don't get me wrong, I was certainly not implying that we aren't tough. And if the Maynard action threw us off guard, return serve. Grundy as a forward isn't the answer, nor is Max. So selecting Grundy would be a huge mistake IMO. But on a warm dry September night we need a big marking forward

Maybe. But if we go in with the same cattle up forward, not only will itbe the last important game of the year, it will be the last, full stop

We were when the betting closed

Geez, I thought Binman was the ultimate optimist

I'm with ya. And find a forward who can clunk a few. And it ain't Max, Grundy or TMac, so who is it?

Yeah, but in the past 3 finals, playing tough hard football hasn't got us anywhere! We cannot go with the same team this week, or it is all over. If you can't see that, I can't help you!

We need to get creative. No point going with TNac and Grundy as forwards. Roll the dice with May forward and possibly Turner. Tomlinson to Curnow, sole job just stop him pack marking. Jordan your time to shine is now, show us that you are a keeper. Petracca back to the middle, all night. The first 30 minutes I want to see someCarlton players on their backsides. Play with some mongrel, don't worry about the consequences should a tackle slip a bit high. Tackle to hurt.

Yes, his name is Christian Petracca

Spot on

We are in big trouble. Straight sets again. I don’t think I could feel any more depressed right now.

Van Rooyen did nothing tonight, so will be no loss. Smith forward, Tomlinson or Turner back. TMac should get another run

What absolute rubbish! We were all over them for probably 70% of that game. They were just cleaner going inside forward 50 on three occasions in the third quarter, that was the game right there. If you cant see that spirit of that last quarter, then hand your membership back pal. A game of moments, that is all it was. They just took theirs we didn’t. Absolutely nothing to do with the coach.

I said earlier in the thread, if we are within a goal at three quarter time, we win this. A definite momentum switch in that quarter. Keep it going Dees, the opportunities will come as they tire.

Collingwood will be manic at the start. We need to withstand that. In front, or close, at three quarter time and we win this. Looks like it is going to be wet, so our small forwards become even more important. No Hollywood handballs. Just shunt it forward. Win ugly Dees.

I have a ticket for Thursday night which I am willing to sell for face value, $78. M4 row D. DM me if interested.

Yep. Was in that crowd behind the goals that night. Never forget it. Had great pleasure pointing the Geelong fans to the exit, payback for the smug aholes in round 1 that same year. Good luck Mitch, you have a moment in Demon history.

If Carlton lose they play Sydney
