Roost it far

If if this turns out to be true I’ll be very happy. Gawn has both well covered and if Cox is there to bring is faux tough guy shtick then it’ll provide just more entertainment on the night.

We’re all scared of losing. It’ll be a nightmare. Picture yourself at the ground with the Collingwood chant ringing out as DeGoey bursts out of the centre and kicks truly from 60, putting the game out of our reach. It’s just you in a sea of filth frothing and singing and cheering. There’s 1000’’s of them, all of them delirious and laughing at you with those toothless smiles. Mocking you and your team as the final seconds tick by, you clinging to the forlorn hope that the boys can kick 5 goals in 90 seconds…..The siren sounds, the crowd erupts as spittle and froth fly through the air and the song starts…………. This is what keeps me awake at night.

It’s pretty clear that the media completely made up the story over Fritsch’s foot. He kicked 5 and ran out the game. He’s had the best part of 2 weeks off. In what world wouldn’t he be playing?

Why Kiss FFS?? There are literally 100’s of Australian Bands I’d prefer to see. The AFL are lucky the product is so good otherwise it’d be bust.

Lobb's a spud, I'd happily take Lynch for $700K for 2 years

They did have Nick Daicos and a far better formline though

GWS didn’t adapt better, by any metric we beat them. We kicked for goal woefully and that lost us the game.

Good to see you’re finally on the job full time.

Let’s not all get nasty. No one wants it to rain, Collingwood are no better in the wet than us. I actually don’t think it’ll rain on Thursday night so it’s likely a moot point. I had a mate called Proven so I think it’s a proper noun.

They’d still lose

I was about to post the same thing. How do you reckon the Pies run and carry goes on the wet? We’re about to grind out 3 wins and take home the Flag. Rain ain’t stopping that.

I doubt he’s leaving????

We'll send Viney over

Well then tell him not to ride his knees into Gawn's back at every opportunity

Jeez, I'm super pumped. We really should win this quite comfortably but Collingwood never lie down and their supporters will be at fever pitch. Better bring the A game. Does Goodwin have a couple of barely seen tricks up his sleeve or even something new? How do we stop Moore, Quaynor and Murphy from intercepting our forward movements? Will Fritsch's foot stand up? How big a loss is Melksham? Tmac and/or Grundy if Cox is teaming up with Cameron? Is Bailey Laurie the Jake Bowey of 2023? Are Collingwood or Brisbane are biggest threat for the flag? Is Grundy jumping ship without really giving the Gawndy experiment enough time to flourish? (I think he is)

I liked the Grundy deal but we needed them to work at it for longer than 6 months!

If Grundy is so committed then why is he talking to other clubs about moving? He's given up on the Demons in less than a year. You might have a different meaning too committed but he's jumping ship at the first failure. Why not spend the off season working really bloody hard to make it work and then hit 2024 at full tilt. No, I'd rather go elsewhere where I can be number 1. Committed, my asre!

It's the vibe he gave, I won't miss him.

Our forward line next year will be Petty, JVR, Fritsch, Smith, Pickett, Chandler, Spargo, ANB, Laurie, AMW,.....it's very very strong Our defence will be May, Lever, Rivers, McVee, Turner, Salem, Bowey, Howe, Our midfield will be Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Petracca, Brayshaw, Sparrow, Langdon, Hunter, Woewodin, Add to this list some high draft picks and as long as we can keep Gawn and May on the park or learn to cover them we're in a very strong position.

Yes but when the going got tough what happened.

He never felt like a Melbourne player to me. Never seemed like he really cared.

I don’t think they will start the game as favourites…..most believe the Dee’s will win. I’d say the money will end up on us

We’re as in we are…..C’mon Champ, minimum standards

The same feeling is what scares me. The Pies are great underdogs

I doubt Hibberd plays
