I'm not sure I understand your first point. Are you saying the top 2 will get to choose where they play finals? That is absolutely not how it works. The AFL will tell us where we are playing. And your second point is weirdly antagonistic for some reason. I agree winning breeds confidence and self belief. Yes, I have played a substantial amount of sport in my life.

I feel like people say this about every game. Realistically the last 3 games are about securing top 4 and building our form. We don't really find out if we're pretenders or not until the finals.

Pretty relaxed about this game. We only need one win to secure top 4 and we're not playing any home finals anyway so top two pretty irrelevant. I also genuinely reckon we're the best team in the comp and we'll roll this mob comfortably.

It's weird how people say Victoria has too many teams. Victoria has had this many teams, or more, for over a century.

Sure, Geelong down there is tough, but we are one of the best teams in the comp. I reckon we are a red hot chance.

They've won 2 of their last 5 home games, including to North.

Why would beating Geelong in rnd 23 be a "miracle of miracles"?

16 wins is actually our most wins in a home and away season ever. So if we win two of the last three we've broken our record.

This was before my time, but the most amazing thing about this game is that we won the next week!

That 1990 finals series was I think probably my first memory of being at the footy.

Realistically the late 80s/early 90s dees were very good and had a lot of heart, but ultimately didn't have the talent to go all the way.

This is the most important question.

Caro put dogs, Bris, Geelong and port ahead of us for the flag this week. No other contender has got anywhere us.

We are the only contender not to lose to another contender. That's not going to change tonight. CARN THE DEES!!

I hate Gary Moorcroft. So flat when he came to us. The only goal he kicked was a mung from a free kick that he played for.

The ticket companies have been garbage for years. It's unsurprising their systems are creaking under the pressure of changing government restrictions.

I assume you are referring to me as I was the first person to mention "overconfidence" in this thread. Your post is a pretty substantial misrepresentation of my view. I didn't accuse Collingwood fans of overconfidence and never said we weren't a chance of dropping this game.

Big call. What do you define as a massive slump?

? love their overconfidence. Very Essendon. As I said on another thread, would love to [censored] this mob.

This. Have hated them since the 2000 granny. I've been rapt with the consistent 4 goal wins but I'd love the boys to get some real bloodlust up against this mob.

Have they really got their tails up though? Took until the last minute to break Hawthorn yesterday, allowed the Tigers to kick 7 in the last 10 mins against them the week before, bye the week before that. I except us to hit them with the reality bus.

Think we'll go 2-2 of the four tough ones and drop a silly one giving us 6-3 for the rest of the year.

Well before my time but I thought they used to do it back in the 50s.

Really wish I was going today! Have a great time Sydney Dees!!

Their top end talent is awesome. If they can get their act together they can be a good side.
