I see Carlton and can't stop thinking that's where the filth should be in the ladder, whereabouts. Both teams have similar percentage, started hot earlier in the season with a new coach. As someone has said before Collingwood is a statistical anomaly, anomalies don't win premierships.

Well we've got ourselves a nice opportunity next week to recover from this week's loss. Carlton will be deflated and missing some key players (Cripps included). Collingwood plays against Sydney so we could see Collingwood fall from grace next week if they loss, due to their miserable percentage, they could fall to 5th? Then just one last game to decide our fate against Brisbane at the Gabba. MFC can be sitting 2nd, 3rd , 4th or 5th at the end of it. Still a lot to play for!

It makes you wonder where's everybody that attended those 2018 finals games? Our supporters should be more confident and bullish about the team this year than back then.

Don't know, it feels more like psychological and structural/strategy issues for me. One thing is clear some of our leaders have let our team down in critical moments when the pressure was up.

Pies are dogs, just look at their "role models": Ginivan 🤮 Cox 🤮🤮🤮 Even Pendlebury acted like one last night and I always thought of him as one of the most decent players in that mob. De Goey (indicted in the US for Assault) 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Yeah I saw that too, I think it was the dog called Mason Cox who kicked his hand in the second term.

We got nothing to lose by bringing JVR in. At the very least he's an unknown player and opposition defenders won't pay too much attention to him. He could potentially feast on smaller defenders and open spaces, while the tall defenders worry only about BBB and Fritta. Perhaps the same reason Bowey worked last year in our run to finals.

And even then he was almost caught, I was biting my nails until I saw the ball being kicked

Nah, they are flat track bullies. Very quiet until they gained momentum in the third. We do need to be more loud though, but I think at moments we were. Specially in the 4th, trying to rally the boys to a victory.

He is not completely wrong. The umpires kept them in the game in the first half, granted our goal kicking deficiency too. There was also a goal that came from Ginivan dropping the ball, what the F**K is that?!

Cox is a dog Ginivan a [censored] Their supporters are the worst Kozzy, why did you have to kill the momentum? What happened to our mid field in the 2nd half?

I see players asking for the ball but our players seem to be blind to that, just keep bombing it!

We are killing them, should be 6 or 7 goals up. We have wasted too many inside 50 and they get too many lucky goals. We've got this if we keep playing like this.

And with all your teeth! 😂

It looks like the rain will be minimal for the rest of the evening. I hope people change their minds, there's still time to get to the G'

On the train now, Sunbury line. It's pretty empty for a Friday night regardless of the footy. How's all the other trains looking like?

Hopefully the Saints do the impossible and beat the old cats 😬. Another Carlton loss would be nice too

Just as the Short Shadows song goes.... WOOOOHOOOO HERE COME THE DEES! C'mon Dees army let's crush those pies tonight!

We have 65k members, that should be enough to get us to around 50k. The rest is up to Pies coming on the day, which they will. I expect no less than 75k, but hope for 80k+. When was the last time we played in front of 80k+? Probably 2018 finals.

All I want for this game is no more obnoxious and pedantic opposition supporters in the corporate suites behind me. I had bad experiences in the Freo and Sydney games. Can't stand a loud mouth Pies supporter for the whole game!

Count me in! I'll be there after missing the last 4 weeks. My better half will be there too although she is not as loud as I am 😬

Looks like a botched racing track!

Are we thinking 80k+ on the day?

Seems like the broken finger has stalled Oliver's season. I hope he can regain his full form and take the Coaches' and Brownlow home!
