He will go to North if he does leave. Pies don't have the currency unless we accept futures.

He chained up all their wives. Why does he have to be there?

Big game for me personally, i have a brother who is a mad lions supporter and i'd much rather not have to hear his annoying cheering and gloating. Key strength for the Lions is there midfied. Obviously this lines up with a strength of ours. I'm nervous about this as this will likely swing the game either way and i don't think a great midfield should get soundly beaten like we have on occassions this year. Key points to focus on from the game earlier in the season. Pickett targeted Rich all night. Nullified what was a great weapon in his long kick by pressuring every disposal. Their on ball bigrade really went quiet after half time (they all still managed 23-28 touches each). Hipwood, who isn't going to play this time around, kicked 1.4. Sort of kept us in it early. Zac Bailey, we didn't really have an answer for. Salem was the main guy on him but didn't have the pace to stop him on the break. Daniher gassed really badly. The famous clip of that team goal off half back happens because Daniher basically walked with his arms stretched in attempt to stop his opponent from running off him. We need to be on it for all 4 quarter this time around. We won't get 2nd chances this time around. I think our defence is more than capable of holding up but i do have concerns on the Bailey and Cameron match ups. Jackson and Gawn have to expose their ruck situation. We have the biggest ruck weapons of all 8 teams, Brisbane probably have a decent ruckman by the standards of some of the other top 8 teams. So we need to lay down a marker and get future opponents worried.

re-watch the game from earlier in the season, they already tried this. Stopped working once umpires paid attention. Doubt it, AFL does not care about Neutral grounds or any kind of advantage. They make it up as they go, Brisbane got the benefit of playing every game at Gabba last year...

I've always liked the MFC logo below. The only problem i have is i have an arm which will give a tattoo artist nightmares (very skinny). I suppose i can get it on my forehead. Also, i don't think a simple MFC would look nice on it's own. Needs something to go with it.

Rivers?!?! Kid is a gun, how many kids you see slot into the best defence in the league and play as consistenly as him? If Rivers wanted to leave, i'd want a HIGH first round pick for him at the minimum.

People telling Charlie to stop ducking when he's gotten us a fair few goals by doing it. If Charlie Spargo ducks and wins a free kick, that turns into a goal to win us a Grand Final i'll call in to Melbourne radio and tell everyone complaining to suck [censored] and praise be to the short blonde stallion that is Charlie Spargo.

Wouldn't break the bank for him. While he probably offers the outside ability we need, we have 1 too many midfielders currently + no picks and a tight cap.

As much as it's nice for Trac to say it's for the fans, the players should soak it up. Us fans have had some brilliant wins this season to saviour already and we are all desperate for a flag. This group has turned around in 12 months to go from an inconsistent, one way running unit to the undisputed best team of the H/A season. That's an incredible achievement, one that is going unnoticed in the media. The players needed to win that game for themselves as a reward for the work they've put in. Now they need to take this feeling and turn it into hunger to get the ultimate prize. Drought breaking premiership players will see them all immortialized no matter what they go and do from here on out. Guys like Gawn, Trac, Oliver will likely go down as all time greats of our club if they bag this. But guys like Petty, Smith and Sparrow who found themselves in a position to go down as heroes and then the new kids like Kozzi, Jackson, Rivers and Bowey all can be premiership players within 2 years of debuting.

Maynard would take the spot Smith currently holds you would think (which was Hibbo's and Jetta's prior).

I love the royal blue jumper, i think it's the perfect away shirt. If we got to a granny and were in royal blue, i wouldn't care in the slightest because i'll be there in my royal blue jumper.

I know there is a lot of talk about the grounds currently, but bringing the focus to the potential matchups and the weapons each team has i think i should highlight a segment from 360. The King and Montagna segment, Montagna reckons the 'striker' midfield forwards will be the difference. Petracca is the best overall from all the stats pulled of the 8 players they pulled from current top 8 teams. Then King says he thinks the intercept defender is the key. Lever is #1 and #2 in the two catergories they used. I've already seen it mentioned how we are #1 in basically all terms of without the ball and defending. This is really our chance.

It's not really an option is it? Also, i think we play well at that ground anyway. We certainly have a better record than most clubs despite the odd thumping.

pick the narrowest ground possible

I've taken some inspiration from this thread. I'd definetly get a high quality poster framed of the iconic moment. Would have to get the jumper for next year so i can have the gold logo, i did it when Liverpool won the league. Other than that, i already pay for a membership, purchased a proud to give jumper and dropped 200$ as a bonus donation.

He's taken a bit of a confidence knock, think around the Brisbane game he looked brilliant. Then Goody took him out the game and we had that bad patch (not saying that's because Sparrow wasn't playing). When we need some physicality he is one of the first guys i look to which is saying a lot considering some of the guys in this team.

Even though i never put much stock in what Journo's said, but our cap is meant to be pretty tight. We'd have to lose a fair few players surely? Also we lack currency currently and i imagine the club want Mac Andrew in above any free agent we can realistically nab.

Not having any Harmes defending tonight. Who was he tagging tonight? because it didn't seem like he was close to anyone. Watch Bont's two plays in the last quarter and look who is standing next to him when the game got restarted. Now Harmes isn't the sole reason we lost, fair few passengers tonight. Also [censored] poor infront of goal again. Exact same scoring shots and yet it felt like we were only in it for about 10 whole minutes tonight.

Sparrow must have parked in Goodys spot. How he is racking up games as a sub when James Harmes continues to stagnate bewilders me.

It's [censored] hilarious the luck the dogs have had with the draft and (under previous rules) fairly playing the system. And don't get me started on the Swans. Apart from Viney this is our first player who we've actually got ties to as a club and they change the rules on us the very season he's eligible for the draft. No, i'm not implying a consiparcy against us but [censored] me do we draw the short straw a lot. Can't wait for F/S to be removed right before one of White's boys comes thru.

Stupid, just give everyone their Bye now and be done with it.

OUT: Langdon IN: Sparrow Push Nibbler to the wing.

Agreed, for all the times i've critised him this season and last his game was brilliant tonight. I hope for more of it. Lever B.O.G for me being mindful i missed the first quarter.

In hindsight, the Brown out was a bad decision. He went to the two's and did the less then Weid did against the Crows. Lockhart for Jetta is the only one up for grabs, just hope Viney and Salem are fit.
