Red But Mostly Blue

Danger should miss time (next year) for that dive. Cost us a goal, too. Filthy.

Wow, Dangerfield is pretty precious.

I'd love a quick one now just to remind them that they're getting nowhere near us tonight. Put out any flames before they even get the chance to flicker.

Geez they're lucky we've missed a few.

I know there's a of gametime left... ... But I love that we're doing this to the Cats

KOZZZZIIIIEE! Woweeeee 🔥

Silky from ANB. Geez he's looked good.

He has had a great month, taking his opportunity, looking great!

Still holding hope for May!? We don't need a defence if we keep kicking goals, so maybe not too big an issue haha

Hawkins got that he deserved.

Cats look rattled. Love it.

Goals from guys we need firing tonight! What a goal from ANB!

Honestly... No matter what, I just want us to believe, have a real crack and play our brand of footy tonight. Give no quarter. I would hate to lose to the cats more than anyone else, especially if Selwood gets away with some of his usual crap/one of our boys accidentally land on Hawkins' elbow, but if we lose, we know that we have changed the course of this amazing club FOREVER. This group is set up for a long time. In saying that, it's obviously a great opportunity and I think we'll win this by 29. Heart beats true. Let's go, boys! ❤️

I have got a couple of bucks on Dogga

Same here! Haha I'll feel a lot better about it if we win though!

Umm, I guess the same guys (and hopefully more) that kicked all those goals against them last time? 4 headed monster? What's the inbreeding got to do with anything???!

Optus Stadium full - and not full of ferals*!!! *Well, I can't say that with any certainty, but at the least it's a neutral game for locals, so they won't need to bully the umps into any shambolic decisions. Plus, it's against Geelong, and I doubt there will be many non MFC supporters going for the Cats. So they're ok with me. Today.

VERY true - looking forward to being on the right side of that Tyson wisdom.

I would love this. A total flip on 2018 - and a (further) reminder to the league that we have well and truly arrived. (Plus another 2021 Cats scalp - 3 ways to skin a cat in a year)

The opening 5 minutes of this game are going to be very interesting. Did Scott keep a surprise tactical move or two up his sleeve for an inevitable finals clash? Did we save one as well? Did we show them too much in R23? It shouldn't matter. Our best is better than their best. And the geriatrics are surely running out of legs. We win if we apply pressure from the first bounce, give them nothing, take our chances etc. But nonetheless, those first few minutes will be riveting. If we kick a few, I'll feel better and feel less like hurling.

Hypothetically, If I vommed, and some of the vom landed in the shape of demon horns - - - - is that good/bad??

Welcome!! (And thank you for the considerate nature of your thoughts in light of the lockdown(s)). Enjoy tonight, sounds like we'll be well represented over there! :-)

On a slightly different note, at this time in pretty much every other year this century (i.e. aside from 2000 and 2018, ugh) we'd still be dissecting the year and once the rage has subsided, planning/dreaming for the next year. This is quite refreshing, and definitely a different feeling to 2018. We're entering this game as favourites (which makes me sick), but at least it's off the back of a really solid, even year where we finally broke through a number of mental barriers, statistics etc. There has been a real momentum and belief that we haven't seen for a very long time. Beating Geelong 3 times in a year? Do we dare dream? We do - go Dees!

While we won some good games in 2018, we also lost a fair bit. We were shakier. Sure, we lost a few this year we shouldn't have but we always refocused and sturdied ourselves. A lot of that comes down to a MUCH better list, but also better coaches and help for Goody, and the big one - belief. There has been a shift in culture that has been decades overdue. 2018 means nothing. Win or lose (I think we will win, but if we beat the cats 3 times in a year I know not allowed to ask Santa for anything this year, other than maybe the GF?) we will continue to write this new chapter of this amazing club.

Cats back on the menu? Great, we're coming back for thirds!
