I just checked Mt Buller and it's looking sad. The forecast doesn't look good so whaddaya know we may see a Deluge of Discoveries parked up around the precinct and a Bevy of Boat Shoes at the Royal pre game. 80k locked in? There's no excuse not to go if you're within distance of the G.

Great point. I'd rather play Collingwood x 2, despite the risk of losing, than the Bulldogs (what is it, 3 weeks apart LOL) or the Saints or Suns

Great precis. I haven't seen enough Casey, or Pedersen in defence, but I think you're right. From what I have seen, in this order, Smith, Wagner, Weid. Weid could be an inspired choice. He has had game time this year and may not be overawed. Can't recall what big games Wagner and Smith played last / this year but it's going to be nerve wracking.

Follow the money given the extraordinary money spent on TV rights the broadcasters need ROI and unfortunately that means eyeballs. Until now, not us as others have said they need to show dees V other big games it's not just vic though - in northern NSW we often don't get any AFL broadcast whilst 7s 35 digital channels are showing ice truckers Canada, ice truckers Alaska, navel gazers Costa Rica and pimp my ride hoppers crossing.either that or we have the freo Carlton blockbuster on prime time whilst there's a much better option. So much for growing the game outside vic by either showing pus games or no games so it's not just the draw but what games are broadcast on Collingwood I am fine alternating with them starting 2020 so next year we have home on QBW and away on Anzac eve and switch them thenceforth. as others have said CFC will have to give a Friday game up - maybe Carlton can be slung out of one of their 50 Friday night games you have got to hand it to Eddie - he does what he is paid to do and does it wrll

I seem to recall Harms having some great intercepts against the Dogs? We're all forgetting we have some guns and as much as we're worrying about missing Lever and maybe Smith (notwithstanding we have some solid replacement options), I think Buckley et al will not be unperturbed by having to stop Brayshaw, Oliver, Hogan, Tmac, Viney, Melk, Fritsch, Spargo etc etc. I mean come on, we have some guns Going to be a big game Inlaws + wife all pies. Fortunately after R23 last year they did not mention the game or us missing out at all. They also don't eat porridge or Kraft singles and FIL (father in law) and BIL have serious taste in single malts and red so mayhaps they're closest Demons fans LOL

Great post. Agree with others above re: what we will do. Likely: Collingwood - Win / Port (Away) - Loss/ Saints - Win / Freo - Win / Dogs - Win / Cats (away) - Loss / Crows - (Away) Loss / Suns - Win / Swans - Loss / Eagles (away) - Loss / Giants - Win But the way we're playing, it could very very feasibly be as below - remembering we stole the WCE win at Subiaco last year and flogged the Crows at AA and we're a better team this year (even without Lever). Collingwood - Win / Port (Away) - WIN / Saints - Win / Freo - Win / Dogs - Win / Cats (away) - Loss / Crows - (Away) WIN / Suns - Win / Swans - WIN (yes, this could happen) / Eagles (away) - Loss / Giants - Win Of course, as MFC supporters with MFCSS we know it could easily go like this Collingwood - Loss/ Port (Away) - Loss / Saints - Loss / Freo - Loss / Dogs - Loss / Cats (away) - Loss / Crows - (Away) Loss / Suns - Loss (by 100 points) / Swans - Loss / Eagles (away) - Loss / Giants - Loss

Yep - and still cracked 100

I love doing dad things for the Carlton game my son insisted on bouncing on the tramp so I had game streaming on Foxtel app on iPad outside tramp and just a kept checking

Surreptitious checking of afl app. If you're on Telstra, stream live in afl app and duck off the loo every 5 mins "must be the cupcakes love"

Quick josh go have a spin around the tan who ever drinks VB - it's rubbish (game day thread devolves into beer skirmish before 6am - only at Melbourne )

Pretty realistic stuff from those supporters unlike the fantasy land Carlton supporters pre 109

Forget how good they were back then, team of guns and gun team. Yze's kick to Jeffrey, just pin point. White domination. Crazy.

i was at that game. every final except GF in 2000 IIRC, epic

If he wins a flag this year, he has to ask himself what is the probability of the Weagles going back to back, especially considering Demon trajectory. On the balance of Pr, I would pull the escape pod and head to Demonland to win 2 in a row

Yep, really. That narrows down the field of probably sources considerably (by 50%). Now, does anyone have a list of every male connected to Gaff and the Demons (somehow) by let's say 2 degrees of separation and work backward. It should only be about 25000 people.

Was at a wake yesterday and the talk of everyone was how good Melbourne are. RFC, Pies, Cats supporters all - MFC look like winning a flag on current form. No one had a bad word to say, just that is was great to see, it's been so long and they're playing frighteningly well.

That's why I just make it all up mate and use approximations. Because I have no idea but you can at least get where I am coming from.

Didn't someone say on here the other day that the salary cap per club increases by 2M p.a. from 2019? That could accommodate an uplift in Tmac, Brayshaw and Gaff. Let's aay 750-800 gaff, +200 p.a. for Tmac + 200 p.a. for Brayshare that leaves 600k P.a. for the rest of the group. Would that provide a CPI lift for everyone? Not sure what the base is.

You know what? This doesn't bother me. Haters gonna hate and if the media continues its beat down, it's just fuel for the team.

Because beating number 4 on the ladder and last year's grand finalist by 91 points in Alice Springs isn't a big scalp. I'm not footy expert, but what silly comment (not by you, by him)

Yar. Beating 9-18 by lots is 4-6 pt game. Jusssst losing to top 4-6 is -2 pts. Beating top 4 is worth +6. I literally just made that up and it makes no sense so please enjoy This has been another nonsensical post by tim brought to you by our station sponsors Sapporo

May as well put my Demons beanie on at the GC airport just to let everyone know what's what

This. Expectations management. Smash the teams we are supposed (on track), beat some not expected to (mixed but yes). If we can smash dogs and pies I think the real test is port @ AA and swans at G. Maybe cats at category too. Weagles. Big markers.

Clearly Goodwins plan is to build an impenetrable unassailable redoubt of percentage - think guns of Navarone x 1000000 - then lose the expected ones - think WCE etc - maybe one were expected to win - cone into finals under cloud then sweep all before us by winning every final by 90 points Bravo sir

Carey sounds like he has MFCSS. Who did he barrack for in nappies? [censored] Adelaide by 91 and still not good enough? What a dullard
