Deebauched

Eagles put up a fight last week. Anything could happen at the gabba but a 30 goal massacre is wishful thinking. Any guess is good enough..75- 100 points. Lions sitting very well already with a strong %.

Watch the membership number pivot and head south big time if we fall off the grid Sat night and rest of season. Membership totals are BS anyway. My brother is a hawks supporter(even had his own box in the GS Stand some years back.) he bought memberships for most of his cousins who never go to the footy. I wouldnt doubt at all if he renews them yearly. Thousands of people would do this especially for birthdays and christmas gifts. GWS and Suns memberships are laughable. Nothing is real any more. It doesnt matter no one cares.

A rest from what ? It'll be a very long rest come September if we lose this one. Lose and its pretty much over when you look at our games coming up this month.

They love Spargo. Dunstan not in the mix again nor JVR. Season on the line on Saturday. BBB needs to kick 3 or 4 in the dry conditions. Oliver done for season?

Are you kidding? We'll be lucky to make the 8 especially now that Oliver is out of action long term. Lions will almost certainly use this game to manage a few players either omitted or rested for long spells on the bench. Lions win by any margin except 30 goals. Eagles would have to stand around like witches hats for that to happen.

We have one of the most disfunctional fwd lines in the comp. I thought they'd clean it up by now. Its getting worse. Forget the 4 now. Every side knows theyre a chance against us. Finals are no guarantee now we' ve thrown 3 games.Need atleast 4 wins with that fwd line? No more f###g Alice Springs home games. Scrap it if you dont want to lose members.

The look on Brad Scotts face at the presser is priceless. Glad Port won just to see that. Houston lucky the umpire didnt give him the hurry along. There was still time for either side.

How the hell is Dangerfield out there playing? Didnt Geelong , Scott and the media make a huge deal about how brave he was playing with a suspected punctured lung and cracked ribs. What a load of garbage. The media is a joke. You cant believe anything they say.

100% agree but very few on DL want him. He kicked 8 goals in the first two rounds yet many say he's too banged up. Get him as fit as possible then play him. That time is now.

So much rides on where you finish in the top four ( eight). We can avoid going to hellish interstate venues if the dice roll our way and we get Pies 1 v 4 or maybe 2 v3. Straight throught to Prelim MCG. I still think ii can be done from 5 -8 if your team is fit and healthy. Lions Port and Pies have peaked but how long can they keep it going.

Most teams have had key players out during the season. We've managed our players OK. NO bigee.

Yes.

Strewth. According to some posters Collingwood is the most exciting,arousing-urgh- and brilliant team God ever shovelled guts into. Apparently Collingwood have their name engraved on the cup already. Why not! Degoey and Sidebottom return soon and will be unbeatable. May as well unpack the skis and head for the slopes.

Never happen.

Does that number include the two games scheduled for the Cattery but abandoned due to Covid and grandstand constuction issues some years back. Both should be included in the total as the intent was there from the AFL. Its either 26 or worse 28. We'll be going there again next year because we dont know how to lobby.

Hardwick to the Suns would seem a good fit. Alot of untapped talent will appeal to the former Essendon sniper.

You know your club is screwed if its rivals are the Saints. Hawthorn doesnt like us and hates losing. (a friend of mine played for hawks for years). Hawthorn will still blame Bourke for ruining Hudsons career as he was peaking. Bulldogs is an interesting one growing out of 2021 Grand Final and they too are premiers. Collingwood and Eddie couldnt give AF about us. That will only change if we beat them in finals. Our H&A record is appalling against them. Richmond and Anzac Eve could become huge if both our teams keep winning . Port v Crows, Eagles v Freo are probably the most ferocious of all rivalries as theyre both 2 team towns.

Crowd size is irrelevant at the Cattery more important is MCG crowd Cats v Pies 70K or thereabouts. Pert should definitiely lobby the Afl. Lowly Hawthorn never go down there its absurd. Saints and Eagles got a reprieve this year.

Port and Lions likely to face off in the Qualifier so thats good. Dont want to finish 3rd and play interstate. 4th puts us against Pies which is our fastest route to the GF. But I'll take 5th .All is not lost from there.

The lions will have a training run. May even manage a few key players. I cant see 190 & 186 points (Fitzroy)ever being passed. Looks like we're stuck with it.

Thats the spirit! you tell em. Amazing how much hatred there is on this forum for Essendon. LOL. Apart from the dirty 2000 GF ( we didnt fight back, too soft) they've humiliated us far less than Geelong and Hawthorn over the years. We been very lucky with the role of the dice over the last month. Hopefully Crows win today though unlikely. Collingwood get such a good ride from the AFL. They'll never play at the Cattery. Dillon will send us back again next year.

Enjoy while it lasts. Would you put money on them not winning a flag by 2029? Its the Eagles . They' ll get loads of love from Dillon . Its how the corporate world works. Their supporters will still turn up because they know. Will Stkilda win a flag before them?

Geez there's alot of hens cackling on this thread. Oliver has a hammy . Get over it. Give him another game off. Dont fly him to the middle of a desert. Ridiculous. Only the MFC gives up a home game and such a vital match against GWS. Heart of the Nation game. Who cares? No one. A loss could derail our season. Shut down the NT after this season. Stick a fork in it and cook it.

Melbourne 2024 Cattery

Heading off to the store to get a bottle of whisky and a packet of smokes+ bucket of ice. Bucket will come in handy if i have to vomit after Hawkins and Scott hug after the game. Thai man making a racket next door renovating his shophouse. Cant hear myself think. I think dees have this . Anyone know who the umpures are?
